Heres a pic of the transplanted plants 5,6,7,&8 on Friday 8/26. Looks 50/50 whether they'll make it.
Heres the picture I could not upload yesterday.... Its hard to believe these pictures are just 48 hours apart.8/28... Heres a picture from today, 48 hours after transplant. THey are looking great.
I also had to add some stealth intakes.
For the intakes I picked up some soffit vents from the hardware store. The are 4 inch diameter vents as you can see below. I like the way the ribs are angled so you place the vent at the angle you need to provide the most stealth.
I drilled the whole with a 4" whole saw. and popped the vents in. 10 mintutes plus cleanup and the job was done.
8/29.. I am trying my first LST on plant 3. Not sure quite how or where I should be tying it off to be perfect. I welcome comments on improving my method.
Love the new mod to the cabinet, and the 4 new plants are lookin great! Glad to see the original 4 bounced back well, too. Hard to tell from the photo of the fim cut if it was done right. Even if it wasn't, though, no worries. You'll know for sure as it recovers and starts growing again. First time I fimmed, I thought I botched it. A week later, I had five new branches from the one cut. Sometimes I get two new tops initially, like the fim didn't work, then a few days later an additional new branch or two will pop out. You've obviously been readin up on it, so I'm sure you have a handle on the method. When I do it, I try to leave about 10% on each side of the u-shaped cut. Works pretty well for me. Good luck!
Well I don't think I got a U shaped cut with a scissors. Further research indicates I should have used a razor blade and did a U cut as you mentioned. THats pretty small and tight area to slip a razor blade in. I guess I just need more practice.
Do I cut it or let it die when the water in the tray
goes dry? THis tap root has multiple shoots coming out of
it.
I'd just prune the exposed root and try to keep the drip tray dry in the future. Maybe wipe out the trays a half hour or so after ya water. Are you getting too much drainage, not enough moisture retention in the soil? Might want to water with less, but water more frequently to help keep the roots from searching outside the pot for water. The plants look great, by the way. When do you plan on switching to 12/12? That spot where ya fimmed is lookin pretty crazy, lol.
I am going to try that. Thanks for the tip on the roots. I am going to trim them and dry it out.
No worries. You could also add a larger gap between the bottom of the pot and the runoff. Should give the air more time to prune stray roots. Maybe an inch or so higher? Good luck!
