The babies are still looking healthy. The machine elves is definitely the beast of the bunch. I'm really hoping that turns out female. Still havent started training these yet. I'm thinking theyll be ready to top in the next week or 2. At that point I'll take some clones with the tops and do some basic LST. all I did this week was give the babies some water with food and compost tea. Every 2 days I mist the soil and foliage with dechlorinated water, faa, ohn, lab and sea water. Before I watered in the tea I topped with mykos, cover crop and some cocoa shell mulch. I'm a big fan of the cocoa shells. They smell amazing everytime i water the plants and from my research I found d that they actually have npk and some micros. Idk a ton about all that yet, but it definitely cant hurt having my mulch serve another purpose. Organic, or better yet, natural farming is all about the things you use serving multiple purposes. At least that's what I hear the people on youtube saying lol.
I'm excited to start learn about sexing plants soon as well. My first, and only, grow was from clones so I took the easy route. I tried my best to choose seeds based on the "volcano" looking tip. I found the videos on YouTube showing how to pick females based on the look of your seeds. Still have no idea if this is a myth or if theres and real research behind this. I'm hoping for 2 females. Then I'll take a clone of each and hope to harvest them about 4 weeks after these. I wasnt planning the perpetual grow when i started so I'm catching up now, but itll be smooth after I get a couple female clones to root. Got some foop waiting and I'm really debating on grabbing a aeroponic cloner. Was just gonna use soil but not sure. I think I'd rather save the money and grab some hash bags and a diy rosin press. They have some nice build on reddit if you look around. Pretty much come as a kit and just need assembly. I'm dreaming of those full melt hash rosin dab hits.
