Always seemed to muck things up a bit......

Solid guy… could hold his drink
Can’t say the same for the new kid on the block.

Is Redwood sawdust available? The OHz poster mentions that for the soil fluff. GL on the grow.

Thanks mate
I’m not sure if it’s available in the uk, but could be worth a look

20 days old
Topping time
Before:

And after

 

[mr.brunch]

31 days old, looking well… I repotted them into 3L pots and gave them a good drink today but I’ve tucked them into the tent and realised I didn’t take pictures
I’ll get a few in the morning when I put them on the window ledge- they’ve taken the topping well and seem happy
I shall return tomorrow with pics

 

[mr.brunch]

32 days old…. Forgot pics until I’d put them in tonight again but I managed to snap a couple.
They have split nicely on top and are pushing out some little side branches… I’ll probably top them again in the next week or so.

 

[mr.brunch]

Took them outside briefly for a water through, little windy but the sun was shining… only kept them out for a few minutes

 

[mr.brunch]

37 days old, time to re-top and trim the side branches below the first split
Decided not to clone as I have a fair few seeds to explore, so I reluctantly threw away the trimmings…which always seems wrong
Here’s the ladies, before and after- I’ll give them a good drenching tomorrow morning

Should give a nice shape to them

 

[mr.brunch]

Still going along fine, aiming to get them repotted into 20L pots early next week… I’ll get some more pics before then

 

[mr.brunch]

44 days old, they’re now in the tent, not repotted yet- just got one plant left to take down Monday then I can turn my attention to potting up.
Here they are

Gorilla cake

And the jacks

Jack side profile

I will update after repotting

 

[mr.brunch]

Sorry for lack of update… school is on holiday this week so extra busy.
I got them repotted last week so they’ve been in their new buckets for 7 days now and they are 8 weeks old in total.
Had a little bit of drooping to start but they’ve perked up, I’ll try and do a picture update later today

 

[mr.brunch]

Just finished watering, all looking nice and happy- realised after closing up that I didn’t take pictures
I’ll grab some tomorrow

58 days old, looking healthy- one of the jacks has a weird twisty leaf thing going on, but I guess she may grow out of it

Gorilla cake:

Two jacks:

And twisty jack

Until next update

 

[mr.brunch]

They have started to take off in the last few days, still nice and level canopy at the moment- so I have flipped them into flower today.
Preflowers are showing here and there so they’re plenty mature, I’ll get some pictures tomorrow when I water

 

[mr.brunch]

Into day 3 of flowering and I’ve just given them a nice watering… all looking good, even twisty jack is coming back ok.
They have grown well in the last few days, the pictures don’t do them justice

And the group shot

No feed yet, just water

Really like the look of that gorilla cake. When do you start to feed them, and what with?

Edit: and what are the elephants for?

I’d say probably around week 2 or 3 flowering- it’ll be miracle grow as always, once every third watering…. The soil has nutrients added but it won’t last as long as they say- the nutrients definitely wash away from the peat free faster than the old stuff.

The elephants are on a tray that acts as a spoiler for the fan, pushing the airflow out to the sides of the tent and across the soil as the direct air tends to wind burn the girls a bit.
It is also a handy platform to get the next generation started- as I run the lights at night I move the seedlings between windowsill in the day and tent at night…. Gives them a good head start I’ve found.

Looking great!
