Photo dump Saturday! Grey as a drab wool suit here today so everyone is spending the day indoors, except when they need to come out to get manhandled
.
I was going to top Sour G today, but when I went to take it out of the shed I noticed that the leaves were wider than the cup. I said to myself, self I said, "if I top it now I won't be able to transplant it until next weekend because it will need some time to recover." So I thought I'd transplant it today and top it next weekend.
Here is Sour G on day 28 getting a feel for its new home:
I cut the bottom of the solo cup so I could push the whole thing up and out:
The roots were tangled with the screen so I left it attached:
Here it is in the new pot:
I have Mykos and I never remember to use it. I should leave it out by the potting soil instead of in the shed! Oh well...maybe next time
.
Next came the bush, aka AK, which needed another trim. Here is what I took off, and I resisted the urge to save some great cuttings for clones:
Here is the before and after shot:
And a shot from above so you can see how I thinned out the middle. I want some of the middle growth to get taller so I can pick my faves to be the center stems. On the outer stems I trimmed anything growing toward the middle (like pruning a peach tree) and all lower growth:
Last, it was time to top Gold Leaf. Just a small cut off the top:
I watered Sour G with 50% strength and AK-47 with full strength. Gold Leaf will get fed tomorrow because I ran out of nute-water and can't be bothered to mix any today. So many other things to do, like sand the kiln shelves and recoat them. Here are all the plants back in the
Oval of Brightness®.
I hope you are all well and having a warm start to the weekend!
