Cock a Doodle Doo on with week 2.
Transplanted the chosen 6. The fabric pots I ordered did not come in in time soo, plan B, Planted the girls in FF Ocean Forest and will not feed until transplant shock is complete. Root structure was nicely developed on the 3 larger girls and not bad on the other 3. I will top once they take a hold.
All 12 clones survived the cutting, the other 6 will be Mommies. I am kind of sprized they all made it as ratty azz as they looked to start from the dumb jr woodchuck watering boo boo. We shall see how they do.
1-8 Update
Well they looked so ding dang dog gone good I decided to top/fim them and give them a full over the bucket warm water soaking. I have the ts1000 on 100% and should soon have a new light for bloom. They are doing nicely and will set the timer to 20/4 same as I have for the new Autos. Trying to perfect the "Fim" topping. If I do it correctly I can get 2-4 branches per cut/top, if I do a dumb jr woodchuck cut and miss the cut and go to far up all I get is a set of trimmed fan leaves and a long stock, lol lol. If I hit any of the cuts I will get some better pics.
1-10 Update
All 6 girls are responding to the topping/fim and a couple are ready for some Rooster LST. I will be moving these girls to new house or move the Mommy Gelato cuz these girls are going to need some room. Decided to do a lil LST as I had the time and the girls looked pretty much ready. First real go around with LST. Pretty much the same theory as Defoliation, which I have used for a few years.
1-11 Update
Decided to give the girls a lil feeding seen as though they responded so well to the top/fim lst and they are 23 days since cutting was made. I usually feed on Sunday or Monday and then give a good mid week watering when they are big enough to have a mid week drink. I have used House and Gardens nutes for about 5 years and have yet to have them fail me, lol. I have failed me, lol. I have never had an issue at all with their nutes, plants clearly reflect this.
1-12 Update
Responding nicely to the nutes and lst work. Going to let them do their thing and just adjust lst for the next few days. Rock on
1-13 Update
Girls looked so ding dang dong gone good after the House and Gardens feeding that they needed a lil more lst, and topping/fimming. They respond very well to the lst I did a lil defoliate to get more light in the center. Rock on
@LokaGass, Thanks. It has been a fun batch to grow. super easy, a new fave for sure. Can't wait to see what outdoor does. Clones super easy. Keep your Rock LOUD
Hi, thanks. Trying to figure out how to navigate around here, lol. Watching your grow as well, very nice looking. These starts were made 12-19. Cloned easy, made 12 from a scraggly Mommy and they all made it and seem to be taking roots nice. Not sure the Phenotype as CC sent 2 different seed types 5 of each pretty much. Grew totally different and buds were totally different. Both very good and maybe I like the unknown one better. lol. Rock on
@DoDrugs420, Wow, super kind words. If only part of that comes to Fruition, mission accomplished. Gelato is a wonderful strain.
Make sure you
TURN
IT
up
they love it.
@Omahoney_Canna_Thusiast, Yep, not something you see everyday, lol, just every Winter around here. I took a pic of some reverse LST, as they moved sideways and melted little cycles formed looking like branches in reverse. I will post it. Rock on. Spring is coming the outdoor Gelato starts are getting ready.
@TastyBudzz, Hey, she performed great and is pulling out of my jr woodchcuk water/feed mess up. Her Daughters are simply gorgeous. Going to make some more starts from her for early May planting. Rock on
