23.03.24: When topping the cocopopo plants from my other grow 10 days ago, i took their tops and put them in a self made willow water. Willows contain root hormons, which solve in water but only to a certain concentration according to a look on the wiki page. So i broke down 2 young willow branches skinned them made little pieces and put them in hot but not boiling water. Around 70° Celsius. Let it be for about 24 hours, filtered with a coffee filter and put the fresh cut tops in for 24 hours. After that i dipped them in cinnammon which also contains root hormons stuck them in eazy plugs. The roots showed up yesterday. Within 8 days.
This will be my standard treatment from now on but i will experiment soon with yeast which also contains the hormons. I have a report on a big bud grow in a 6 liter paper bag which i will take clones from to experiment with.
31.03.24: I'm adding seedlings to this neverending report. Put Watermelon jam seedling 1 and the big bud clone 1 into self mad containers made from plastic bottles, put them into a paper bag and filled the bag with leaves to protect the roots. At the bottom is baking paper held on the bottle with a rubber band. I cut a slit in the paper. For a better ventilation i made vertical slits into the bottle and bent the cut a little. I wanna check how the roots develop.
01.04.24: Choco 1 (Clone) has a well developed side branch (left side) splitting into 2 colas. At the bottom 3 colas develop from one cut i made. They look a little upset. Maybe due to the change in light exposure. I kept them under a ventilated tupperware greenhouse i made while they rooted and put them at the rim of the lighted area...
06.04.24: I didn't move the coco seedling yet. It's showing the same symptoms of deformation the elongated coco plant from my other report showed in the beginning.
07.04.24: I moved the Coco Seedling to a 1/4 l yoghurt cup. Decided to put it outside and maybe try taking clones first.
13.04.24: Choco clones 1 and 2 day 22, big bud clone day 17 and watermelon jam seedling 1 day 19: I turned down the outside box/open space light to 13 hours (cause of the tent) and the nouned clones started flowering. I will put them back to 14 hours.
16.04.24: Coco Seedling 01 showing no side branches growing. I wonder if it stops now from total growth or what?
19.04.24: I willow-watered the coco bloom clones yesterday and will settle them to self filled reused eazy plug containers for rooting today.
25.04.24: I think i cut down choco clone 01 and choco clone 02. Had a little infestation with fungus gnats, maybe this was too much. I'm currently fighting the fungus gnats with dung tea made from bears garlic. The allicin kills the larvae. Also the Cocopopo 01 seedling has to go sadly. But it didn't do anything as u can see.
29.04.24: I took the ill specimen Choco Clone 01 and 02 and put them outside since their didn't cure and their soil was infested with gnats. I hope they make it somehow. Will check in a few days. I keep the Choco Seedling to see what it is doing.
04.05.24: I will end this report for the moment cause the remaining plants entered flowering phase already and i already have flowering reports on Watermelon Jam and Big Bud.

Choco day 1: put the clones in self folded 0.5 liter bags made with carton i had from the order of my last q1w. The soil is a basic mix with worm castings some solved chicken shit pellets and a minor fraction of other things i usually use. Additionally i put in some chicken pellets so solve during the vegetation in the next weeks. I wanna try if i can plant them in another pot from carton or a paper bag maybe in some weeks then and wanna see how the root the pot. This might come in handy for guerilla outdoor this year.
