18-5.
big plant is growing well, having grown 23 centimeters in a week, the smaller one seemed to experience some difficulties. Maybe the soil has been washed out more during the abundant rainfall of the last weeks, while the bigger one formed a kind of umbrella recieving enough moisture from above but not quite washing out the nutrients. I added some cat kibble, and some organic mineral feriliser by poking holes in the soil with my finger and pushing it in the soil, the growing tip looks happyer again, leaves where thinner not forming an umbrella like the first one did with very broad leaves. Today I used the ground drill and I made some holes in the soil at about 80 centimeters from the plant and I filled them up with predator dung mixed with dry cow manure some organic mineral fertiliser and some bonemeal and some vinassekali since predator dung is mostly nitrogen and I wanted to add some Phosphorus and potash too weather is very cool these days, but the plant grows well.
I think last week the plant still hasa grown mainly on the nutrients present in the pot before I planted the thing, and I think it has invested more energy in expanding its roots in the earth. The new leaves emerging seem to become thinner and longer. The temperatures are predicted to rise during the coming week with reasonable amounts of sun, combining with exponentially growing amounts of water and nutrients being delivereed by a growing root system I am looking foreward to the growth rate in the coming week.
Update 22-5 The 18th I cut of all sidebranches, to stimulate vertical growth and to be able to walk around it and to give it the looks of a tree from some distance. I think this evening or tomorrow I will see what happens when all the energy is forced into one tip. Weather has flipped towards sunny and dry.;
MAKING CLONES?
3 days ago I took cuttings from my plant. First I have stuck them in bottles with water and a knifetip of roothormone powder, I thought maybe this way they suck up something, and I went on a canal cruise where I got an Idea.
I How about letting the stalk stick out of the bottom of the pots, Make holes in the lid of the other pots, and fill tyhose up with water with some powder they add to the water to extend the life of flowers in a vase.
This way they can suck water, they are standing for three days in the sun and they look exactly like the mother plants. I am very curious to see if this is going to work.
Big plant is 80 cm
Plant is growing very well under lamps and when available, the sun. The shape of the leaves is different from previous Frisian Dew, the fingers are broader. Does this mean that this one is more Indica?
@DutchPassion_Official,Thanks for your reaction, you do care for your babies 😉 Don't worry, when I had to leave the seedling alone, I covered the soil with a layer of sand, to reduce evaporation. I have a poking hole just above the bottom of the bucket to check moisture.
@Grow4Releaf,The top leaves are still green, the lower leaves are becoming yellow. Would it mean that the cuttings are sacrificing those leaves for the nutrients necessary for making roots?
@WatercanWampa,Thanks! That is allso a bit of perspective, because my shoes are further away from the phone than the leaves, but still, they are bigger than my hands. Because I want my plant to grow high, I pruned all sidebranches this morning, (I am trying to make clones) now all the nutrients and water go to one single growing tip, so she will probably make even bigger ones. She is allso standing in the ground for a week spreading her roots.
