MONDAY 9/10:
I fed her Microbe Brew and a big dose of Boomerang twice last week and she's still sickly looking, so tonight I bought a 10g pot to transplant her into. I'll do that tomorrow. I've tried not to feed her much Nitrogen so she doesn't get too big..I don't want her so tall I can't work with her..she'll already be 10x bigger than her clones as it is. I may even top her once she's acting healthier.
So, once space is at a premium in the small tent, I'll move the clones into the big tent with their mamma and the Pineapple Express. The PE should be finished up by the end of September or first week of October. At that point, I'll hopefully have the 15 Kushpialidocious clones at 12" and bushy + their big mamma in my 4' x 5' tent. Then I'll be able to switch to 12/12 and start making a bunch of Kushpialidocious flowers for Christmas presents!😇
TUESDAY:
I was busy harvesting another plant yesterday, so she's still in the 5g pot....TOMORROW!👈
I've been pumping up the lighting and adding 1/3 strength Boomerang + Flower's Kiss to ph'd spring water for the healthiest of the cuttings and they LOVE IT. If I can get a good 10" of growth out of them in the next few weeks, I'll be stoked. I took another 5 cuttings from her a few days ago and they are doing much better in rockwool than the first batch did in rapid rooter plugs...
When will I ever learn??
.....when something really matters, always go with what you know...
WEDNESDAY:
I transplanted mamma-Kushpi into the 10g pot today...wow was she ever rootbound.. I'm sure she's gonna go apeshit now, so I'll definitely be topping the hell out of her in the next few days. I gave her a gallon of nutes with extra boomerang and microbe brew. I wish I had some Kangaroots..will order some ASAP. All the clones in the tent are growing, some faster than others. The last 4 clones from the first batch ain't gonna make it, but the most recent 4 look great...already seeing some rooting activity in just 5 days.
THURSDAY:
No shock from the transplant, but that rootball is so tight that she hasn't figured out she can grow deeper yet..
All but one of the clones are looking good, and it even has some new growth.
FRIDAY:
I ignored mamma-Kushpi today, but doted on her clones. Everybody was misted with nutes a few times today, and I split 2 gallons of ph'd water with bud candy and a little boomerang between the 7 seedlings and 10 cuttings in the small tent.
SATURDAY:
Mamma-Kushpi still hasn't perked up like I hoped she would. I don't think her taproot is finding all that new soil down below...😟
I've just about decided to move her outdoors to finish. As Indica as it seems to be, it should flower and finish pretty quickly considering the time of year, and it will be infinitely easier to manage 14 same-height clones in the big tent without that big bitch in there eclipsing my sun.👈
