I haven't tried with lavender yet but I might this spring. I have regular and ghost lavender (planted a few months ago so no flowers yet) in the garden so I'll do both! And I think the key for me to get it to work is keeping it on the heat mat. Nothing happened when the perlite was room temps, which in my house are in the low to mid-60s most of the year.

Wow that Ghost Lavender is something to look forward to. So pretty. Thought I'd come and hang out a bit and run away from the world. Lots of sharin' and carin' goin' on in this neck of the woods. I'll be interested to know how long it takes you to get that lavender going. Mine rooted in a few weeks in Spring temps but it has taken the entire summer for them to grow beyond cutting stage and fatten / branch out. One has been close to death the entire time but is fractionally growing in height and hanging onto some green.

P.S. There is something truly marvelous about a revegging plant imo.... love em for that!

I love the work ethic here. The schlepping not so much but it does make for some beautiful plants.

Now I’m ready for you to graft the Chiquita banana to that lemon tree. o_O

Great idea! Ten bucks says Shed makes is happen.

Thank you Carmen! The lavender I started in the cloninator way back in summer of 2018 did okay in a 1 gallon clay pot in the backyard for two years, and blew up when my wife transplanted it into a tall concrete pot about 15 gallons or so (I'll get a pic tomorrow). They seem to be really slow starters, but then boom!

Thanks sb! A thermostat is such a necessity with heat mats that I think they should be sold together. Otherwise they just blast the heat to 20º over ambient. :eek:

LOL thanks Nev.

I don't think I'm going to give the inter-species grafting a try, if only because @NaturalSpirit tried that with a willow-to-cannabis graft (even bought a cool graft-making tool) in controlled conditions, but it never managed to take. You can read all about that adventure here:

High eveyone! Its grafting time:cheer: Some of you remember my tought about one stem, different strains. After launching my idea, there happens to be more people that have done this. I'm thrilled to dive in deep and see where we end up like. My grow space is small. The veg box beeing the...

That's a thing? Inter-species grafting? That's crazy, I didn't even know it was possible.

Not sure it is with cannabis, though maybe with a close relative like hops. It has been done here where one cannabis plant had a few different varieties growing on it though. If I have time later I'll dig that up!

Consider it dug!

Weaselcracker did it with 4 and entered it into POTM a while back.

Nice update Shed!

Let's lead off by saying goodbye to the 1 gallon revegging Sour G that I topped and root pruned a couple of weeks ago. I did want to show you that it suffered no damage and was putting out all new green growth:

That is quite amazing seeing it re-veg, something I have never tried (but post harvest whole plant drying doesn't help). I wonder how it would go if left to re-veg for the following Spring/Summer, after all it would already have the roots to build upon if they stayed healthy.

Thanks Stunger! That was a reveg that I moved back to 24/0 after about 3 weeks of flower when I didn't get pollen from the STS sprayed plant, and it still didn't look like a normal plant after almost 3 months of reveg. That said, if you had a spot to keep one at 24/0 while you waited for the next growing season you could leave a lot of veg on it and give it a shot!

Of course, it would probably take up the entire balcony on its own next summer! :eek:

And for anyone looking for indoor revegging instructions, @Van Stank wrote them up here.

Specking of the heating matt was wondering if you could use a splitter to run two matts of one controller ?

And folks say it doesn't get cold in Los Angeles! @Krissi1982 would have been out in shorts and a tank top.

43.9 in LA is like 78.5 here in NJ. I'd be riding those gnarly waves then come out and soak in that CA sun in my

shirt with the sleeves cut off and some linen shorts-dusts off the sand easier- Might as well be the 4th of July for this girl :rofl:

Mayne @Nev would could you two thin blooded souls up some nice hot gumbo and you can watch me surf in your parkas and long johns :surf:

do they sell long johns in LA or would you have to drive up to the ski resorts to pick one up? I'm sure all of Amazon and other delivery traffic stopped because of the deep freeze

Doug's Varin Tuesday update! I took the pics in the tent because it's easier to see without the high contrast of the sunlight. Even so, I turned the flash on for the closeups.
