Thanks Age, and
for the clone!
----------------------------------------------------
Alrighty, here is the non-harvest Monday update! In addition to taking down two big plants, I also did a few other things around the garden, so let's have a gander.
First, a big
to
@Pennywise,
@Dutchman1990, and
@ProfessorFlora for the helpful instructions on keeping a mother plant small (over in Dutch's thread last week). I went ahead and followed their advice on my Peyote Critical 1.1.1 and Berry Bomb 1.3.1 clones in 1 gallon pots.

BeBo:
I have a spare of each if these don't survive all the root chopping.
I also have a bunch of rooted clones in solo cups from June. You've seen that I put more than one cutting per cup to increase my chances of a good one without taking up more room than I have on the heat mat. This is how I separate them. First, I let them get really well rooted. This is two It's It Punch in one cup:
Well-rooted and tangled together:
I let the ProMix get pretty dry and then rotate the root ball while squeezing it in various spots to make the dirt fall out. It takes some patience to do without damaging the roots, but eventually I have two separate plants.
Then I sprinkle mykos on the roots and replant them in their own cups. Be careful when you compact the soil that you allow the stem to go down as you press, otherwise you shear the roots off the lower branch:
Then soak the medium really well with whatever nutes they had been getting. These are on 3g/gallon MegaCrop.
Last for the day...you may remember that I took the drying Bedroom Cookies 2.2 off the stems thinking I would need the drying box for the Berry Bomb. Here are the BC 2.2 buds in the box:
Because of the high RH in my area, I first had to put the little dehuey in the box with them for a few hours.
I am using the
@Derbybud turkey-bag burping method, so I got a large 8lb turkey bag and dumped them all in:
I decide three bags was better!
The bags have settled around 70% now. I open them twice a day for about 30 minutes with the fan on them. If you put a remote control or something similar on the bottom of the opening, the air from the fan blows them open...perfect!
That's it for me today. I've got loads of catching up to do, so apologies in advance for the lag in getting to my sub list. AK-47 harvest update tomorrow.
