Recovered Gelato auto 1. Day 28 above ground. Still no flower.

Day 28, no flower. Post calmag, microbes, mycos, fish hydrolysate and bsm over ewc drench and dry.

I am giving both plants a chance to wick some of their excess water into the towels and so they are temporarily off their swicks. This is because I top dosed the one on the left, and the one on the right was flushed a week ago.

I cut up a cloth pot for the swicky pad and strips of absorbent dishcloth for the wicks.

I have an upturned Bato pot with a cake cooler balanced on the base and covered by a network of wicks and a wicky pad.

I have removed the first node. I am gently splaying the branches at node 2, and have splayed the branches at node three in line with the supporting fan leaves. They are secured with pipe cleaners. I began by gently bending the little branches outwards as soon as they had the length.

2 Days after dosing with Calmag. Third leaves seem unaffected by the nutrient issue at this time. Can the leaf damage be attributed to hot soil? Note the prayer stance on the swick.
