Cock a Doodle Doo on with week 2.
Transplanted the chosen 6. The fabric pots I ordered did not come in in time soo, plan B, Planted the girls in FF Ocean Forest and will not feed until transplant shock is complete. Root structure was nicely developed on the 3 larger girls and not bad on the other 3. I will top once they take a hold.
All 12 clones survived the cutting, the other 6 will be Mommies. I am kind of sprized they all made it as ratty azz as they looked to start from the dumb jr woodchuck watering boo boo. We shall see how they do.

Well they looked so ding dang dog gone good I decided to top/fim them and give them a full over the bucket warm water soaking. I have the ts1000 on 100% and should soon have a new light for bloom. They are doing nicely and will set the timer to 20/4 same as I have for the new Autos. Trying to perfect the "Fim" topping. If I do it correctly I can get 2-4 branches per cut/top, if I do a dumb jr woodchuck cut and miss the cut and go to far up all I get is a set of trimmed fan leaves and a long stock, lol lol. If I hit any of the cuts I will get some better pics.
1-10 Update
All 6 girls are responding to the topping/fim and a couple are ready for some Rooster LST. I will be moving these girls to new house or move the Mommy Gelato cuz these girls are going to need some room. Decided to do a lil LST as I had the time and the girls looked pretty much ready. First real go around with LST. Pretty much the same theory as Defoliation, which I have used for a few years.
1-11 Update
Decided to give the girls a lil feeding seen as though they responded so well to the top/fim lst and they are 23 days since cutting was made. I usually feed on Sunday or Monday and then give a good mid week watering when they are big enough to have a mid week drink. I have used House and Gardens nutes for about 5 years and have yet to have them fail me, lol. I have failed me, lol. I have never had an issue at all with their nutes, plants clearly reflect this.
1-12 Update
Responding nicely to the nutes and lst work. Going to let them do their thing and just adjust lst for the next few days. Rock on
1-13 Update
Girls looked so ding dang dong gone good after the House and Gardens feeding that they needed a lil more lst, and topping/fimming. They respond very well to the lst I did a lil defoliate to get more light in the center. Rock on
