It's been awhile and I've been busy doing other things around the house but slowly I've been in the process of documenting the progress of the last Peyote Gorilla seed in store.
Starting in the beginning of October, I set the last two PG seeds in the rock wool cubes and set the light at 16/8 photoperiod schedule.
By the middle of the month I produced a seedling. Just before November, the seedling was transplanted into a dedicated bucket. The video below shows it in the rockwool cube (little bit of algae growth but harmless). The bubbler is producing oxygen for the plant roots, enabling it for grow quickly. The schedule moved into 18/6 hours for photoperiod. The leaves were bright green and struggled a little, so I capped the seedling with a plastic bottle (bottom cut out) to maintain moisture. I use a regular spray bottle with only tap water.
Each week I snapped a few photos. It grew fast in the fall months. Very symmetrical. No odor. Bright green and general feeding.
At this point, we've entered into the clone cut phase around mid December. I took several large branches off the plant and set them in bottles, removing their tops and cutting them to fit over one another. This is to provide the clones a pocket of moisture. Due to the intense dryness in the Arizona desert air, the containers were a safe haven for the plants. Each clone was set in a rockwool cube. Each cube was in a water bottle and sprayed daily with water to promote growth and adequate oxygen.
After the clones were made, the plant went into flower phase, the schedule became 12/12 hour photoperiod. I left the clones alone beside the bucket but unfortunately they began to produce their own flowers. It takes a lot of time and energy to reverse a clone back to vegetation, and usually it kills the clone in the process. Of the two clones, only one survived.
We'll continue with the harvest photos in the next post. Thank you for reading.
