re: Sqwheels' Garden - Bonsai Style
Hi Folks
This weeks update, sorry it's late...Monday was too busy and I was having terrible server trouble last night, I hope it works today.
Since I've been mixing ro/tap the girls are much happier
Aurora Indica... has shown great improvement
she's still got a couple of bad leaves, but overall she looks better
I know these leaves will not improve, but I don't see any new signs of this anywhere
a few bad leaves got plucked, at this point they were just sucking energy away
a closer look at her new growth, you can see she's much healthier than she was 2 weeks ago
opposite end
you can see some nice growth on her branchs in this pic from below
from above, after training
Blueberry Gum...she's still my problem child, this girl just has not been right since she popped. I've taken a couple clones from her, maybe I'll have better luck with them...unless it's genetics. This is her good side
and this is the side that just doesn't seem to grow well, you can see where she spontaneously topped herself when she was only a couple weeks old, and everything on this side seems to wrinkle/twist up and die off, or I pinch it off because it's not growing right, and if you're thinking it's because of light issues...I pull these girls out and rearrange them every other day when watering, so that can't be it.
White Rhino seems to have suffered the least of the three seedlings from any lack of cal/mg
but she is a leggy girl, I don't know what I'll end up doing with her for flower
Northern Lights x Big Bud is growing well, not affected much by cal/mg def, I think she looks healthy. Sorry, only this one pic, and it's not a very good one.
Blue Widow clone is still the smallest of all in the little veg room, but looks healthy. I took pics of my process with this one...here, you can see her reaching for the light, all her branchs curving up
from the other side. You can barely see, I've watered to the point of excess in the dish, I've been letting them sit in this for anywhere from 15-60 minutes, branchs bend a lot easier afterward
I had to find another way to pull the branchs down, the branchs are too long and the pots are too small to continue using bag ties/rubber bands, and sooo many ties get in the way of watering...so, my buddy suggested weights on hanger hooks, but they fall off too easy if bumped, so, I cut some ties in half and shaped them in an "S", this way I can squeeze the ends tight so they won't fall off, seems to be working
after soaking, I tip the pot sideways into a clean dish to catch the runoff for data, checking both ppm/pH
these show her new jewelry...kinda looks like ornaments hanging on a xmas tree
I can see already, I'm gonna have to find some heavier washers so I don't have to use so many. It's been a few days and they seem to be doing the trick...no damage that I can see.
And the latest addition to the garden...Blueberry Gum clone, clipped and put in water 8-3, roots and potted 8-20
you can see, with this cloning method there is no yellowing or wilting of new growth, all of her leaves are still healthy and she's producing 5 fingers even after all the trama...I really like cloning this way, it works every time.
I uploaded almost 50 pics for this update and had so much trouble last night...I'm going to do this in two posts. Bigger veg room up next...
Thanks for looking, hope you enjoy
