Sweet Shed! A new baby! I saw you are adding wood ash for your K prob. Be careful as I JUST read in the bible that wood ash is easy to over-apply and has a PH of 9-11 depending on what wood it is and where the wood came from. Just be sure no trash was burned with it. Happy Saturday all!

First, a request...just click Reply, DON'T Reply With Quote. Pic dump coming and they don't need to be repeated because it makes finding new comments really hard!
Yesterday (Saturday) was cannabis day all the way. I chopped, washed, rinsed, trimmed, and hung Blue 4 and AK 7 (other journal); planted Sour G photo; and started the topical oil process (other journal...still cooking).
Here's the update!
I woke up yesterday morning and found this:
Growing out of this:
Which meant it was transplant day on top of harvest and oil day!
I don't have any clear Solo cups, so I took an idea from Flytier and modded a Solo cup with holes and screening! I cut four rectangular holes at the bottom sides of the cup and put window screen in it. This way I'll know when the roots make it down to the bottom and there will be good drainage as well.
Here is everything getting ready for the planting:
I snipped the mesh on the peat pot so I could peel it away before putting it into the soil, as I have seen pics of roots that never manage to break through. Like I always do, I slowly slid the mesh over the tap root at the bottom.
But things went sideways at that point and the end of the tap root did not do the slide thing and decided to break off instead!
Not to be dissuaded I planted it anyway to see what would happen. If it lived, it would have 6 months of veg to develop a healthy root system in spite of this early mishap. If not there are other seeds waiting to take its place. I know that Rooster has recommended rock wool over peat and this is yet another reason why it's better! Since I have peat pucks, in the future I will cut the bottom open before I put the seed in
.
Here is Sour G planted on day 3:
It was sunny and warm yesterday and I had to keep rotating the cup to keep it growing straight since the sun is low in the sky, and then it went into the now-spacious oval of brightness® for the night with the clones:
This morning on day 4 it looked fine so it's back out in the sun and I've been rotating it every hour or so.
And just so Sour G doesn't steal the limelight, here is Gold Leaf:
Here is AK-47. The wood ash hasn't done any damage yet but what I'll do before I water with regular nutes is scrape the top layer of soil off to remove any remaining ash.
If you have time or interest, check out the harvest and topical oil post over on the auto journal. Have a great Sunday all!

What was I nominated for? Worse cloner of the month?
Wait what? I was nominated for MOTM? Holy cow! I appreciate whoever put my name up there with those incredible contributors
It's not for cotm... sorry . You still have some work until we can give you that award .What was I nominated for? Worse cloner of the month?

No no, not COTM, WCOTM! I should be up for that for sure.
Anyway, whoever put my name in, I'm glad you find me helpful
The Sour G with the broken tap root is still growing, and getting a bit spindly as well. I may have to give it some support. I don't know if it's stretching to the light but I can put it on something in the shed to get it closer to the Mars. During the day however, I can't get it significantly closer to the Mars or the Sun.
Hope your Monday goes well. Happy Martin Luther King Jr holiday all!

I decided to water the AK-47 today, so I scraped off what wood ash I could from the top of the soil before I watered. The runoff was +600 PPM from the input water! That's no good, so I flushed it until I got the runoff to about +150 PPM over the hose water.
At that point, I mixed up another gallon with:
3 ml cal/mag+
1 tsp Grow Big
Nute PPM was 300 at 6.7 pH, and runoff was -70 PPM at 6.4 pH.
Better! Let's see if that solves the K issue.
I'll be pruning again later this week, so fear not Rooster! We will be asserting our will over this plant.

I always start seedlings in straight soil in a solo cup so I can avoid that first stressful transplant. And I start them pretty deep. Give the tap root a nice solid pas to hit and branch to the sides and it the added soil the stem has to penetrate give it much more stability. Give it a shot on the next one. Also when I poke holes in the cup on seedlings I make very small holes and few of them. Ones the seedling as broken the soil I add a couple more for better drainage.
I've lost one seed in the past year and I believe that seed to be the la confidential or the mystery seed as I know it right now that miraculously sprouted from the soil of the nuke. when it didn't pop I put the dirt back into my reserve and months later low and behold I had a mystery pop up. Lol so it could be 100% results if you look at it like that lol

You're getting credit for that mystery seed because it came up! 100% it is.
Peat pucks neatly fit in my shoebox of light (and warmth) and I've had good luck with them in the past. No bottoms on them going forward though. I'll try straight into solo cup when it's warmer in the house...with just soil (no added perlite) in the top third and a looser mix toward the bottom. And more holes.

I usually start my seeds in a solo cup full of coco. I can transfer to dwc or up pot to coco.

I'm in a house that barely breaks 65° during the winter and without room for a germination station. That leaves me with the shoebox on the desk with a warming mat under it and a CFL desk lamp sealing up the hole in the top to keep the heat in. I could try building one with the box standing on end for the next seed and see if that works! Only one seed at a time then though. I can do 4 in peat.
I'll check the closet for an unused shoebox! No coco though. I'm a soil guy.

Yeah, transplanting that Gold Leaf was the best thing for it! Check it out today with all the new growth:
Here's Sour G on day 6, with a straw to support that skinny little stem:
And here is AK-47...going to get a haircut very soon:
Once again, showing that it's a she (this plant is 3rd generation...2nd generation clone):
Happy Tuesday one and all!
