Transplanted everythig. I had a issue where my solo cups rootball was too big to not go directly into ghe supersoil. I buffered the bottom of the hole where it would sit but its still right in the supersoil buffered mix. As of now everything still looks awesome I topped all 5 vortex 4 at the second node 1 at the 3rd and the qrazy train I have 3 topped and 1 im gonna grow out reg to hopefully et a noce large cola.
As of now I think everything looks fine, how long till I know if theres a issie w my supersoil ph/nutrient level or if its all good?

If the soil runs out of food youl probably notice a little yellowing first, but the ph should be fine.

Everything is goin well and all the plants responded well to the topping. Some of the leaf edges are flairing up. I think itsfrom my low humidity and the dan blowing on them. Humidity is around 15-40%.everything size wise is on schedule to be cloned and flipped in 2 weeks, ill post pics tommorow morning guaranteed, I know ive been puttin it off but they're just now startin to look like awesome bushes. If I hit 12" before my 2 weeks mark is here ill flip them.

the 4 plant pic is all vortex, the 3 plant pic is all qrazy train and the 2 plant pic is 1 vortex and 1 qt vortex is the larger of the 2,
help me out, on the last pic you can see some leaves with the edges curled up. im pretty sure this was caused from low humidity but i could be wrong let me know,

thanks breeder. just to let the followers know, ph hasnt been a issue, qt has been a nute hog(draining my unadulterated roots organic soil of nutes in a mere 2 weeks). the vortexs and qts are pushing through...my tallest one is 11" and 6 of 9 are already showing preflowers. before they get too big imma need to flip. come week 5, we shall be flipping. next thurs the 1st for those who do not follow this thread. the vortex in the middle is pushing out crazy nodes, i think ill have my densest buds off that one by the way its lookin.

i love the sound of the 2 strains im growing but my holy grail mmj is lime green budz with perpendicular red hairs protruding from all areas. if you know any strain like this pm me. ill try and post a pic of the bud im talking about soon. i also need crystals. so theres prob a very rare medium i must find. i will search for it.imagine a cone bud, a lime green perfect acute triangle bud with bright orange hairs sticking straight out about 1/8th inch long...thats what i need,

Nice man, of the vortex so far I have 3 with beautiful teardrop shaped calyxs and 2 unknown. I think imma end up with 4 fem and 1 male in vortex and the qrazy trains its still too early to tell but I think ones male with little white furry ball preflowers. I can see the vortex blowing my mind, they are all so dense bishy and beautifully shaped plants. I had to tie one down a little cuz 2 shoots were growinfg higher than the other 2. Everythig is goon great thans for stoppin in.

watered and did my round of lst and some minor thinning of some of the inside lowest fan leaves. also topped one that was outgrowing the others a second time and left 4 nodes per branch on 4 branches, im interested to see how the double topping works. i checked out some of the preflowers under scopes today and found 2 vortex and 1 qt that had white pistils starting to protrude. Cool. I also found one of my unknown(male of female) vortex preflowers totally covered in resin. Cool again.

another interesting thing i found was a plant with such thick stems and throwing off tons of fans to the point where theres 3 branches per node. 2 were side by side in a v shape and 1 was on the other side of them. i cant recall if it was on all 4 branches but i know for sure it was on 2 branches. is this uncommon?


edit: since i just lstd i will show my pics tommorow after everything is perked back up.

heres some unique shit, my 3 branches turned out to 4, a result of 2 tops growing together, check the pics, you can see what im talkin about :)


edit: its not a topped branch, its a topped plant but about 5-6 nodes up the branch, i noticed the top looked very dense last week and wondered y well i guess this is why, og and good thing, its a female, looking at the canopy its the one in the dead center, the one right behind it has some super sugary preflowers, i saw bunches of milky trichs on a preflower but no white hairs yet so i still have it as undecided.

checked today and so far i have 4 vortex females and 1 qt female, 3 qt are undecided and 1 vortex is a tall stretchy one so i think it might be a male.these thing are progressing so nicely, 2 of the vortex i have, have extremly tight tight tight node growth and 1 qrazy train is really standing out like what i imagine the trainwreck being, luckily thats my 1 confirmed female qrazy train. flipping the lights soon so stay tuned, either thius thursday or this saturday we will see how tall they are.

I like the sound of replacing the blood meal.....I've never been a fan.
Ants got into a half full bag of blood meal i had stored in my shed. I was a little upset because they carried off a few dollars worth of blood meal. They took it underground three inches away from a freshly transplanted Mexican Bird of Paradise stem (not marijuana) i had just payed 15$ for. I was super worried it would burn, but to my surprise the ants and the plant are doing great. Ants love this stuff. It made me think that if you could find the right strain of predatory ants to transport your blood to the roots they would help kill any insects in the garden. Any thoughts?

Midwestmmj, i love the grow! Super soil takes a bit of effort in the form of procurement, i hope your harvest reflects the effort! Also that i'm sorry for thread derailing, just did not know where esle to place my blood meal observation.

Had a hermie scare today cuz of a raised calyx. But checked the other vortex and notices some calyxs with a stem that had white hairs so Im led to believe its just a very immature female flower. I think of of my fems is a male cuz it has these claw lookon preflowers and I cant find any white hairs just tons of different lookin preflowers. Other than that these 7 soon to be 6 if I confirm the other one a male l, are fillin in fast. For sure flowering on thurs regardless of size even though they're about 12" tall and are wide as fuck cuz my 4way lst.
