I can't believe how much the widows have grown, they're so big and bushy and lush! They're coming on pretty well. I top dressed them yesterday with bone meal mixed up in coco, I wanted to add more coco anyway as it seems to have shrunk somehow as it's been completely filled with root growth, so I mixed the bone meal in for an extra phosphorous and calcium boost for flowering since we're using Canna Coco A&B for both veg and flower phases. It was pretty gross, and the dog wouldn't leave me alone, so hopefully the girls will appreciate it! The plant that I used to practise LST on is looking pretty good too, I've got it on a bucket so it's as close to the lights as the others and it's got so many tops on it, it'll be interesting to see how it compares to the others when we harvest. I've just been in and tied it all back down where it had grown out, but the pic is from this morning. Her name is Lester.
The little cheeses are just monsters, I repotted them on Saturday into medium sized square pots out of the little round ones as they were getting a bit root bound but I needed them small enough that they'd still fit comfortably in the veg closet. They're already showing root out the drainage holes. I love those plants! I've FIMmed them and I'm trying to keep the bonsai style one growing how I want it, it's good to practise training them, I figure, and it's just a great plant, lovely shape on it, I've become rather attached. I wanted to keep it as a mother plant to take clones from cos I really didn't want to have to chop her down, I thought I could just keep her forever as a miniature but the other half didn't appreciate the idea. We shall see. I've named them Thelma and Louise, cos they're awesome.
And my clone attempts are doing nothing at all. They're not dying, they're not growing, their leaves aren't yellowing, they just sit there day after day and I still see no sign of roots so no idea what's happening there but I wasn't expecting anything from them anyway. I thought they'd be dead by now.
