Deepees journal

loving that the fem worked out, definitely not quite like the bubba from last year. looking like the irsh type some what - beam-pole. . Remove that lover fan leave to encourage that arm crowth . i think we can move on with some LST this week? GEt some other colas to develop.

last nights work.

It has been almost been a month since i've updated the garden journal and some changes come about (as with all things through time).

Grizzy Purple Auto has since gone and was a fantastic plant for an Auto - as with the 21st june update - she was looking quite yellow and soon after was chopped.

The clones that are left over and are outside with the mothers are 3 times Cookies, 2 times Mut and 1 times Red. All, bar Red, are in 23dia pots, Red in 50dia Purple-bucket.

All Mothers had been in a state of untouched growth until yesterday and today where they were pruned and shaped, all unwanted and none-effective growth removed.Mut has become hungry for nutrients and has since become deficient, Red and Rip and cookies are doing what they do.

This weeks updates will be some micro-updates throughout the day.They will be of height and time lines for the mothers as well the lieutenant-reds progress (pheno1 red clone), as well as some of the cookie clones - of which they are becoming one of my favs within this collection of strains so far(explanation later). so more to come through out this day.
clones
Rip, cookie and red
mut, lieutenant-red and some others i'll talk about later. cau!

The first on the list will be MUT: random bag seed, currently 4m1w1day old. She has become pot bound (along with all others_nothing can be done). one month ago she had several deficiency's -since then grown out of that, always happens when you go away , but since that point has become nutrient hungry. She hold in a 35 diameter pot and is bound.

Her profile todate:

1. Manifold Techniques - x patten: total arm development is at the moment 16 tops.
2. LST Techniques - holding down all side branch growth from manifolded parts.
3. 
   
4. Presenting short/tight/stacked branching, with side branching - slow but expansive on all arms.
   
5. 
6. 
   
7. watered every day, while biobizz alga mic and fish with nitrogen bootser is added on the following day from "plain water" feed.
   
8. once a week to two weeks apart - aleo watering.
9. no prest controls are used - i've tried two and was unimpressed, so no using for the outside or inside ones.

points 7, 8 and 9 are given to ALL in the garden - even the wild flowers - which, are plenty . its a party after all.

For a personal note: I wish I had space as well a bigger pot for her - shame .

Next on the agender Red Cherry Berry.

She is3m2w3days old and looking the part, staking, side branching, healthy big leaves.
According to places like pick n mix the CBD content for this strain is meant to 1.+, looking for to tryig this medicine.

Profile todate:

1. Manifolded
2. LST

4. Presenting great stacking and side branching, resilient to say the least.

7. 1. watered every day, while biobizz alga mic and fish with nitrogen bootser is added on the following day from "plain water" feed.
      
   2. once a week to two weeks apart - aleo watering.
   3. no prest controls are used - i've tried two and was unimpressed, so no using for the outside or inside ones.

Next is Lieutenant-Red: This is a cutting from Red Cherry and is now 7weeks old. unlike the mothers being in 35diameter pots, i decided what i can get out of her from a 50diameter pot.

Profile todate:

1. No training or manipuation by topping.
2. 
3. Great side branching and stack is present
4.

   3. no prest controls are used - i've tried two and was unimpressed, so no using for the outside or inside ones.

A few updates coming up today - including rips bio and the starting off stage three of the developing Gardens phase - flower time

last of the great big contenders will be Rip. She is currently approaching 6months old, planted into a 25 diameter pot.

Profile todate:

1. Manifolded
2. LST

4. production wonderful height

   3. no prest controls are used - i've tried two and was unimpressed, so no using for the outside or inside ones.

over the last week i have placed 5 clones into flower - 2 x Mut & 3 x cookies.

(Note: I do not consider the first 7 days of 12/12 the first 7 days. For me the plants are now in transition. flowering period for me is after the first week from 12/12 - day 8 is for me day 1 - this same thought goes into a seedling as well - first two weeks of seeding is for me nothing to do with the plant in veg stage of growing).

cookie at day 1


Mut at day 1

what i do to clone.

Select a clone.

When it comes to selecting the clones i'm going to keep, it is a matter of how they go about surviving the seperation. i have tried a few methods - from a cloner (seal with dome and non-sealed), rockwool and soil cloning. sometimes i just take a cut and dump it outside and just see what happens.

Pheno hunting:

Since i keep so little amount i don't hunt for a selected keeper. i keep what is worth its valve based on how well it survives and run it through to the end. Example: i take eight and keep two, even if all eight root and grow.

The success rates:
This depends on the method i am trying, mainly low success ratio - which i am happy with (i want a real plant , not just one that has been 'strung up wth strings'. rockwool has a higher success rate than other methods.

Here is some cuttings i left too defend themselves - outside with a strawberry plant. The one on the left is the only survivor.


(Opinion) I want to add a point without picking on anyone in particular, that I do see a lot of people being too 'clinical' (sterile) with their methods and lets put a fact out there - this world is far from clinical.

(Opinion) I would like to give people something to think about when it comes to being 'sterile' and that is - when you remove one thing from the web of life, that you create an imbalnced, leaving open that which you have made sterile - open to attack. This is aline of my thinking when it comes to the world we live upon.

End (opinion) point:
With in the community of growers, smokers, and suppliers - when it comes to a species of botany such as cannabis studies, or the species of agriculture - weather being biological or synthetic cultivation, we are all on a big learning curve, even if you have had xx amount of years within. this point people are forgetting often -no one Man can have all the answers.
