Happy day before Thanksgiving! I’ll be in the kitchen most of today and tomorrow. Less time to fret over my girl, but fortunately she hasn’t been giving me any worries this week.
She also drank 3 oz of her water since last night! She’ll need more first thing tomorrow. I feel pretty sure that Friday is transplant day - I’ll be too busy tomorrow to take my time with the process. It’s too important to rush.
Oh, and her stem is peeling. I decided to look it up before having a heart attack, and apparently this is something they do. Considering how thick her stem is growing, I’m not surprised.
Of all the types of plants I’ve cared for, this one is surely the most interesting.
11/26 day 18 A big day! I found Lucy to be bone dry this afternoon, so time to transplant. Added Mykos to the hole, lightly misted the soil in the cup - it has tons of coco so it’s super crumbly - and carefully cut her cup
away. She had a very dense root ball which is great, and the transfer went flawlessly. Don’t know how, my hands were shaking!
Then 1/2 gal 6.5 water with 3 ml Sugar Daddy and 1 ml Root 66. Let her drain, she returned an ounce or two. And so back to the tent, had to adjust light intensity to get her back to 25 DLI.
Thank you again @Hellraiser for your meticulous journal. I am following step by step, and I believe we are well on our way.
Checked up on her before bedtime, as usual, and she’s kind of pissed off at me. Under the circumstances I understand.
Though I have to say I’ve never had a smoother transplant, I plant flowers I buy at Home Depot every spring and lord knows some of those went really rough and the plant was ok.
I’m going to trust she’s just sulking a bit. I’ll let her sleep on it and see her in the morning.
If Loretta is an auto flower, wont she just try to flower after 5 weeks regardless of her size? Maybe you can be the first to grow micro-mini buds. :))
Pretty much yes. She’ll decide to flower when she’s ready
My pride and joy very first ever pot plant was an auto flowering Gelato. She grew to be a whopping 12 inches tall and yielded a grand total of 0.65 ounces. the buds were good but it lasted about three days.
