Cutting in Water about 30 Days ago
Day0 of 03.08.2024 - The Pre Era
Its the Topping of my 1st Grow , Older Girl , Nirvana Hawaii Maui Waui
I did Put the Topping into Water ๐
After about 30 Days , I saw Roots ๐
Will try to get it into Soil soon ๐
Hope it will survive and ....... ๐
Lets see if it will grow strong ๐ช
Day1 of 04.08.2024 - The Beginning
Put the Cutting Today into Soil , today ๐
The Roots are planted in the middel with Growing Soil for Seeds,
This Soil has only very less organic Fertilizer Substances
so the Water Roots do Not get damaged. ๐
Outside of the middel , there is Vegetable Soil which is natural, organic Fertilizer in the Soil. ๐ช
And On Top, as Cover there is Ibaraki Akadama Bonsai Soil Japan, small grain. ๐
The Cutting does not have much hight, so the leafs are close to the ground ๐
I need to check everytime , so they not get too wet ๐
1cm in Hight now ๐๐
Healthy , but the leafs got some brownish spots ๐
Light 16 Hours, 60 cm away from the Light source ๐
Did Soak the Soil with Water and let The Water Drain for long ๐
for now 1 Day No Water. ๐
Hope it will Survive the Transfer from Water to Soil and gets Strong ๐ช
We will see in a week or so ๐
Day2 05.08. - Of course not much changed
Still doing Roots and try to Survive ๐
But doing fine till now ๐ช
Day3 06.08. - Cutting in the Sun
Normally you do not put Cuttings in the Sun ๐
But I could not resist , the sun was so nice warm burning from the sky ๐
Cute little Cuttling Needs Some Sun ๐
Day4 07.08. - Still Fine
The Cuttling still fine ๐
But not growing ๐ญ
It is still flat like Pan Cake, hmmm Pan Pakes ๐
Day6 08.08. - No Changes

Still needs time to do roots ๐
Day7 09.08. - Still Flat
The Cuttling still fine ๐
Gets a bit Water ๐
Still not growing into the Sky ๐
@kohlrabi, Yes I hope it will grow, thanks Kohlrabi
Its my 1st Cutting try of Cannabis , I only know how to do Bonsai Cuttings.
Ibaraki is a City Prefecture Region North of Tokyo in Japan , where the Soil is coming from.
And Akadama ?
Due to volcanic activity, Japan enjoys rich volcanic resources. After volcanic eruptions, volcanic rocks and pumice accumulate near the volcano. Several horticultural products based on these materials have been developed in Japan, two of which are the Akadama and kanuma soils.
Akadama is a naturally occurring, granular clay-like mineral used as soil for bonsai trees and other container-grown plants. It is surface-mined, immediately sifted and bagged, and supplied in various grades; the deeper-mined grade are somewhat harder and more useful in horticulture than the more softer, shallow-mined grades. Akadama may also act as one component of growing medium when combined with other elements such as sand, composted bark, peat, or crushed lava. The color darkens when moist which can help the grower determine when to water a tree. Also that it is Grainy Soil , the roots getting more Oxygen, what is good for roots and the plant and the roots will not rot so fast. It does cost more , but when its not contaminated you can use it again and you can use it for a very long time , a lot of soil you need to replace after a time because its dead or too much contaminated, but Akadama can stay as soil for some years. And as Top layer it helps also against fungus gnats (Trauermรผcken)
Components include silicon dioxide SiO2 42.7%, calcium oxide CaO 0.98%, magnesium oxide MgO 2.5%, manganese oxide MnO 0.15%, iron oxide Fe2O3 8.4%, and aluminium oxide Al2O3 25.1%.
Akadama has a pH of 6.9 and conductivity of 0.052 ms/cm.
Es ist zwar gebrannter Lehm, kann man aber nicht mit Blรคhton vergleichen und auch nicht mit Lavagestein was ganz anders ist aber Mineralien hat von Lavagestein, der einzige Nachteil hier ist, dass der PH-Wert eigentlich nicht "Optimal" fรผr Cannabis ist, mal schauen, hab ja auch nicht zu viel verwendet. Bei Cannabis liegt der PH Wert optimal bei 6 und Akadama hat 6,9. Es gibt welche die sagen, dass es PH Neutral wรคre, aber das glaube ich nicht. Es reagiert beim ersten Mal auch extrem mit Wasser und setzt Gase frei, was das genau ist weiร ich aber nicht, denke CO2 und Sickstoff.
