Day 70 Update - Cloning party
Day 70 - Flower Day 3
Yesterday, I defoliated the lower branches of my Papayas and decided to cut a few clones. I put the cuttings in a solo cup with about 1.5" of water and left them in my tent for 24-hours. Today, I took the cuttings, scraped the lower stems, dipped them in Clonex, placed them in Rapid Rooters, and set them in solo cups filled with perlite and about 1" of water with a tiny splash of Doc Bud's Transplant. Now, they're in my veg cabinet getting ready for bed. I also took a cutting from a lower branch of Bubbalicious #1 for shits and giggles, but my hopes aren't big for that one. The light in the cabinet is at 18/6, though down the road I may try the Gas Lantern Routine of 12 hours On, 5.5 hours Off, 1 hour On, and 5.5 hours Off... Repeat.
Along with the clones, I soaked 2 more Mystery seeds and placed them in Rapid Rooters inside my germination dome. A small heating pad underneath helps to keep the dome warm.
The flowering tent is moving right along. No buds on the Papayas, yet. Bubbalicious #1 and #3 continue to surprise me. None of the buds are huge, but they are dense and getting denser. The CFLs really seem to be helping bulk up the main colas on each Bubby. All that said, I'm just a proud parent and much of that could be in my head. Anywho, the evidence:
{Day 70 - Flower Day 3}The clones inside my veg cabinet. (June 2nd, 2015)
{Day 70 - Flower Day 3}Bud shots from the Bubbalicious sisters. (June 2nd, 2015)
{Day 70 - Flower Day 3}Group shot of the tent under LED light only. (June 2nd, 2015)
{Day 70 - Flower Day 3}Group shot of the tent with CFLs added. Note: the light is much more like daylight to the naked eye, but the white balance on my camera was having a hard time adjusting to CFLs and LEDs. (June 2nd, 2015)
Hope all is well in your world. Thanks for stopping by!
