Growingdoors We're starting off with some Purple Queen clones from Royal Queen. The mother has been acting weird since the beginning; she self-divided. I don't know if it was my mistake or something with the plant, but I've noticed some variegated leaves (some sections of the leaves are a lighter green than the rest) and others with abnormal morphology. I'm eager to see how she behaves in flowering. For now, I only have those two clones to see how they do, and I'm keeping the mother. I'm thinking of doing a SCROG for flowering and a comparison of using Mammoth P, which I'm really excited to try. So far, they haven't received any nutrients, just CalMag, since I've added enough worm castings to the substrate. Thanks for your comments and support, good vibes and peace.

Growingdoors I transplanted the clones to new pots, I put them in deep because they seemed too long, I added vermiculite and coconut coir to the substrate, as well as Mykos from Xtreme near the roots; I've tried it before and it works great for root development.
The new soil was very dry, hence the volume; I was thinking of doing an apical cut but I'm not sure if I ended up with a FIM because I tried to just break the tip to not hinder vegetative growth, but they were very dehydrated and I had to pinch with my nails. We'll see what happens.
The mother plant has some leaves that start with sections of a lighter green color, but over time they turn green like the others; there have also been some leaves with a different shape, I'll try to upload some photos later. The clones don't show any of this yet; could it be that the mutation is only in some branches and the clones don't have those mutations? I'd like to see them in flowering to see if it's worth keeping the mother; she's the one that develops the weaker stems, but I've also found that she's the one that withstands the cold the best. The mother had aphids, and the clones did too, but it seems I've eliminated them with spruzit; I hope they don't come back, but just in case I'll try to do another spraying.
With the new pot, they're very close to the light; it's an LED and doesn't produce much heat, but I'm afraid of leaf burns, I'll see what I can do about that.
Thank you all for your comments and good wishes, good smokes and peace.
Edit: I moved them the next morning to the bottom floor of the cabinet because I thought they might burn with the lamp; now they'll be under a LEC 315W. I watered both last night with mammoth p, today they have a very nice color, and they look very happy; I think I haven't seen them looking this good before. I'll keep updating. Thanks for your comments!

Growingdoors The girls are stretching a lot, being so far from the lamp and with the mothers blocking so much light, I don't mind much, maybe I'll do some topping and wait for flowering to finish before moving the clones to the big cabinet and putting up the net. I haven't watered yet but I’ll have to do it today or tomorrow, the pots feel light. I could see a bunch of roots coming out from the bottom in all the plants, in a couple of weeks they'll need to move to bigger pots, although I guess they'll have space upwards because I planted them pretty deep since the stem was long. Next time I'll make smaller clones. Thanks to those who have sent their good vibes and wishes, let's go all out this cycle!

Growingdoors What's up everyone, I've moved the girls to the next level, I came up with some tables I had lying around, I've pruned the mothers and they all received nutrients, I've done several supercroppings to keep the branches horizontal and encourage lateral shoots, but I think I'll need to do a bit more apical pruning. So far, everything's good, I have a new growmie who's just starting out, I gifted him two clones once he gets his tent set up, so we might end up with just one plant. For now, I already have a new set of clones in water this time since the last one had little success in coco. I'm going to start a multi-species diary with them at some free moment I have.
Cheers and thanks a lot for your support, likes, and comments, let's see how it goes...
