I'm really starting to have my doubts about this one, but let's see what happens. She's still growing ever so slightly as she devours herself. That means there's still activity, however minute.
We can pretty much put the big one on the books. Her roots just made first surface contact. She seems to know the place belongs to her. Oh, and for the growers just starting out, see all those bubbles? Good right? Not if you don't have a chiller. That pump of mine blasts so much hot air into my res that this would be nothing but a detriment without the chiller keeping it under 70f constantly. But with chiller dutifully keeping the water at 68f? It's pure magic.
300 - 500US for a chiller is nothing to sneeze at, sure. But with it, you will succeed and succeed and succeed grow after grow. 500 bux doesn't seem like much after you've harvested pounds of dankeroni.
So I guess I'm gonna try to get near a pound with a single clone. I think she's up to the task. Look how huge her main stalk leaves are already.
She's exhibiting a powerful, tightly spaced node structure, and her side branches are sizing up at an alarming rate. This plant is a killer. I can already tell. The leaf texture tells me it's gonna be closer to the Tahoe than the Larry (which has me pretty relieved).
edit:
Okay, here's the deal, PO. If this fucker grows out PM free and gets anywhere near 14-16 zips by itself, I'll forgive you. I can't get root-bound, so theoretically it's possible.
I mean, one was 'pre-rooted,' but the other is certainly a champ, so I'm not busting PO's balls completely here.
