I’ll warn you now, I’m lazy. My techniques have been defined as abusive. I can keep my plants both hungry and thirsty. I bend, twist, cut, fold, spindle and mutilate. It is not uncommon for me to cut out half the plant’s growth at one time. The fact is, I enjoy doing it. While it doesn’t occupy a lot of my time physically (remember, I’m lazy), I spend a lot of time thinking and planning my grows.
Take this White Widow as an example.
Cloned her last month, put her in a quart bag and basically forgot her. Found her the other day between some banana plants. She had roots growing out of her bag. We’ve had some rain, but more than that we have the humidity. Always.
I put her in a 3 gallon pot yesterday and thought about what I was going to do to her passed “making her into a bush”. Got up this morning, got some coffee and spent about 5 minutes on her. (It would have been less except I was taking pictures.)
