I heard you @Buds Buddy & @ReservoirDog that I need to get this girl in her SIP bucket ASAP. Not only that, but she had gone quickly to a one day watering cycle.
So, first thing Saturday morning I put Pebbles in her new/last home. The bucket was already prepared and the soil amended with Geoflora Veg. I pulled out the placeholder, sprayed and coated the rootball with Dynomyco, then put her in her new home. I pressed the sides to make sure they were snug, and then used the soil that was in the placeholder to mound up around the outside. Then I gave her about 500ml of water around the new root-ball to make sure it was well incorporated to the rest of the bucket. She looks a lot bigger in her new home than I thought she would.
One of my favorite tools is my Wyze cameras. Not only can I check on the plants from anywhere, but I can step back and forth in the video any time. That means I can see how she looks compared to 1 hour ago, or 5 hours ago. I can step 30 minutes at a time through the current day to see when she's praying, when she goes limp, and exactly when the next node comes out.
One of the reasons I'm sold on hydro is that I can see on my cameras that hydro never stops moving and growing all through veg. Then I compare that to soil. When my soil plants were on a 3 day watering cycle, I could see them go crazy the day they were watered, slow down the next day, and basically stop moving the last day.
I'm excited moving to the SIP buckets because I'm hoping to see constant activity from this girl. Unfortunately, I haven't seen much so far. Since she went into the SIP bucket on Saturday her growth up top has slowed way down. She's been moving around and praying the whole time, just not much growth up top. I'm assuming there's a lot of root activity going on and next time I use the SIP bucket I'll get her in the bucket earlier.
That said, she had enough of the 5th node up for me to get my scissors on this morning, so off with her head! She'll be ready for some LST soon. Even though the stem for the 'top' was less than 1/4", I dipped it in some clonex gel and put it in a moistened EZ-Gro plug. I doubt it has enough stem to do anything with, but I was starting a new tomato seed and had the dome/heat mat out, so why not? I've never tried to start a cutting this way so I'm giving it a shot.
It wasn't until I was reviewing the pictures for this post that I noticed the pistils! Looking back I don't see any pistils in the shots from Saturday. Is she ready to flower or just showing her sex? Did the stress for the up-pot make a difference? Hey, I got five nodes and got her topped, so she can go crazy for all I care. Let's see what you got Pebbles!!!
