Clones going slowly, Plants going slowly, so I'm working on the soil. As mentioned, the soil seemed hot, runoff was 958ppm and 1916ec.

So I have been playing with the mix by itself. Finally put in 4 more parts Pete moss. So it's about 6 parts pete moss, 2 parts cotton burr compost, 1 part mushroom compost, 1 part vermiculite and 2 parts perlite. The runoff of is 407ppm 812ec and I would say pH is 6.5. Is this good?

BTW, what do you call a guy that's been dead and buried for a thousand years? Pete.

2 weeks after topping, repotted 2 healthiest plants to the cooler soil mix.
Candida that was topped at Node 3, right before re potting

Root balls are not too special

Candida one week later in fabric pot. Seems bigger. Sort of has 4 tops Uncle Ben Style

Clone tops,

and corresponding bottoms,

For reference, were topped at N3 and N4. As UB said, N3 has a chance of 4 topping, which it did here. N4 didn't, but that's what I wanted, so cool.

Most are still in the too hot soil, but no more for these 3 sativa girls.

1 week later. The younger Sativas ready to be topped, 41 days from pop except for a 78 day old Ethiopian runt in front.

Blue Dream CBD topped at N2

Blue Dream CBD top to clone. I don't know if this clone will work. I have reservations about the sponges made for this dome. I plant them in soil and they don't break down, so I worry they strangle the roots. This time I filled the holder with perlite. But I don't know how I will remove it and I won't be able to see the roots to tell if it's ready.

And this Ethiopian's clone died, so about to attempt worlds smallest clone

The 3 Ethiopian wise ones, just before the one on the right got pinched for cloning as shown above
3kings2-24.JPG They slow. Next, the Blueberry and Canafdida selected for repotting today,

And Candida taking off a little in it's new fabric pot. Think I will top to 2 taller tops. Canafdida is it's twin in the background.

A few weeks later. The Candida is probably my nicest plant right now.

The ethiopians are still small. This is the largest of the 3. As a reminder it was topped at N2.

Here's a shot of the whole room.

The younger Sativas were topped at N2 as according to @uncleben and are supposed to make a 4 top but don't seem to want to. Blue Dream CBD was shown before and right after topping a few pictures above. Here is BD CBD now but it's only giving 2 tops

and neither is Wild Thai

Some done earlier worked better like Candida here, which I've also been training,

Canafdida [(Cannatonic x Afghan) x Candida] sharing the spot for largest plant. Early indictions on it's clone say female. I'd say it gets it's vigor from its3-24canafdida.JPG Afghan genes.

Check out how tall and lanky this one got. Originally it was a top off one of these two, cloned so I could determine the sex

Later that top clone showed female flowers in the clone room and was moved back to the grow room. Wasn't enough room for a full pot but I wasn't going to kill it. I pollinated 2 buds on it. She's a tall and leggy sativa

Edit: I just like putting those cocoa balls on top. It's a soil grow.

Big boy home chuck, I mean girl, in center right. Starting to smell like bubblegum. That was unexpected. Parents smells were like orange glue, parmesan and candida I think has a diesel smell, though I don't mean the pot diesel, because I never smelled that, nor have I smelled the pot called bubblegumbdcbd-canafdida.JPG
