May 9 - I've got to get both these ladies into bigger pots.. the roots are definitely getting too much for the ones they're in. The topping of #1 went VERY well and she recovered within a day! #2, however, is needing some different attention - and I put up those last two photos to show everyone that two plants grown from seeds of the same strain from the same seedbank purchased at the same time and given the same conditions and treatment can react entirely differently and need different care.... each plant is a bloody individual! That will not particularly apply to clones - so I'm glad my instinct on which of them to clone is showing to be correct.. #1 is a MUCH better, stronger and more resilient plant.
I am attempting my first clone of the top I cut off from #1... and after days of looking all but dead, she's starting to perk up a bit which means she hasn't bought the farm yet... so I'm going to start a new diary for it... Captain Future Clone... I'll grow her in DWC so if you're interested in THAT particular journey, look at that diary.
Meanwhile, back to #2, I'm going to have to do some thinking about her - but I have the feeling she's just not liking the aggressive feeding... going to also add some calmag to her this week... AND I've dropped the pH on both of them because I think it was a little too high and she (#2) wasn't able to get what she needed from the nutes... We'll see....
That looks a lot of work and it's understandable it's needed to be done before autumn, the sunny days are the good moment for this kind of work. Wish you luck and happy summer 👍😉
