Una Ballena Azul Tomando Sol en mi Patio

LocoT I will start this diary with a cutting from a Moby-D from BSF. This is quite a unique cutting as it happened by chance; the mother plant broke at the tip, and I had to make a diagonal cut with disinfected scissors to finish cutting it. This tip was already about 4 to 5 centimeters tall, so I immediately put it in a glass of water. After feeling sad because I broke a nice apical, I thought about coating the cutting in a bit of aloe vera and transferring it to a 0.5-liter plastic cup, in Light mix substrate from Biobizz. But I mixed the substrate with perlite to try to retain more moisture. Once the cutting was ready in its propagation medium, I left it in complete darkness for 24 hours before giving it 4 weeks of light from a dim (30w) (14 light / 10 dark). October 23: I added wheat mulch to the pot.

LocoT On October 29, organic pesticide was applied foliarly. On November 1, watering with water.

LocoT This week, only water and potassium soap with neem oil was applied for the pests.

LocoT I applied organic algae fertilizers again. Also, I cleaned the leaves since there are a lot of insects.

LocoT Nov 25 - I applied preventive neem oil. This year 2020 has been really tough in terms of pests, I've already found about 4 pests. That's why I've had to apply preventive potassium soap and neem oil practically every week. Nov 28: watering only with water.

LocoT Dec 3: this beautiful Moby clone has already entered flowering, it has a lot of hairs at the tips, so this week I started applying flowering and fattening fertilizer in low doses.

LocoT Our beautiful cutting was heavily attacked by spider mites and other tiny bugs, so I had to apply a strong pesticide from anasac.
