Yeah, congrats Jon.

BTW, I have patented "Treadmark Fruit Salad" so don't any of you try to use it any time soon. (And, no, I'm not a sore loser.)

Well that makes three names I am aware of coined by others, be it plants or a strain, cuz @Azimuth named Elora and @Emilya named Fulvia. Wish I knew what you know, great job with the contest, that didn't make itself, and the effort is greatly appreciated. Seems everyone had a lot of fun with it!! I think it's a ton of fun to have the group decide your name for you.

No shenanigans here friend. Trademark Fruit Salad is where it's at anyway.

I wasn't sure to be honest to begin with, but everyone was so nice and flexible and understanding. It could only be for fun and it was! I had a blast getting it done, it was no work at all on my part.
The moderator picked up the ball and ran fast and far with it, that was where all the work came in!

Did you see that Amy voted?

Did you see that Amy voted?

Huh. Didn't even know you could see who voted.

I learn something new every day. I guess I can go home now.

I was about to bring that up! She voted for my presentation ! I think we all know what that means huh Jon?

What, wait, I thought this is home! Where are we?

FINAL POT UP AND RE TENTING UPDATE

Hi all, these ladies were pretty done with their 3 gallon pots after two weeks so up to the penthouse suite they go. It appeared to me they were stalled for a couple of days so I looked at roots and found plenty. I even remembered to root prune one of the Zkittlez'z so we can maybe see a difference. Not clones so it's not a real fair look. Let's call it a gaze.
Here's how the day went.
I got my alleged all fixed soil open to mix 7 gallon batches one at a time.
A dose of @DYNOMYCO gets mixed in

Then a @GeoPot gets dampened with water and sprinkled with a mix for flowering and some small piles of ground oyster shell.

Everyone got a haircut. Kosher Kush was funny. She went alternating nodes very early so I won't have two tops to train out with her. That's ok

But with the good comes the not so today. I wasn't able to take care enough of my summer grow and they all perished. I'm a horrible multi tasker. Now the 4 ladies of the main event are safe in the 4 x 4 I should be ok to start another bunch in the 3 x 3.

Oh hehe, yes I did root prune one Zkittlez. I got overwhelmed with the task at hand and forgot to snap a pic. Sorry. It had roots similar to the one in the earlier pic and I sliced every 3 inches from the bottom to about halfway up a quarter inch deep. I didn't like doing it. I peppered it good with some myko after I sprayed it down with water

Candida's in 1 gallon pots getting happier by the minute!

WEEEEEEE!

WEEEEEEE!

Damn, you are having fun now! So thanks, you just gave me yet another "DUH" moment. You wet the ROOTS and sprinkle the myco ON THE ROOTS! I've been wetting the hole and tossing it by hand against the side of the prepped hole in the new pot like a total moron! Good lord is that an obvious one to miss!! LOOOOOOOL!

So the root pruning comes with stress eh? That's what I thought. It feels daunting. But as I see how incredibly difficult it is to push even my little bamboo support pieces into the five gallon pot now, I keep thinking wow, this plant probably could have benefitted from a little root trim. Hmmm.....

Thanks for sharing your soil methodology and ingredients in great detail. Rock on my man.

Nice job with the transplants Otter! They look happy to have the space and I think you will hardly notice the pause on the root-pruned plant. Beauties all.

You could grow one of the Candidas outside if they're coming along nicely now.

Are you still thinking about filling the 3x3 with one of them?

I forgot to mention I used the water the inner root ball more method until roots actually make their way to the new soil. Like you mentioned last week. Dang !

Did the candida have a 63 day to flower or less from the originator do you know? If so maybe.

They both seem to be getting strong. But like I mentioned earlier I've been unable to watch them as I'd like. I can see them at least now and get on a regular water schedule. When I get too many plants in one tent they suffer. Yeah, that's it . I'm going to give a good look now and have a think. If one looks strong yes for the 3 x 3

Yes! Mine anyway.

 

[StoneOtter]

Yes! Mine anyway.

Hmmmmm maybe outside is the way to go if one shows me it wants to. One may. That opens the 3 x 3 for a hot weather sativa. I have an African I want to grow one day and it needs to be warm here. Now would be a good time. The Neville's Haze is running low.

That one I just picked up from Shed last week myself! It was a DUH moment for me too! An Amy Gardner original I believe. I think the stress is all me. More time with exposed roots in front of me should calm me down. I don't go for watching medical or 911 type programming either.

@StoneOtter - Seems you guys speak of this Amy Gardner with reverence, this is like the 20th positive reference I've heard about her lately, and everyone seems to hold this Amy in very high regard. I will have to check this girl out....would you happen to have a suggestion of a good place to start with her?

 

[HashGirl]

@Jon - Amy is currently away on medical leave. Her most recent journal is here and her off-topic thread is here.

Thank you so much, @HashGirl!

Indeed it is! This from 2018:

I forgot about that mycos not sticking to the dry rootball thing. Last time, I gave my rootball a very light mist with plain water so the powder would stick. It worked well.

Like a boss!

HAPPY DAZE ARE HERE AGAIN UPDATE!

Hi all, I was @Trala Big Smiling this morning when I opened up the tent! I was so disappointed they weren't moving forward yesterday before the pot up and to see them dance today... I was blown away! I think today is day 50, I'll have to check. The Candida duo is also liking the digs!


First Zkittlez is the pruned roots one.

I think keeping the first water mostly on the original root ball helped. Second water will be probably in a few days. I'll have to decide where that one goes. Probably the centerish again, then back to watering the perimeter. As I do.

No mag def on the Candida's is a good sign! I Thought I gave up troubleshooting when I retired!
