Hope you've all had a nice relaxing boxing day. I'm finishing mine with a little Candy Kush and some gardening.
The two Gorilla Glue clones are doing okay. The round pot one is leggy while the other has stayed pretty squat. She's been topped too, ready to become a bonsai mum.
What do we have here? Both the OG Kush cuttings have roots now.
Nothing from the Critical Mass yet but hopefully soon. Don't worry @DonkeyDick I've got those sat in opaque cups now.
The CM & OGK mothers still need that root pruning. I'll take some cuttings soon and see how the new growth comes in on them. Then decide on whether to root prune now or hold off.
Finally here's a shot of GG in the tent for once. She likes to come out to show off usually but was a little shy tonight. Maybe it was the upskirt snap.

How terrific! Congratulations on keeping your keepers, VS! Exciting to see those roots happening isn’t it?!
Everything here has a smudge of green thumbs about it. Nice to see.

She looks great no matter where she is...she sure fills that tent up!

All 40x40cm of it
Worked out nicely.- Thread starter

Grabbed a couple more snaps tonight while I had her out for a feed. On 5.5g MC, 2ml bio silicon and 4ml top-max per gallon. Always adding 1 drop per litre of neutralize to the tap water, which gets rid of the chlorine and chloramine. Approaching 5 weeks on 12/12 now. I'll estimate that at about 4 weeks flowering, so another 4-5 weeks left. Well that's when I'll start monitoring the trichs anyway.

Wow! looking great. That’s with Mega Crop? I’ve been totally underwhelmed with the stuff myself and am super happy to be quitting the stuff.

Yeah with mega crop. I've seen people have had mixed results with it recently, but both times I've used it they've been my best plants. I'd like to try the GeoFlora stuff but can't get it over here.
That’s so weird. My plants have been crappy with it no matter what angles I tried over the last year. Yours are beautiful.
I wonder if I got a bad version, or... what. At this point I’m overjoyed to be switching away from it and finally starting to see nice happy plants again.
I’m going to run a few identical clones in one last mega crop test grow to see if I can learn any last thing, before I toss the whole 10kg bucket in the garbage

That is odd. I think there was a version that people had some issues with. Sure I read something on here. What medium and feed schedule were you using?
I’m using Promix and Sunshine mix - basically the same thing. I mostly max out my heavy feeders in flowering at around 6 gr/gallon. Could that be too much? I’ve tried higher, and lower. Also I’ve tried with and without calmag and with calmag seemed better. Plants have white spots like mild calcium deficiencies all through veg and by flowering show fairly bad calcium (I think) deficiencies. Increasingly bad deficiencies up to the end. Inferior health, appearance, growth rate, smell, and end product 
. What’s to like really?
Even in veg, which generally isn’t rocket science, once I switched away from MC the plants started to glow and grow much faster than I’ve seen them grow all year.

Yeah that doesn't sound like something you'd wanna stick with. I haven't added any calmag but I live in a hard water area. Just added the silica throughout and thought I'd try the top-max in flower. She seems to be loving it. I've got some deficiencies on the bonsai mothers but I think that's because they're root bound. Have too see how the next lot get on with it.

Yeah feeding every watering, with rare exceptions. As I said I’m going to run a few victims with it on different variations of MC, vs other nutrients, and see if they cough up the secrets of the universe.

I'll have to follow along and see what you find out.- Thread starter

Critical Mass bravely volunteered to be the test subject for root pruning. First she had a good haircut. I've stuck one cutting in a pot because I think one of her others has failed. Then cut roughly an inch from the bottom and 3/4 inch from each side of the root ball. Then back in the pot with some fresh soil. Let's see how she responds to that.

Also tonight I've given the OG Kush mum a trim. No root pruning yet. We'll see how the Critical does first. Potted the GG clone into a 2L fabric pot too. These are what the clones will go to the flower tent in.
What are you trying to achieve with the root chopping?

It's supposed to be part of maintenance for bonsai mothers. Apparently done once or twice a year, but I felt this one was starting to suffer from being rootbound so tried it a bit early. We'll see what happens. These are for me to play around learning new techniques.
