BennyBud2210 This time a CURVED CUCUMBER CUTTINGS run
Ordered already in mid-November, with a desired date on January 7, 2026.
It didn't even take 24 hours, and the 3 were with me. Temperatures at that time were consistently below 0 degrees (outside)
Fit and vital, they went straight into the 15-liter final pots..
All three survived the shipping and repotting well...
BennyBud2210 A lot has happened this week 😜😎✂️
I brought the main stem into a horizontal position with the green plant benders...
The plan is to get them all to the same height later on and keep the plants small...
I topped the main stem and also topped the side branches, removing all unnecessary shoots...
It's a very stressful time for the plants, you can see it on some of them...
I'm going to leave all three alone for a week now.
So no more cutting, just refining the LST (tying them down further and shaping them 😇
We'll catch up next week 🍀

BennyBud2210 Not much happened this week 😇
Did a bit more trimming (topping) and cut off quite a few leaves...
We'll see how well the ladies handle it 💥

BennyBud2210 Everything went smoothly this week too.
BennyBud2210 So far so good 👍🏼
But, fungus gnats have taken over 😢😱😡
Immediate measures...
Watered with nematodes, topped with fine sand. And set up a few yellow sticky traps..
One day later, nothing flying around anymore..
Sure, there are probably some eggs in the soil, but the nematodes will do their job...
Otherwise, no problems 🔥

BennyBud2210 Everything is developing as it should?🍀🔥
Fungus gnats are no longer visible.
Still going without any nutrients or boosters.
The only thing going into the tap water is Biobizz CalMag and Biobizz PH-...
I think the Super Lemon Haze will get a feeding with a Bloom nutrient in the next few days.
Looks good so far, for me it will either be the RS11 or the Glitter Bomb from Krumme Gurken. How did the cuttings do for you? And how is the Glitter Bomb performing from your perspective?
Best regards
@Limez, they all arrived in great shape for me. It didn't even take 24 hours (shipping). The Glitterbomb honestly had the most problems 🤣 Nothing crazy and it was my fault (slight over-fertilization and a bit too much stress from countless topping 🤣🤣🤣 But she's pulling through.
@BennyBud2210, okay then I hope I can report something similar. my 3 glitter bomb will arrive next week. I'll also start a diary. Otherwise, all the best and thanks for the pictures!
@Limez, It's hard to define anything there 😜🤣 But I would say the SuperBoof has a very interesting scent profile.. definitely sweet at the moment, but what exactly? No idea
I'm keeping my fingers crossed that those little beasts are gone soon. Do you want to remove a few more leaves, or will everything stay as it is until they're done? I'm excited for the harvest!
@Limez, at least there are none visible anymore? 🍀
I'm leaving it like this this time 😎
Normally, I take away a lot more (leaf mass), but I'm leaving a bit more on, I want the ladies to stay up for a long time... this way they have more to draw from later (in case I still need to fertilize and do it too late or even forget it 😉
Air circulation is really good despite all the leaves (I'm surprised) 😂
