Blue Gelato 41: Growing a MILF

This was another uneventful week. Bertha is just chilling in her tent, slowly fattening her buds. Judging from her progression, I'd guess we have another three, maybe four, weeks to go. Her buds have a strong scent of pine. The only "exciting" thing that happened this week was letting the reservoir in the SIP go dry. Currently, we have tons of fungus gnats in our house plants, so I ordered enough nematodes to treat all the decorative plants in the house, all the tomato and pepper seedlings, Bertha, and her clones. So I had to let Bertha dry out a bit before I could apply the nemos by top watering. Speaking of clones... It has been a wild ride with the clones. Somehow, the clones went into flower while waiting to get roots. I have absolutely no idea how that happened since they were on 18 hours of light all the time. After transplanting the four clones I selected to keep, I changed the light cycle to 20 hours and put them under their regular, more powerful light to force them back into veg. It has now been three weeks, and they are finally starting to veg again after looking terrible the entire time. They still look pretty funky, though, as re-vegged plants often do. Two of them managed to top themselves since the top was flowering. I also see a clear difference between the soil recipes, so even though the clone grow has barely started, I have already learned valuable information. I planted my clones into my soil mix but used commercial soil for the other clones I planned to give to a friend. I don't know what's up with that soil, as all four clones died within four days! I used the same soil for my peppers and tomatoes, and they all look great. Weird shit.
