Hi all,
A little late with my post due to Christmas and New years but fear not I'm still here...just
I had a mishap over Xmas, I was away a day longer than expected which was already a day longer than I wanted and then I picked up a cold, I suffered but my plants suffered more!
I gave them a splash of water and a spray 2 days ago and they perked right up!
I've repotted them just now and gave them some more water and a spray, I'll give them another couple of days to settle in then give them a dose of silicate.
My first potting didn't go to plan, I didn't make the hole big enough so it's sticking out a bit, I can throw some more dirt on top but I think it'll be OK.
The Wedding Cake is at the back and the two 3Gs are at the front.
Root development is a little poorer than I hoped but looks OK, I was expecting them to be root bound but in fairness I've never inspected roots at this stage before.
You can still see the leaves suffering a bit but WAY better than a couple of days ago!
Apologies for this terrible photo(below), I'm still not 100% and was a bit shaky
I had to have a lie down between getting the soil in the pots and repotting! This cold has had me beat! (man flu 🤣)
I know I keep saying I'll switch over to the HPS but I will do in a couple of days when I give them the silicate, I expect to see much better growth! And when I finally give them a proper dose of veg nutes they should be even happier! I've only given them one dose so far and it was a weak mixture
Lesson for next time, better lights (maybe 2) and repot much earlier!
I picked up a syringe when I was at the pharmacy for cold medicine so no more guess work measuring nutes/silicate!
I hope everyone is having a great start to the new year!
