    Just starting a Wedding cake from Seedstockers so interested in how they grow and finish. They look great.

    Time for yet another horribly infrequent update!

    I have been able to bring three little ladies inside+out for the past two months. I cleared space in a spare room and covered the windows, leaving them open and having a floor fan moving air. I've got it just barely not directly on the plants, colder temps have led to some very pretty purple coloring on the leaves and has had some light effect on the buds. These three (2 Wedding Cake, 1 Jack Herer) are looking like they'll be ready to chop sometime this next week. Some cloudy with a fair amount of clear still.

    The autoflowers, yea, wasn't too sure what I was doing with these, they're lanky and small..although exactly what my bud had wanted out of them. His idea was to just let em go and do their thing, no excessive nutes/training/topping. I've started giving them Fox Farm Beastie Bloomz and will finish with Cha-Ching. Still have three more seeds to pop before the end of this season, think I'll educate myself better on how most of y'all handle these fun little ones.

    Terrible photo-representation of the last 25gal lady, Jack Herer. Noticed she was thirsty as I was heading to bed, remedied it this morning. Honestly, not sure how it will end up. Her Gelato neighbor went hermie and was chopped, Jackie girl is still hanging in limbo between flower+veg. Crossing my fingers, but also preparing for the worst.

    Hence, grow cabinet still thriving. Two Larry ladies started from seed found in last year's crop, a Wedding Cake clone from this year and the last set of seeds of Wedding Cake, Gelato and Jack.

    Hoping all are healthy and well, Summer is upon us! Thanks for stopping by.

    Definitely can be done. Roots will grow through on these ones, I learned last year..the ladies I had on the table grew into it, literally.

    Ant larvae! I came back out after ~30min, watering must have flooded their underground colony and they moved to the Gelato! I got my spray bottle with some dish soap and sprayed then and again yesterday.

    I cut up the pots last year, was quite easy. However, someone had recommended rolling them off (I had done that on smaller pots) so I gave it a shot..took some time and patience, but knocked it out and kept my 7gal bags intact.

    Rwise my fabric pots are too thick but if I did have felt I surely would just cut off bottom poke tons of holes and bury it

    A friend simply drops the whole pot into the ground (or larger pot), the roots grow threw most brands (not "smart pot" brand). IDK if the cloth pots can be reused after letting roots grow threw them. Mine are cheap enuf at ~$2.50 each (for the 3 G size) to burn one or 2.

    What are those whiteish larve? Are those butterfly or ladybugs I hope LOL. yes I would of cut those pots and buried them in the larger pot for sure. That's the only way I would do that sort of transplant. Anyhoo they all look good from here, those leaf will grow normal after a bit. Lovely day your having, same here worked outside in my garden and did a bunch of maple seedling transplants.

    Oh my, I had a fun morning. Ended up up-potting a Jack Herer and Gelato to 25's; they were the only two that didn't seem too far along. Made more exciting, by what I'm led to assume was placing the Gelato above an ant colony.

    I'm starting to see some "twirling" leaves, just can never find em when I look for a picture. From what I've read this can be a sign of reverting from flower to veg. Crossing my fingers here, we'll see!

    Not to be a nah sayer but this is why I dislike fabric pots for transplant especially larger plants like you got, scares me cause the roots are all entwined with the bag. Great for final pot love them, but I use 1-3 gal plastic to grow my clones and seed starts once out of solo cup.

    They will reveg but will be much longer grow time I think. I got two clones that flowered i'm holding them back keeping them in 1gal. till I see more reveg else they will go into a tent as not to waste them and grow on 18/6. Mine are in a unheated GH waiting for better weather longer warm days currently and yes in their final pots.

    If you are gentle with them you can get the whole (wet) soil ball out of the cloth pots without disturbing the roots. Then set it in a larger pot and fill in around it. I would make the new soil lower in N and higher in PK.
    I am thinking about starting some Tajikastani Hash Plants, and or some Santa Marta Colombian Gold. 2 autos sprouted yesterday, we'll see what they do.

    Alrighty. So, to catch up on this year's journey...

    One of my Gelato seeds ended up being a runt, after transplanting to 7g fabric pots I ended up culling the poor lady. All ladies seemed happy enough, but undoubtedly I've placed them outside too early, stay tuned to see how my remaining gals turn out.

    One of the Jack Herer seems to be fighting flower, instead stretching about a foot and now showing signs of stress in the form of drooping. I had intended to transplant this weekend, only to recognize that I've got myself into a pickle!

    Popped some Auto's last night, I've got three gallon bags ready for them...Fairly certain I will be dropping my remaining photo seeds come next weekend, as a backup in case these photos go a bad way.

    Spent a good amount of time this year letting the plants do their thing without putzing around in the garden. Training (LST) has been a bit more light, waiting to be in the 25g bags to really git'r'done.

    Question for those who are willing to suggest their advice. Should I start transplanting these ladies into their final pots? I keep convincing myself that if they have indeed started flower, it's too late.

    Yes I was hesitant to let the young fluffy rescue out but she's now skilled in surviving the night. She's 7months now? I think and as big as the older cat we rescued she teaches her the hunt and man I got decapitated mice and moles all over both porches LOL

    Hi hi! Good to hear from you. He's a goofball, have been letting him outside lately and it's a riot. Only similar in appearance to my previous kitty, a bit of a scaredy cat this one!

    Nice to see you again @MeestaFeessha how's the kitty?

    Well I've got 2 clones that went into flower also did not up pot those yet but the rest are in their final pots sitting in the green house out of the rain storm were having. Mine I believe flowered cause I took them from a barely flowering mom but she was in preflower. I had them under LED till may 10 days ago and started hardening them off when sun was out.
