There was also Good news yesterday. I took 9 Cuttings on Monday 24/08/20, 4 Gelato and 5 Banana, i checked yesterday and all have rooted and are showing off their Sexy Legs, lol. I'm so sorry to my friends that I promised pics of my taking cuttings process, i did take them and I will post them up, it's just been a really busy week with work. Here are some pics of my clones roots from today.

Those look great! Do you ship the skunky banana smell to the US? Haha
We’ve read mixed reviews on seed vs. clone. Since you’re keeping your plants small like we will, have you noticed a big difference?

Hahaha, Thanks Stinky and I'd def ship you Some Banana smells over if I could. The cupboard is really starting to smell now, lol.

There's no denying that a plant grown from seed is generally going to be stronger starting off than a clone. The tap root from a seed anchors the plant down far better than the roots initially produced by a clone. For me personally though as a small indoor grower I've never noticed a difference in Yield, Taste or Potency between my Seed grown plants and the Clones ive taken from them. Plus its saved me hundreds and hundreds of £ on buying seeds and because I grow on a quick turnaround with short veg times Clones are perfect for me.

Thanks! Totally our thinking too. Hard to compare to these magicians and huge plants- ideally, we’re going to have a few in each cycle. Thanks again!

No problem and always feel free to ask questions, im always happy to help if i can. Huge plants are great and look mighty impressive, but for us personal growers I think we're better off going for Quality over Quantity and once you've got your growing down and your own routine in place then you can set it up so you always have your own quality/regular supply.

Happy Sunday Folks, just a quick update. Both the Green Gelato and Fat Banana are doing well, although i am finding the Gelato to be a bit of a finicky feeder as opposed to the Banana which hasn't shown any signs of deficiencies. Something to keep in mind as we're now in week4 and I'll prob have to start feeding them either with a Top Dress or my Biobizz nutes soon as the nutes I originally put in the soil are due to run out soon. Today I have watered both with 5l each of tap water and will keep an eye on them over the next week.

My other Green Gelato is now in week8 and she also got 5l of plain tap water. She's starting to fill out and produce some lovely aromas. Still quite a while to go with her before she's ready though.

Hi Folks, apologies for the lack of Updates. The Joy's of Growing in a Country where Cultivating marijuana has hit us and we temporarily have to take everything down. A neighbour of ours has been busted for dealing so my partner and I are a little worried about the law keeping an eye on our area and feel it's best to pack up shop for a few weeks whilst the Heat dies down.

We've found someone who is going to adopt our Green Gelato and Fat Banana cuttings and my Mother in Law is going to let me finish off my Big Green Gelato at hers. She's an avid fruit and vegetable gardener so I'm lucky because she has a small veg area for her seedlings and is happy for the cuttings I took a couple of weeks ago to stay in there during the break so I can start straight back up again when the coast is clear.

Thanks for watching this journal and I'm sorry its been cut short. I'll still be around and will start posting pics of the new grow as soon as it's back up and running my friends. Cheers

Sorry to hear that, man! Fingers crossed the spotlight goes away and you can grow in peace.
