Kush Mintz Fast Clones

lunarpriestess Potted on my first attempt at clones today. Other than being quite yellow due to lack of nutrients (I think) the roots seem healthy so I have confidence they should bounce back and become strong now that they are in compost.

lunarpriestess Plants seem to be coming back into health barring one, which I'm not suprised about as I was not gentle when i transplanted them. I haven't needed to water the plants since I put the initial water on them when I transplanted them. I have taken off some of the proper yellow leaves and will continue to change the configuration of the pots every few days so they get equal lighting. I've also included photos of the mother plant at the end.

lunarpriestess Well they are still alive, even the one that was dying hasn't passed away yet :) still got enough water so all I've had to do is rearrange the pots under the light every now and then. When they become large enough, I plan to bend the plants so i can scrog later on. Obligatory mother plant photo at the end, she is also doing well and will be ready to harvest soon update- today i decided to bend 2 of the plants as they seemed large enough

lunarpriestess Decided to crack on with the 6 healthy plants that are doing well. Pots are still wet from the original 1 litre of water i put in each pot when these were transplanted. As they look more robust as individual plants, I will be bending them to make the best use of my limited space. My technique for bending the plants at this stage involves continuing to manipulate the tip of the plant as it grows with basic gardening wire. This worked perfectly for the mother plant, it seems that this strain is resilient to my somewhat heavyhanded approach as I have not snapped a single branch on the mother plant despite my relative inexperience when it comes to bending the plant. Mother plant will be ready for cropping any day now, I reckon. She was my first attempt at indoor photoperiod - I've found theres less urgency to harvest compared to growing outdoors as the plants indoors are much less susceptible to budrot it seems. Haven't bothered with defoliation this week as all the leaves seem to be healthy enough for photosynthesis currently.

lunarpriestess I continue with bending the plants. They got 0.5L of water a few days ago and they seem to be doing well. Still not applied any liquid feeds as I believe it's easy to give these clones nutrient burn, opting to start this once I feel happy that the plants are established. Last photo shows the buds weighing the stem down on the mother plant, surely ready to harvest any day now

lunarpriestess UPDATE Mother plant has been harvested and she yielded 539.2g or 19.02oz fresh off the plant which has to be a new record for me, due to training the plant (my first time) and SpiderFarmer who didn't mess about when it came to the SF100D 100w light it has suprised me. I also got plenty of trim and popcorn buds which I will be using for edibles. I trimmed the buds as nicely as I could whilst on the plant even though it was like day of the triffids being blinded by the light and being continually smacked in the face by resinous buds which could barely hold their own weight on the plant (bamboo canes removed before trimming commenced due to concerns about poking my eye out). This made taking down the plant much easier in the long run as I had to handle the buds less. I was mindful that the buds seem pretty fucking huge so wanted to take enough leaf off to promote efficient drying. ___________________________________________ They are filling out the space now . All I've had to do is the bending which I'm calling LST even though I have been heavy handed with them. They haven't even required more watering. The humidity is much higher than usual as I forgot to open the door on the tent this morning. I'm opting not to turn my fans on yet so i don't get lots of debris stuck to the mother plant next door to these clones

lunarpriestess Been continuing with the bending, the pots still haven't dried out yet and the plants seem to be healthy
