My First Grow
A few years ago, Canada legalized cannabis for sale in certain stores, as well as allowing up to 4 plants to be grown per household.
In May of this year, I decided to try my hand at growing. I had a few seeds that I had pulled out of some purchased bud, I wasn't sure what strain they were, or if they would even grow. 2 of the tree seeds very quickly failed, but one was showing promise after about a month.
Around the same time, my neighbour, who has been growing for a few years now, gave me 3 of his plants, as his seeds were very successful and he ended up with well over the legal limit.
These plants were already quite well established and tall, compared to the small shrubbery of a plant that I had produced.
I had been growing them mostly outdoors, but when it came time to flower, I brought the plants to my dark basement and put them on a 12-hour light cycle. Things were going well until one day my original plant and one other just up and died. Healthy one day, completely dead the next. The other two plants were fine and had begun flowering.
I harvested the first one back in October, it had some pest problems and the yield was minimal, maybe 7 grams from the whole plant. 4ish by the time it dried
Leafy buds, pre-trimming
I decided to wait on the remaining plant, and I'm glad I did. Those 2 extra months did wonders, as it had some health issues mid summer (probably due to heat) that delayed its maturity. I probably still only got a half ounce out of it, but the buds look sticky and fat compared to the first harvest. Beautiful colouring and trichomes
Trimmed final product, ready to hang
Sadly, I only have the photos from last night's harvest, as the phone containing all other photos no longer works, and they weren't backed up for whatever reason.
I'm looking forward to getting going again in the spring, with a bit more knowledge and a better setup!
What should I call this mystery strain?
