Transition Transplanted into 2 gallons of pro-mix cx in a fabric pot. Forgot to take a photo of her amazing roots! Using wire to hold the branches at even height to each other and still at 18/6 to root out. Will switch to 12/12 next week.
Final training session 4 days after transplant: she has 16 tops, I’ve removed all the extra growth sites and did final defoliation. Adjusted all the wires, she’s more bushy on one side 🤷♀️
I’m really happy with how she’s turned out and her clones have all been transplanted up into 500ml cups of pro-mix cx getting week 3 veg feed schedule from gp3.
We are very grateful for this gratitude grow to start off our perpetual harvest!
Maintaining in the veg tent 18/6:
- We have our Mama Gratitude Pothead! The first cut from our first topping has grown enough herself to be topped and pruned into an open cup shape! She will be kept under 18/6 light from now on to keep her in perpetual veg for taking clones. I will be feeding her 1/4 strength nutrients. We will treat her to bonsai-style root pruning to keep our mother small.
- We have our first rooting clone from Mama Pothead dipped in pro-mix stim-root powder in 2oz cup of prom-mix cx sealed in a ziplock bag.
Switched to flower December 7
- Our beautiful lady from seed goes into flower mainlined for 16 colas
- We also sent to flower the 4 rooted clones in 500ml solo cups for 4 additional gratitude bud sticks!
With gratitude, happy growing
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
