Royal Gorilla

This week she was micro topped, transplanted into a 2gal Smart Pot and given a light feeding. Base nutrients were kept at a 3:2:1 ratio of G:M:B (not mixed in that order). I decided to trial micro-topping earlier in the week on this girl as I've heard it causes less stress on the plant, due to it being a very small topping. In theory it's plausible, but after testing for myself I can say, for me, it doesn't provide quicker growth. Actually the opposite. I'll just be topping as usual in future. As you see in the pics, she is missing her middle finger on one of her leaves. This is because I was a little bit rough during micro-topping and killed that part of the leaf when it was slightly smaller than pictured. I pinched it off and it doesn't seem to have affected her at all so she'll be ok. Overall she's not doing too bad but lower growth is slightly yellowing and her stems are quite purple. In hindsight I should have given her a stronger feed, but also didn't want to shock her roots during transplant. Her new tops are coming in slowly but we should see her back to health soon and growing quicker than ever. Her Base nutrients were doubled and other nutes were increased on her next feeding (particularly cal-mag), on Day 29 as you will see in next week's update.
