I made this diary just because I want to have a overview of my plants. I will not post a lot of updates or pictures. In any case I will grow 4 plants, all cuttings from the same mother. Right now they receive the same nutrition so thy can root. I think I will let them grow another week or 2 before I will start changing my feeding plan for every single plant and compare to each other
Day 7:
My ladies (brown pot) grow really good, beside one in the left corner. That's why I will let them still grow for a few days before topping. The shorter plant will get the same feeding as on week 1.
Day 9: 3 ladies did grow from about 7.5 to 11cm in two days, so I decided to top all 4 to the same height. Now they are all 6cm tall.
I also changed the feeding schedule:
1/1 = full nutrition
1/2 = half nutrition
Only water
And for the last one I don't have any plan yet. Maybe I'll give her a little bit more nutrition. But for now I'll feed like on week 1.
A friend of mine gave me some clones of his frisian duck (black pot). A other phenotype . Unfortunately they are in preflower and not well rooted, but I think they will make it. One plant is 9cm and the other 7.5cm. The first difference you will hopefully see in the picture is that mine have more of a incut on the leaves. The distance on the internode is shorter on mine but I think that's normal because my friend grow on a windowsill where there is only a few hours of light per day. It will adjust with time. Also my clones will produce purple flowers, my friends green. They are also in 100% soil so I can see the difference between soil and 100%coco.
I also added som pictures from my "mother" plant which is a clone too. I will add som pictures of the real mother after harvest and drying which will be in 2 or 3 weeks.
Day21: They did recover really well after topping. The plant with 1/2 nutrition seems to did best but it's early to say. Black pot plants rooted well now but didn't grow much. The plant I gave water start showing some deficiency. I think it is calcium and potassium deficiency. I will start writing down the height of every plant to have more data to compare so it's not only guessing which did best. Also I decided to give the 4th clone 3/4 nutrition. I have 1 clone left in a small pot and it will stay there just for fun to see if it will grow. This will be my bonsai.
1/1 7.5 cm
3/4 7 cm
1/2 8.5 cm
Water 7.5 cm
Bonsai 3.5 cm
P1 10.5 cm
P2 8.5 cm
Day 25:
I did some topping on all ladies.
1/1 10 cm
3/4 10 cm
1/2 11 cm
Water 9 cm
Bonsai 4 cm
P1 10,5 cm
P2 9 cm
Day 28: there is not much to say for now. The height is almost the same. Some leafs got light burned because they were a little bit wet on plant 1/2 and 3/4.
I did 2 or 3 times top each plant, except "water" plant. All feeded plants look really nice. My favorite is 3/4 because she has the biggest branches and is the busiest. The watered plant is showing some nitrogen deficiency on the bottom leafs and probably some calcium deficiency on the upper leafs.
I will add the height of the plants later on.
Day 35:
1/1 13cm
3/4 14,5cm
1/2 14,5cm
Water 11,5cm
