.... good luck with the old gentleman!....
Thank you! He's doing much better. He went to the veterinarian yesterday and his foot is healing well. He probably won't need grafting. However I did love the vet telling me, after removing the bandage, to put Silver Sulfadiazine cream on it and then keep him from stepping in his own poop, sigh..... Realistically this is impossible so I put a teeny tiny bandage on just the very insole of his foot, maybe 1/4", and will now have to change that every day or two. The tumor was on what would be the palm of his hand. So every time he stretches or moves he can easily tear it open. Since 'tiels have a total blood volume of something like 7 cc (1 1/2 tsp), every drop of blood is precious and therefore the loss has to be avoided.
Looks like the grow is going to continue to be back burnered for another week.
However the plants don't seem to mind. This is the end of the second week since they were flipped to 12/12. They have stretched just shy of one foot in one week it seems. They are drinking almost 2 gallons/day from the reservoir! They look good and smell the same. You can also see these small white 'pompoms' developing at the branch tips! So it appears we are flowering.
The clone I transplanted to Sunshine Mix #4 doesn't look any better or worse so far. After transplanting from the home made cloner to the pot I watered with 25% seedling strength nutrients. I also left the clone under the T5 lights and had hoped by now to have a second air cooled hood but the 'tiels vet bill was my new light. So the clone stays under the T5. Hopefully it won't die.
Anyway thanks for dropping by. I'll see if I can get some pictures up today to show my clones and the girls in flower.
