i had a slight change of plans for my little clones. I'll just say they live........for now. the other plants went peacefully. the reservoir was full of roots and then some, (possible reason for crazy stretch). the deceased plants were still developing shoots like crazy, couldve taken some clones, but i didnt. the little clones came from an actual mother plant that i had. I'll problaly start some seeds when i feel like it, just to find a suitable female, for cloning purposes. I want her to be vigorous and branchy and low maintenance. I've got my cloning technique down purty good, now to get my finishing technique just as good. like the title says, I couldnt let it go entirely. The roots on the clones hadnt started poking through the plastic basket yet so i saw it as a chance to move them into something that wont allow it to develop as big a root system, like 20 oz. water bottles with the tops cut off and a bunch of holes poked in the bottom, I put a mix of perlite and peatmoss with a lttle soil, for micronutes, in the bottles and placed the coco cups in the bottles, roots were starting to poke out the bottom of the coco cups. When the roots fully engulf the bottles the only way to sustain them would be to constantly supply oxygen to them with an air wand, which is running 24/7. I'll keep ya'll posted on their progress. No pics for awhile, I'm feeling superstitious. Ha!
