the blue whale 1 is about 7- 10 days from havest, on October 8th/23 I started a second plant in my areogarden, today i transfered the seeding into a dual root zone pot. recycling polyster pillow fill, topped with cococoir, and then planted mix with perilite. ive placed it in the media bed below the first plant to protect it from lights until it extablishes its self. this alows it to begin the 18/6 light cycle and not will need to be transplanted again.
