I'm in love with Mary Jane! In particular, a plant of the MK Ultra strain. M3 is gorgeous!
I took that photo today, to look for signs of pistils (female plant reproductive parts), since my eyesight hasn't been very good lately. A camera lets me have a closer look at things. In this case, SUCCESS! Another female! (Also, it's quite a pretty photograph, of an aesthetically-pleasing plant.)
Here's a closeup from another photo, of another part of M3:
Unmistakable pistils, finally. They're small, but they're there. Pistils mean this isn't a male plant (which I've already had enough of).
Have a look at her. She's one of the larger plants in the garden, and got one of the big pots at transplant time, so she's where she belongs! I look forward to seeing her flowers as they develop. What a beauty she is! <3
Update on S2
Yesterday I posted that S2, a tiny Steem OG in a small pot, had been confirmed female. I washed her roots off, since she had become rootbound in the small pot.
She was very droopy last night after the transplant, but has perked up today:
Although have a closer look at the leaves, how the edges curl upward like canoes. I think she's still stressed:
I'll watch her closely and see what tomorrow brings.
In the meantime, here's the garden just before lights out tonight:
Roll Call
M1 - unknown - big healthy plant in large pot
M2 - unknown - healthy plant in large pot
M3 - female - big healthy plant in large pot
M4 - unknown - culled at first transplant
M5 - unknown - failed to thrive after germination
S1 - unknown - tiny plant in small pot
S2 - female - tiny plant now in large pot
S3 - female - big healthy plant in large pot
S4 - male - composted
S5 - male - composted (pollen collected)
(italics = confirmed for final cut)
I can only fit 4 adult plants, and I have 2 confirmed big healthy females, so I have 1 or maybe 2 more spots open.
I need at least 1 more female from between M1, M2, and S1. I'm hoping for 2 more females, so I have options going into the final cut. Stay tuned!
