I transplanted the seedlings from a 125ml pot to 500ml, I added mycorrhizal fungi, diatomaceous earth and rock dust.
I'm planning of growing the plants outdoor and supplement with indoor lights for thesale next two month until winter is over and when spring begins than I'm going to plant outside them outside under the mighty African Sun.
Seedlings coming along nicely, feed plants 200ml kelp today. My other 2 Glueberry OG seeds didn't sprout.
Nothing much to say, just waiting for the winter to pass so thatI i can plant my plants in bigger pots and grow them outside.
Day 17, transplanted seedlings into 4.5L pot to veg until spring arrives in September then their all going outside to bask under the best grow light on earth.
Day 23, plants are growing well the roots are stretching down and plants getting bigger by the day.
Will leave plants to drink up all the water before watering again. Time for the roots to grow, one more month than I'm taking clones where I can and plants will sleep outside
Day 26, plants coming along nicely
Day 28, End of week 4 and plants are growing well, it's still cold in the night but getting warmer during the day.
Gonna go another 3-5 days before I water the plants. I'm going to brew a popcorn seed sprout tea with fish emulsion and molasses.
I'm making a 1.2m x 1.2m raised bedding (outdoor) for the fastest growing plant of the 4 strains, so far it looks like Zsweet Inzanity has the most vigorous growth.
Day 29, beginning of weeksomething 5, plants starting to gain pace a bit.
Making a raised bed for the plant with the most vigor when spring arrives.
Day 31, watered plants with fish emulsion, molasses and kelp, 1 liter per plant and I fimmed
Day 35, last day of week 5 and plants lower branches are starting to push out. My grow tent should be back from stitching repairs this coming week than I can transplant the plants into 20L pots. I need to start taking close mid September.
I order 10 fem pack ethos genetics grape diamonds r2 delivery should be this coming week. I wanted toto get a 5 pack dinafem remo chemo but the seeds supplier got raided by our cops.
Day 37, gave each plant 1 litre of fish emulsion and molasses.
Day 37, my ethos genetics Grape Diamonds R2 arrived and I got a free ethos Black Fire regular seed hope its female. It planted 5 Grape Diamonds and Black Fire the same day the seeds got delivered.
Day 39, branches are pushing out, tomorrow my tent will finally be done from repairs than I transplant these plants into 20L pots.
I got a 250 clone order that should be ready by mid October, I'm getting 6 clones from a trusted friend and order some Dutch Passion Seeds. I just put on my farmer hat watch this space.
Day 40, took cutting from each strain, soaking cuttings in aloe vera water for the next 36 hrs before I plant clones in coco and place inside dome.
Day 42 beginning of week 7, Mother plants recovering from their first cutting. Plants 2L of water, will transplant into 20L pot and take clones 6 days from now.
I'm still waiting for my grow tent from repairs, hopefully I'll get it tomorrow.
Took first clones of each plant, clones are about 28hrs inside grow medium and clone dome, they look good so far. I trust my organic aloe vera cloning method will work as perfect as Clonex until I have the resources to buy Clonex and the rest of the equipment needed for the grow tent.
Have to make 250 clones by 15th October, die baas van die plaas gaan nou uit fok.
Day 43, transplanted plants into 20L pots and I'm still waiting for my grow tent if I knew it was going to take 3 weeks I would have transplanted a week ago.
Plants are sleeping in the garage until tent arrives.
Tent back from repairs on Day 46.
Day 47, plants starting to recover from transplant shock and I there's aphids on the Glueberry OG and Zsweet Inzanity I cut off a few fans leaves that had aphids on. I ordered some organic insecticide and jiffy plugs will probably get then on Monday.
I'm letting the plants settle into their pots before I start taking cuttings and placing themthe other to veg when spring arrives next month (September)
I will take my second round of clones the begging of September.
Day 6, for the Glueberry OG, Inzane In The Membrane, Ocean Grown Cookies and Zsweet Inzanity, 8 more days than I'm transplanting the clones into 500ml pots
Day 50, plants are rebounding well after transplanting them, I'm expecting to see roots coming out of thethe clone medium within the next 5 days.
Day 51, Zsweet Inzanity just became a mom her clone is officially rooted.
Day 52, Glueberry OG, Inzane In The Membrane and Ocean Grown Cookies are also mom's their clones are rooted. Got aloe vera water as foliage feed 1L water + 10cm juicy aloe leaf. Taking more clones in 4 days time.

Day 1 for the rooted clones, I'm going to veg for 2 weeks than the plants are going outside to flower.
Day 57, plants doing well after taking clones, they each got 5L of water to flush any nutrient build-up.
Gonna take 70+ clones in 13 days time.
Beginning of week 10 and my mother's are looking good another week than I'm taking more clones.
Gave plants a light dosage of nutrients but used about 4L per pot so that my diy airpots are watered thoroughly.
I want to grow the plants under 18 hours of light until the 20th September than 3 days darkness so that on the 23rd September (equinoxes) they can go veg outside.
By the way I'm guessing on the height of the plants I'm not going to measure them with a ruler like I'm in school.
The Inzane In The Membrane is growing most vigorously among the plants so it's taking the huge raised bedding, I'm not sure if I'm going to plant the mother plant or just a clone.
The rest of the plants will each be planted in the smaller raised bedding.
Day 65, the white residue on the plants is my organic bio insecticide it's some spores check them on the pic.
Day 69, all is good one more day to go before taking more cuttings, I'm only going to take the bigger branches and give the smaller ones time to catch up than I'll take cuttings.
The Inzane In The Membrane is growing with the most vigor so it's going to take the biggest raised pot.
Day 70 the 1st clone batch was a success out of 38 cuttings 31 clones rooted and they spend the whole day under shade than got direct sunlight for 3 hours, took 31 cuttings for the 2nd batchhand going to take more in 5-7 days.
T
Day 73, took another batch if clones three days after taking the 2nd batch so now I have 80 clones that will root in 11 to 14 days.
The sun is hot again back to +30C° day temps, I was to lazy to take individual photos of my mother plants.
I'll give the plants 10 days to recover from the stress from taking cuttings.
Day 75, last day in the tent for my mother plants, tonight there going inside boxes for 3 day of darkness so that the plants forget the 18 hrs veg lighting to follow the sun.
