Day 58 in Veg
Today I've re potted the 6 BB Cheese clones from their 1/2L pots into 6L pots.
The previous soil mix was
Plagron 50L and
B'cuzz Special Mix 50L for no specific reason. The transplant grow medium is
Canna Terra Pro+. I have used all three brands of soil on independent tests in the past and highly rate Plagron and Canna grow mediums. The B'cuzz soil is simply OK, if u know what I mean.
Each 6L pot had 500mL of Hydroton Clay balls added to the bottoms before adding the canna soil. This is just a drainage assistant.
The tallest of the clones, now plants, stands around 10". One of the plants looks like its being eaten up by mites, i'll have to spray em again. The root development is rather good (see pic), even on the shortest of the plants.
After potting I sprayed them with Formulex. I haven't watered yet because the small pots were not dry when I took the root mass out. I will be watering them tomorrow, but I shall check their status in a few hours time to ensure they aren't wilting.
I've bought a hygrometer, so I shall now be able to watch the max/mins.. I only anticipate spending more money on a heating system to see us through the winter.
I think I will take 2 cuttings from each of the 6 clones over the coming weeks depending on their development. They will be the last shift in generation. I plan to keep a few as BB Cheese mothers, but bloom the rest, until I purchase some seeds and get a decent perpetual grow in motion
