Thanks Y.D. Here is a little update...these little girls don,t seem to want to put on any height...12"-14" Inch's ?? Feb 1 will be two months in veg.,from seed.... So thinking that I will get some clones cut... And flip them?? They are in three gal.. pots now and haven't filled them out....Should these be big enough or should I put them in 5 gal??

cane, they are nice girls, i wouldn't at this size put in a 5 gallon pot. After flip the roots don't grow much at all. If you want big plants your going to have to keep vegging. The are just small plants I think, even outside mine were not big. They sure look nice and you should be happy with how they have done. You will get a nice harvest from these but if your going for volume then veg a while longer.

Thanks Rose, Mama is ready for the 12 & 12 light cycle ..I think that we will be happy with what we get out of this.. also I would like too see how big they finish out at....hopefully the clones take and we can veg them out under the T5s... Thanks Again Rose

make sure to give them at least 1 week if not 2 after a transplant, make sure they have really taken root in their new larger home before flipping to flower, no use transplanting then putting them right into flower, as rose said they dont really gain much root growth in flower, the light spectrum is wrong for rooting. so make sure they have stretched into the larger pot before flipping, i personally prefer at least 2 weeks after transplant into flowering pots/bags, they usually at least double in size once they really take root in the larger pot. so if you want that extra ounce or 2, you might wanna just leave them for another week or so. but they do look really nice, short and compact, my personal preference!

Nice job mrcane. I tend to take off the fan leaves that I don't think are getting enough light. But I'm always afraid to take too many off. Your plants are looking great. :48:

 

[mrcane]

Thanks Pp... Gave them 6cups each worm tea, trimmed them up...Hopefully not to much??? Next week we flip....:watchplant:

only outside can i get such beautiful structure. we have some very nice architectural trees where horizontal growth is most desireable. nice job!

 

[mrcane]

Thank you Hopper ...I can get carried away with a pair of cutters, I have butchered a few of my bonsai trees in the past....

Thank you Hopper ...I can get carried away with a pair of cutters, I have butchered a few of my bonsai trees in the past....

I got a couple bonsai as well. Also a nice variety of the alum. wire used for desired structure. You know with time and bonsai tech., you could get about any structure you could imagine. Huh? Make for awesome pics but tough harvest.

 

[mrcane]

Grasshopper,Funny that you brought this up.. Tried a little simple wiring on one of my plants...wanted to try to bring the bud sites that were shaded out in the light..will see how it goes??
