The Gee Spot - You Finally Found It

[Gee64]

So I dug in.

1/2 inch under the surface was alot of feather duster roots.

A slab.

and a second slab.

And a third.

The bottom was a mat.

 

[Gee64]

All the roots are stiffly pointed in the direction they were growing.

 

[Gee64]

All washed up.

Ok, phew. For a minute there I thought you were on to something new. "Gee's How To Grow A Great Plant Without Roots." Story at 11...

In the pot it was an extremely solid rootball filling every speck of the 10gal pot.

 

[Gee64]

So theres a hidden easter egg in there... anyone see it?

Yes, just didn't want to say anything thinking it might be too forward. But, your nails look fantastic!

In that last picture, what is that "shoot" looking thing coming up from the bottom of the main root stem? Kind of looks like a raspberry sucker. Now  that would be a cool way to propagate this plant...

 

[Gee64]

lol Well I DO try.

When I planted this seed I planted 2 in case 1 didn't pop. They both sprouted but the one I kept was dominant. As soon as I saw the dominant one was female I culled the runt. This is the runt's stump. It looks like the big one twisted its tip up to gain an advantage, or maybe not, but interesting.

very close sorta

 

[Gee64]

I wonder what else goes on down there?

 

[Gee64]

So I show this to my wife all surprised and excited.

She says "Well it says right on the pack you should space 'em"

 

[Gee64]

Look how a root hooks it, then another root hooks that one to help, but it leaves a gap on the left side of the rootball, so a root on the layer above heads down to its spot.

Like an WWF death match?

I think you might be reading too much into this. Put the bong down, and step away slowly...

Well there is that too...

Nice tuber looking shoot coming off it.

Today is Day 28 on the 12/12 sproutlings and we now have 3 boys and 3 girls, and only The Mutant hasn't revealed.

28 days in cups and a bit too wet the whole time but they made it. You could still uppot any of these and have a really successful grow.

So I am preparing for flower now. Here's the 4 I will go with, unless the mutant is a boy.

The 10gal clone. Planted Feb15. 12 days in soil.

These two planted in 1.66gals Feb 19. 8 days old.

The Mutant on day 28 since sprouting.

All are in perlite swick beds.

 

[Azimuth]

The Mutant hasn't revealed himself yet?

 

[Gee64]

NOT FUNNY AZI!!! NOT FUNNY!!

Its day 13 in soil for this Gal in the 10gal. Her leaves have been tucked to get the branches coming out. She gets a quarter rotation daily now as well.

Her 2 younger twin sisters are 9 days in soil and they have both linked well in the 1.6gals. A nitrogen rush on day 1 then no problems at all.

All 3 started growing immediately. Bottom watering seems the perfect wetness for clone transplanting.

The Mutant on Day 29. Still no sex showing but like the clones, uppotting a solo to a 7gal bottom watered pot was 100% stress free.
