After 5 days without water the girls were finally thirsty tonight. It's also 5 days post transplant and they are looking happier every day. I was temped to water this morning but I felt like there was a little water weight in the bottom of their new pots. The top dried out a couple days ago and the first inch of soil was nice and light and fluffy. The two Larry's are really filling out bushy. The GSC is almost as tall now but isn't looking to be as bushy and is stretchier. I really like the structure on the Larry's and I think they will end up with a bunch of colas.
They each got 1/2 gallon of water and I got a couple cups runoff from each so maybe a little less next time. I found that if I use 1 part of the natural spring water I have and 2 parts of the bottled water I got at wal mart the pH comes out to 6.8 on my strips without adding anything. I resisted the temptation to add any "supplements" to the water. I'm already tempted to love them to death.
I'm super excited to take take cuttings from them and try to get my first clones going. The girls have enough new growth to get 3 or 4 nodes off the top. I want plants 1&2 to get a couple more nodes so that I can leave at least two on each new stem above where I topped the first time. Maybe this weekend.
Plant 1 all new growth looking nice and green and it's growing quickly.
Plant 2 looking very similar to #1 and just about as big.
Plant 3 is the GSC and a week behind. Not yet topped and not as bushy as the Larry's.
This is the first time in this tent and with this light and I can say I'm super happy with both. I'm using a box fax for moving the air in there and I like the rectangular shape of the 2x4. Here is a group shot.
I was a little surprised to find roots coming out of the holes in the bottom of the pot only 5 days after transplant. I guess the roots are growing aggressively. I don't remember them ever coming out of the bottoms of the 14" pots I flowered in last time. Not sure if this is good or not but not much I can do about it. Only 5 days.
