Re: The Bid 2.0 Grow -400W HPS - Blue Planet -Hempy-Coco-WW-Diamond Girl-Multiple Pur
Coco will be fine for a mother plant, she will need to grow so you can take cutting. My mothers are in soil because it's what I had left over, they grow just fine in soil.
You got it almost right. You stated that you did not want growth to be too fast. At the bottom of the pic I stated that this one stayed hydro because I wanted faster growth for my flower box.
Soil is very easy to prune the roots to keep it small, just shave 1/2" off each side and off the bottom twice a year, and repack in the same container right on the bare bottom then tightly pack soil around and on top. You'll be looking to root bind it between root prunes. This also makes the arboreal training very easy as the plant will be very firmly placed.
So that's my vote... Soil for Bonsai. . . . But I'm biased toward bonsai because it's another hobby of mine.
i was leaning towards soil for slower growth, as i dont need a whole lot of clones however upon thinking i decided to stay in coco the maroc is a fem seed so i put her in a 3liter hempy, i decided to stay in coco for a few reasons
1. mixing all kinds off different nute solutions with different ph's makes for more work and possibility for mistakes , i can just dilute down the veg solution for moms easy
2.flushing in coco is cake,and it does not compact and break down like soil
3.im so used to coco it seems easier than soil to me,i have plenty of it on hand,and only 1 small bag of ocean Forrest
4. the seedlings are in coco already and loving it! i dont wanna stress them buy changing up on them
5. i can always switch to soil later if i want
i like your plan jandre and if i had more ffof and any nice pots i would do it
but i figure if they are growing to fast i can feed less and im sure thers plenty of ppl that wouldn't mind some free purple clones i can think of 3 right off!
so i repotted this morning and took a few pics
these baby's are taking off the roots were insane! after only a month since germ i was floored i never saw any thing like this in soil not in a month, maybe 2 months lol this is one reason i love coco!
these pics are from yesterday and today, now that they are in the hempys im expecting mass x-plod-in growth they are done with the lil' box and will be moving to the new spot tonight they sure have green'd up now! enjoy the new pics i know i love looking at them, oh i forgot to mention ,check out the node spacing thats what my lil' diy cfl array does its great for up to 2x2x2 box im wondering what it could do if i switched out the 23 watter to the larger 42watt cfl's would do,hmmm
Plants are looking really good!! What you gonna make with your butter??
the plan is chocolate chip cookies if i ever get to it, been so busy with the plants lately lol but u know i'll post on it when i do
ok heres the pics scope these roots!! actually the maroc was more intense but i didnt think about the camera till the last one!!
