Well, nothing from the citral seeds, except one pretty much fell apart showing me no life inside...not looking to good to me since I started the germination 3 day ago. I'll wait a couple more. That's fine... Just makes my quest for local strains more enjoyable.
The male started to drop pollen last night...2 weeks and 1 day @ 11 hrs of light. Going to keep for a couple more days. Not to worried if it gets in the air a little bit, there is only a few hundred possible seed pods on the girls.
Speaking of the girls...they are getting huge. Seriously I think they are going to grow out of my box and really sucking up the water. I guess, the crossing leaves are their way of flowering. Kinda looks like they are crossing their fingers (hoping that I'm not going to cut them down maybe), ha. They must have some sativa in their heritage. Very, very slow on the flower making. Very stretched but very strong stems. Wide leaves and a light sweet skunk smell. For now I'm going to keep them going...let them use up the nutes in their pot, leach and transplant to a bigger pot to finish.
I've come to a conclusion, if the the stumpy, bushy and purple male, doesn't make the next batch of seeds from these two females (I hope i get seeds), smaller size to get to their mature state to flower. If they still grow big and have good quality...I will build my outdoor strain from this grow. These girls needed to be outside to truly show off.
Happy growing!
Peace.
