It’s been a busy week. I’ve started a night shifts and my sleep is a mess. I have her the 3rd topping this week and defoliated all before I realized I didn’t take a before photo. But she’s doing good and I’m enjoying the training with this delayed veg.
Her little clone (first to) has fully rooted the 2oz cup and is holding up well on her own. I’m going to transplant her soon. The 4 cuts from her 2nd topping are showing roots too (it’s been 8 days), I’ve started opening the ziplock to allow them to adjust to lower humidity. No clones from the 3rd topping, I just pinched back the growth.
Feed hasn’t changed, environment is stable, watering once daily.. just waiting for flowering space. Very happy with her progress and loving growing in coco and not worrying about wet feet.
4 days later.. all the clones are doing well out of the humidity dome, all 5 cuts rooted, nice!
She drinks almost 500ml per day, 6 inches tall. We have to wait about 4 more weeks before we have flowering space so we will probably give her 16 tops in total.
Happy growing
We topped her down to node 3 and removed growth sites below, hope it wasn’t too much, watered her in with our collected rain water enriched with the gp3 nutrients 🤞🤞
Happy growing
Friendship plant update: the soil took 2 weeks to dry out and she was watered again today. Growth on every branch but she’s still very “soft” and in recovery. Half dose fertilizer and moderate light, letting the soil dry down, giving her a gentle wake up. Once she’s firmed up, probably in the spring, she will get root pruned and repotted in a good fast draining compost. Then we will wire her and tidy up her bonsai. No signs of roots from the cuttings yet but we know from experience we need patience!
Gratitude practice update: We are growing our practice along with our plants and we are finding more and more reasons to be thankful. I find I’m most thankful for family and it inspires me to do extra little acts of kindness for them throughout my day. That makes the good feelings grow
We will update more later in the week.
Happy growing friends
