Lucky last, the Wookiee auto seed, finally got going.
Unfortunately the other one died.
I removed the mesh from the jiffy and settled her into the soil. She'll stay there for the entire grow.

Swiss skunk clones are still standing.

Little Swiss is outside in the sun. I might have overwatered her a bit.

I top dressed Big Swiss with kelp and now it smells like the beach in the tent.

Little swiss got upgraded to a bigger pot today. I also added some 'Native NZ Mycorrhizae and Trichoderma Fungi' to her roots. She's looking a bit sorry at the moment. She got watered with yucca and coconut water.

Lucky got watered around the edge of the pot with yucca and coconut water to keep the soil moist.

Big Swiss got watered with yucca and coconut water.

The Swiss skunk clones are still alive.

Little Lucky was a bit stretched, so I added some more soil, worm castings, and kelp, and heaped it around her stem. I moistened the soil and instantly saw baby worms... pretty cool.
I topped Little Swiss, and I'll top Big Swiss in a few days. I want to clone her top, so I'm waiting for it to get a bit bigger.

Looks like they are off to a great start and the juvenile earth worm is pretty cool too!
A month or so ago I saw a worm in one of my composting/soil production units that looked like a small snake.
It actually scared me a little.
Thanks farmer, I love worms. Did you see the giant worm found by a kid in NZ?

I topped Big Swiss and made another clone from the top.
The first two clones I took are looking pretty sad, yellowish and limp. They might come around.
Little Swiss is looking average, I'm thinking about putting her outside sooner or later.
Lucky is doing well.

It looks like Lucky has found her groove...

Little Swiss is still trying her best...

Big Swiss is really starting to fill out...

The two small clones are looking very sorry for themselves, and the big clone is looking good for now.

So yesterday I noticed a whole lot of tiny little white bugs. They're pretty hard to see in the pics. After some research, I think they might be broad mites. I made a mix of yucca extract, Neem oil and miticide, then I sprayed the crap out of everything, twice yesterday and once again this morning. I'll keep spraying till they're gone.
Besides that, everything else is good. One of the clones has grown roots.

Unfortunately, due to unforseen circumstances, I'm going to be in another part of the country for the next week or so. Since I don't have anyone that can look after the plants for me while I'm gone, I'm going to have to leave them to survive by themselves.
I'm still not fully on top of the bug problem yet, I've been able to knock them back, but I'm worried the population will explode while I'm gone.
I've given all the girls a good soak and I'm hoping that will see them through.
I'll be leaving tomorrow, and I'll spread diatomaceous earth around before I go. Hopefully that will keep the worst of the bugs in check till I get back.
They're in the hands of the canna gods now.
