In Bloom
It's finally time I started a proper journal for this preservation attempt of "Llanera" a.k.a. Colombian Black.
@Deebs , If you have any info from wherever you got the beans, feel free to add it in.
I started soaking 5 of the 10 beans on September 17th, just in case I had a hard time germinating.
I had no immediate issues germinating, so I started the remaining 5 beans a few days later.
One of the first 5 (#5) did get a little too tall in it's first few days above soil, fell, and crimped it's stem. It tried to recover for a couple weeks, but ended up dying after a valiant struggle.
Meanwhile, beans #6-10 came up with no major issues. There were a couple that were either slow to pop, or tried to crimp off due to height, but all ended up coming out of their seedling phase strong.
We ended up with 9 of 10 Colombians vegging along nicely for the last 7 or 8 weeks, and they'll be switching to bloom in the next few days.
Here they are as babies, about 2 weeks from soak, on Oct 2... They're sharing space with a few of their grow mates, Gwniver (Blueberry x Tashkurgan) #1-4
These next pics are from Oct 26th, just before moving to the floor for a little late veg stretch session. CB#5 Has died and been removed by now..
Here's a shot from November 1...
Yesterday, November 11, and another pic from this morning. They probably should have gone into flower last week, but they'll head in soon anyway.
Nov12...
The next update should find the gals and guys in flower. Let's see how they streeeetch!
