Lol I was.

Hope you were wearing a helmet! Safety first around here .

You do train them young!

Here is a smorgasbord of stuff I'm working on. Including 2 clones 1 cup. Might even be 3.

 

[InTheShed]

I always do 2 clones one cup these days (at least). Have to squeeze in as many as I can!

 

[Reave]

The "smaller" plants have stretched. I'm thinking they are more sativa then the larger plant. They are now a good couple inches taller.

I also attempted a single super crop a couple days back. Featured in the second photo.

Perfect placement on the bend

Perfect placement on the bend

Thank you. Its already back pointing up just haz a zig zag. I didnt realize that happened like that.

I'm looking forward to that bend knotting up.

So if these stretchy ones continue to be an issue I can do this to them All?

 

[InTheShed]

All your leaders, yet. Try to bend them into an area that is empty below so you're not blocking anything else. The earlier you bend them the better. I try not to bend too far along into stretch.

Ok I super cropped the one plant, a couple of the branches split a little lengthways. Do I need to do anything g or will it just seal on its own?

 

[Pennywise]

Just wrap them with tape to keep the splits clean, should recover no worries.

They look super healthy, good work on them!

 

[Reave]

They look super healthy, good work on them!

Thank you. I am quite happy. I read somewhere if they are healthy they can handle the abuse. So why not try super cropping them too.

I'm just doing this one plant since it stretched so much so I will have a results comparison.

Thank you for your advice. It looks like soil but it's organic potting mix of Pete bark spheglum and perlite. It is my understanding that this is soiless but is confusing me.

Do my seedlings look moist enough? Read so much about over watering and since it's my first time I don't have a feel for it yet.

Hi mind if i take a look?

Hmmm to me that sounds like the components of soil minus maybe some sand and food like bone, blood and meal.
So its soil but no food in there... until the bark and moss start breaking down over time

Ya plants look beautiful mate. What strains are those little ones?

White Widow if you are looking back further. If you are looking at my clones they are white widow and Durga Mata.

The more the merrier.

The soil ended up being soiless ph of 5.8 is perfect.
