QUICK PIC UPDATE - VEG
Just a quick update on the girls in veg...
The four PE clones in the hempys are all now just starting to show some vertical growth:
Remember, I need to have five clones ready to go in the next round, so, that was a good sign!
You can also see the Lucy top that we're trying to clone in the bottom center. No roots showing yet, but again, she was a short clone so I expect it to take a little longer before I start seeing them and she's looking good.
Here's Lucy's four colas growing out nicely from the UBT:
And, I'm really loving how the Power Skunk is looking with her six tops and wide canopy. This could be a great way to train future bonsais due to the sheer number of growing tops I'm getting:
The PE clone has had some other points LST'd for her bonsai training and is now showing 4-5 tops:
On the TK side, temps have been MUCH better since moving to the cab. I only have the one PE clone and two PS clones in there now:
BOTH PS clones are starting to show some roots, but most developing under the neoprene inserts, again, probably because the clones were so short there was very little stem exposed below the collars.
On this one, you can just see the roots starting to poke out of the bottom of the insert:
But, the other PS has some very notable roots, and they all look nice & white;
So, now I'm VERY confident I'll have all five clones for the next round which will go into flower a week from this Friday or Saturday, or so.
Ideally, the Lucy top will clone and I'll have two PS and a Lucy included in the next five.
I've actually evolved a little on my thinking, which some of you may have picked up on. At first, I was in a big rush to get as many clones taken as quickly as possible, trying to get 12 in on the first round, panicking on the wilting clones, etc.
This was partly because I wanted to make sure I was able to get started in time, but also because I wanted the tent as full as possible, as quickly as posible. Since it costs the same to run the tent full as it does empty, I just didn't want to waste any space.
I now beleive that this was a "mistake" on my part.
The "name of the game" here is consistancy. Rather than "scramling" trying to get as many clones in as quickly as possible, I just need to make sure I can get my 6 healthy clones every 15 days or so.
This will make it much easier to track where plants are in their cycles/nutes and the tent will fill up soon enough.
Then, when the Bonsais get more developed, I can start taking 12 clones at-a-time every month (instead of every two weeks) and cut down on some of the work invovled.
Happy Harvests!

<= me laughing so I don't cry from all the time wasted on this today!!!
