How about a transplanting/clone splitting update of a Thursday? Most of these pics are from this past weekend, though some are from a few weeks back. Let's dive in...
First up, I transplanted the tops of the Amnesia Lemon Kush and Le Creme CBG back on March 24th since they were really bursting out of their solo cups (cut on Dec 26th). Here's the ALK:
The roots (scored):
The result:
Here's the LeC:
Roots (scored after the pic):
Results:
I don't add any mycorrhizae when I upcan mother plants since encouraging root growth is the last thing I want to do!
Next up is the clone splitting I did last weekend on the Candidas and the second set of LeC cuttings. Here are the Candidas 2-to-a-cup (cut Jan 1, 2023):
I shake, bang, knock, and wiggle, and then I start to work on the actual plants. With enough cajoling, they come apart without significant damage:
I picked two to replant back in the cups (I only need one for the new mother) and tossed the other two:
After that I moved on to the 3-in-a-cup LeCs:
Did the same thing:
And kept one that I forgot to get a pic of because I wanted to replant the LeC that was in the SWICK:
It had a layer of perlite at the bottom and an overflow hole 1" up, and it needed water 2x/day. Ain't nobody got time for that!
Here are the roots with the perlite shaken off:
And I smooshed the roots down and packed it into fresh soil to the bottom:
All done:
I don't actually need either of those last two LeC clones since I have the top in the 1 gallon, so I'll probably toss those when they need to be upcanned. The SWICK one was an experiment (successful, thanks @Azimuth!) so it will be interesting to see how it transitions to all soil, and the other I did just because I like clone splitting.
That's it for me! I hope your weather is spring-like and the snow is melting and your spirits are lifting like warm air rising to meet the cooler air above causing your own mini-tornado of fun.
