Old Fogeys Mimosa and Mendo Cookies clone grow

[oldfogey8]

Trimmed some of the weak stuff from lower on all plants. Left mostly strong branches. Took 8 of the best trimmings for clones.

Those look very healthy

Thx. They are pretty happy. Realized if I transplant next week, I will need to find another place for 3 plants since a 2x4 ft space will not accommodate 7 three gallon felt bags very well.

 

[oldfogey8]

I transplanted this morning to my 3 gallon felt pots. All 7 pots fit in the 2x4 tent but only barely. I mixed in some amendments because I can’t help myself. 32 cups of recycled soil, 4 cups composted cow manure, 4 tablespoons each of dried chicken poop, blood meal, worm castings, rock phosphate and diatomaceous earth. Needed to make 3 batches and will still need to make one more but I need to let more soil warm up before topping off the pots. Hoping I haven’t screwed up by making the soil too hot...

Unrelated but I used my flower nute run off to water this during its outdoor summer adventure. Most blooms and prettiest color I have seen on it...

 

[oldfogey8]

Hoping for something like this someday...

I have wanted to try bonsai for decades but never have and at my age, I doubt I will be around long enough to grow a bonsai plant that would look like an old tree. I have my girlfriend(who I am now married to) a juniper bonsai when we first started dating. She killed it. No green thumb on her...

 

[Lesso]

Sounded like you said your girlfriend was a juniper tree....i spit out my drink.

I have wanted to try bonsai for decades ........I have my girlfriend(who I am now married to) a juniper bonsai ....

 

[oldfogey8]

lol. iphone spell check cant tell the difference between 'gave' and 'have'. i meant 'gave' obviously. a juniper bonsai would make a pretty lousy girlfriend...

 

[stinkyattic]

Haha I also thought you had married a juniper bonsai! I mean, us plant people do strange things, who's judging?

 

[oldfogey8]

I dated a poison ivy plant for a while but she was too rash for me...

 

[oldfogey8]

And don’t get me started on my relationship with a bleeding heart...

 

[stinkyattic]

I got asked out by a palm tree but I told him I really didn't want a date.
I talked to a walnut tree for a while but he turned out to be nuts.
And let's not forget the mimosa pudica... any time I tried to have a real conversation with him, he just kinda closed up.
*chorus of groans*
I'll see myself out now, sorry....

 

[oldfogey8]

This is getting to be a bit corny and is driving me bananas. How did we get here? Beets me. All these puns make me grown...

 

[oldfogey8]

Back to the subject of the thread(though the puns are appreciated and encouraged), I took a pic of my tent. Getting crowded. I was planning on getting rid of 3 plants to make room to flower but my cloning skills are not a skill at all so I may be keeping the 3 plants in a mother role. Not sure why I am having such a hard time cloning this go-round...

 

[Lesso]

Im dying....hahahaha

 

[oldfogey8]

Trying to wrangle these girls. 7 in 3 gallon pots in a 2x4 footprint=unintended SOG. I have a home for 3 of them but not for 3 weeks. Probably going to have to get creative...

 

[2RedEyes]

My mimosa is much smaller than the others in my grow box due to a later start and a week at the beach during our power outage...but I’m confident it’ll get going and already has actually...
