I am giving both plants a chance to wick some of their excess water into the towels and so they are temporarily off their swicks. This is because I top dosed the one on the left, and the one on the right was flushed a week ago.

I cut up a cloth pot for the swicky pad and strips of absorbent dishcloth for the wicks.

I have an upturned Bato pot with a cake cooler balanced on the base and covered by a network of wicks and a wicky pad.

I have removed the first node. I am gently splaying the branches at node 2, and have splayed the branches at node three in line with the supporting fan leaves. They are secured with pipe cleaners. I began by gently bending the little branches outwards as soon as they had the length.

9 Days above ground. Looking strong. Swicking.

Vegging nicely at 25 days. Swicking.
