somehow i managed to keep three of the four clones alive since the last update, but only just barely… there’s one that basically died, and i put it aside with the intent of composting it, eventually, and there are two which looked like they were going to pull through, but then they didn’t grow at all for two months, and i thought they weren’t going to make it, when the first one started doing better (which was, for all intents and purposes, “dead”), so i stopped paying attention to the two that i thought weren’t going to make it, and re-potted the one that i thought might pull through after all, and after a couple weeks it went from being, for all intents and purposes, dead, to being the plant that i thought had the best chance of the three… and then the other two miraculously pulled through, and now, three months later, all three are looking like they’re going to survive.

i actually took four clones from the big one, today: two are going to my next door neighbour, who has been getting starts from a “professional” grower for who knows how long, now (since before i moved in, six years ago), but who has gone out of business, this year, because “it is legal, now”.

i am planning on going up to bellingham on friday, where i hope to meet up with darol and bring home some starts of his strain, because the next door neighbour was so impressed with “the christmas tree” that he grew, last year… which, basically, he put back in a shadowed part of his back yard and ignored last summer, and it produced a crop anyway. this year he wants to try putting them on his deck, where there’s more sunlight, so any starts i bring home from bellingham will go to the neighbours, as well.

i’m still in awe that it is ACTUALLY LEGAL… 🎉 at the state level… 😒
