Tonight was a real circle of life theme
Big Bertha is the biggest plant in late veg, so I took two clones and started them in the clone dome.
Extra leaves went into the worm bins.
I took four clones out of the clone dome and put them in one gallon pots with fresh mixed soil.
Leilani was a boy, so I trimmed the leaves into the worm bins. Trimmed trunk sent outside into the ferns. Roots stayed in the soil.
Bellatrix, a white widow clone, was planted in the freshly emptied pot.
Worms and worm poop were moved from the worm bin onto the top layer of the pot.
late veg--> clone dome -> early veg
leaves ->worm bins
early veg+flower pot+worms--> late veg (....>flower...> worm bins + early veg-->late veg... )
The perpetual flow is beginning ....
Late Veg. The little plants are gently shaped and trained
Late Veg. Big Bertha has clones taken and her excess little leaves cleaned up
Flower. Lailani is boy. His time of growing comes to an end.
Lailant at 28" - was the middle sized plant in the flowering room
Trimming leaves off the boy plant
Leaves go into the worm bins
Plant selected from early veg (Front left - White Widow Bellatrix C2 - Finally! a clone headed into late veg)
Dusted the roots with myco powder. The stump of Lailani is visible below the root ball
White Widow Bellatrix in her new pot .Soil topped with a layer of worm bin extract.
The late veg swick is full again. (Unsexed: three breeder seedlings. Females: Borderline and AK47 seedling, White Widow clone.)
White Widow Bellatrix C2 is a clonal granddaughter of Bellatrix from my first (and only) harvest.
The original Bellatrix went into the flower room last May.
It is a real sense of accomplishment to have one of my clones return from the brink of death into her final pot.
The path to summer harvests is finally open.
