Grow 3 - OG Kush Clone 1

20230331 - At Day 21 of my first grow I topped my plant, cutting just above the 4th node, recut the topping at 45 degrees, dipped the tip in some Clonex rooting gel and stuck her into a Root Riot Planter Starter Cube resting in some perlite with a good watering. Then I played the waiting game. Week 1: The leaves drooped rather quickly and the tips of the two remaining fan leaves started to yellow. I kept the starter cube moist throughout this period. On retrospect, maybe removing these would have allowed what little energy the clone was able to generate to put towards more rapid rooting, but I honestly have no idea. I also could have allowed the starter cube to dry out more before watering again as this might have also encouraged root growth, but that's for me to test next time. Week 2: The leaves darkened to a deeper green and the tips of all the fan leaves points turned yellow. I was encouraged that her leaves weren't drying out and she were still green, although was pretty convinced that she wasn't going to make it given no growth and no evidence of any rooting was observed. But I stuck with her. Towards the end of this week I let her starter cube dry out a bit more, spacing the watering to every other day. 20230416 - Day 16: Roots! There may only be two little white things poking out, but I was so excited to see these show up. Today I planted her starter cube in some Fox Farm Happy Frog soil on top of a thick layer of clay pebbles in a clear solo cup with some holes punched in the bottom and then stuck all that inside another opaque solo cup. This would allow me to observe further root growth while ensuring the roots themselves stay hidden from any direct light. Water
