...though catching up on my logging late as usual*

Basically, at this point, I'm just trying to be patient, and wake the little girls up. They're showing some signs of new rooting, but are still kinda getting over initial transplant shock, tho they're freaking greeeeen. Nicely freaking greeeeeeeee. n. Had to take some cuttings (just lower growth at this point), but without the benefit of rooting gel. Just hoped for the best, and got 'em in some rockwool under a BBQ chicken take-out container from the grocery store I shop at.


_____________________
First cuttings...


Number 12 Seedling is still growing slowly, but really really likes being close to the two 45w 4100k CFLs that are right underneath a huge Stainless Steel mixing bowl (SSmb hereafter). The plant is practically leaping out of its container, and its fan leaves are sticking up at a 45-60 degree angle... kinda like it's seeing the 'sun' from 'everywhere or something...


_______________________________
Lookit' the angle o' those /blades/...


Number 13 Seedlet was stretching a bit, and showing a nice little rootlet on the outside of its' rockwool cube, so it got replanted into a dual 500ml container just like its siblings 9-12.

Mmmm... where did this nice dirt come from..?

The reason for the leaping...


Still using DNFgroA/B at 2.5ml/l, as well as VB at same concentration. Bugs seem to be under control, tho the 'quarantined' ones seem to still be generating 'em. Not sure if the VB is doing anything to the fruit flies, but my MH light sure is

Mmmm, I love the nightlife... I like to boogie...


I'm enjoying variations on LST training here, both with using common household items (shoelaces, conference tag 'straps', string, duct tape) to do tiedowns/training, as well as the simple expedient of re-orienting the plant in a non-vertical manner, and rotating it constantly throughout the day, so that the 'sun' just gets /in/ there to whatever angle I need.

LST for kiddies...


Muah. Hah. Hah. Happy little plants, even though they may be a bit 'confused' as to which way is 'up' :weedpoke:

The little seedlinglets (9, 10, 11) still in the round pots get radical re-orientations every day. The larger sisteren can be tilted about 15-20degrees off vertical with the pots they're in and the aluminum pie plates they're resting on. Plants with bugz are basically getting the 'best' orientation I can give 'em, and without, the most 'radical' placement I can get away with...

It's getting away!!!

Howdy!


1-8 are drinking about ½ga every other day, but I basically water when I see they need it. They will usually tell me with a 'WHOOSH' growth spurt right as they drain their soil... 9-11 are getting misted as needed, with the occasional 'soak' watering. 12 is still in SeedCloneLing Land, but hanging in there and doing well... (see above pic)
