LUI Day 25

LUI Day 25

We’ll be showing these girls getting transplanted . . . but wanted to get the . . . day 25 group shot shown . . . the next time these babes are shown as a group they . . . will be into new homes . . . someone mentioned stretch and these girls show a lil . . . bit more stretch than might be expected for a couple of reasons . . . the . . . topping/cloning we did took the best / tightest growth off of these plants . . . . . . that does some funny things to plant growth hormones for a few days . . . most of . . . the plant growth hormones are concentrated at the growing tip . . . topping . . . causes the plant to “redistribute” growth and spreads those hormones for a . . . time . . . we cut each plant back to 3rd complete pair of nodes . . . 6 total branches . . . per plant . . . so these remaining branches were lower / smaller branches that . . . had been fairly well shaded . . . with transplanting and a lil time to recover . . . from topping (which diffuses growth hormones out through the plant) . . . things . . . should tighten back up well and soon . . .

here we show the first three pics of our LUI getting transplanted . . . the babes . . . are watered lightly using plain water to help make sure their root ball . . . slides out of the planter more easily . . . then we squeeze the sides of the . . . 4 1/2″ planters lightly to help encourage the root ball to come our whole . . . . . . and with a little shake to help get them moving . . . we gently slide it out of . . . the planter . . . the final pic of these three shows the root system these babes . . . have grown in less than a month . . .

the LUI was gently placed in it’s new home . . . the 5 quart buckets aren’t a big . . . step up from the 4 1/2″ pots . . . but they’ll serve nicely for a two or three . . . weeks until these babes are basically ready to move into bloom . . . a couple inches of fresh soil mix are placed in the bottom of the container . . . we used three heaping handfuls of dirt . . . after sliding the seedling into place . . . we gently add enough dirt to fill around the edges and shake it down to compact . . . it without pressing . . . it’s just that simple and our LUI’s already look happy . . . and content in their new homes!

. . . : I can also see you gave them another nice drink after you put them in . . . their new homes . . . DutchMasterZ . . . . . .

Absolutely! . . thanks for pointing this out because it’s . . . something we forgot to mention . . . we review the thread over the last few days . . . from time to time to make sure we haven’t missed anything . . . so we probably . . . would have caught this omission . . . but we appreciate you noticing and not . . . letting us forget! yes, the babes were given a good drink once they settled . . . into their new homes . . . when transplanting we like to use a “root drench” with . . . kelp concentrate . . . folks have already heard us rave about the “magical” . . . properties of kelp concentrate . . . about how it has a complete range of . . . micro nutrients and provides potassium . . . and how it also provides some nifty . . . plant hormones . . . so we wont bore them with a complete recap . . . simply suffice . . . it to say that we like kelp at transplant time too! . . . we think it helps to . . . ease plant stress and generally provides a nice tonic for our babes . . . A . . . teaspoon of kelp concentrate per gallon of water provides a nice root drench . . . for general use or foliar feeding . . . two teaspoons per gallon is a . . . significantly stronger mix and is our preference for watering at transplant . . . time . . . after transplant the LUI’s in their new homes got about 1 . . . 5 gallons of . . . the kelp solution spread out between the 13 siblings . . .
