Monday update (that is actually on the top of the page)! Pics-a-poppin' with many before-and-afters, along with a few more hyphens...
Let's start with Saturday when it was time to try something new for the Summer (probably Fall) three. Before doing the transplanting, I needed to rinse the perlite:
That's just a pot wedged in another pot to keep the water flowing.
Then it was on to moving them up to 3 gallon velcro
GeoPots:
Not a big difference in size as you can tell, but I'm looking forward to the pots getting filled with roots quickly.
The Sour G and Chiquita Banana went into a 75/25 soil/perlite mix, and the Jack Herer (per GDB and BigD's suggestions) went into almost straight Kellogg Patio Plus potting soil, with a little bit of perlite thrown in.
All three mixes were blended with 1 tsp/soil gallon of
@DYNOMYCO and 1 tsp/soil gallon of Earth Alive Soil Activator (which, for some reason, gives the mixing instructions at 3.5oz/21 gallons...as if that's some sort of
standard!).
I watered them with an approximately 4g/gallon equivalent, though I went easy on the water for the JH due to the lack of roots. Then I weighed them (utility scale, pardon the dirt)!
The JH, with less water, weighed the most because it's almost 25% more soil/gallon than the others.
On Sunday I topped them all, and here are the post-transplant before-and-after-topping pics:
I just took the very tops of the JH and CB, but the Sour G top was getting planted (along with the two lowest nodes), so I took off about three nodes on that one.
Here are the Sour G cuttings:
I plan on trying to make seeds of the Sour G, so having some clones may come in handy.
Sunday was also time to finally get around to doing the post-stretch thinning on the Spring two, on flip day 27.
Before and after for the Tin Can Kush:
Here's what came off:
One of my supercrop knuckles:
Before and after for the Red Dragon:
Here's what came off:
Now, some of you may be thinking that there's not much difference between the before and after pics given what I removed, but that's because I learned from
@Graytail to remove the flower but not the adjoining fan leaves. The plant needs fans to do the photosynthesis, as well as keep nutrients on hand in case of emergencies.
Here is one example of what I mean:
And here is a clearer example from when I thinned the Durban Poison a few months ago:
Just a helpful hint from your friends at 420magazine!
If you have any questions about why or how I thin pre and post flip, ask away.
Last for the day are some pollen sac pics:
Still not seeing any pollen, but just in case I shake the STS plant over the other two in the tent every morning with the fans off, and then leave them for the day. We'll see!
I hope everyone had a good weekend, a good Father's Day if you celebrated it, and is looking forward to a productive week in and out of your gardens.
I have an "auto" WW x BB that is on day 49, and no sign of flower action yet. I'm seriously thinking it's not, and regretting buying from a place I didn't thoroughly research first. After reading a few journals and looking around here, this not so supreme seed bank has a reputation for messed up orders, iffy genetics, and not great customer service.
. Skip the back reading (unless you're a completionist like some people 
) and just ask questions about anything you want to know. I don't mind answering things more than once. How do you think this got to 1292 pages? 
HAPPY FATHERS DAY
