So, out of the six clones I started in soil from the c99's, I got at least one that's showing vigorous growth. I got a few others that seem healthy but aren't showing growth yet, so I dunno bout those, but I'm happy with one to keep as a mommy. That's good enough for me. I pulled her out and she had some amaaaazingly big fuzzy white beautiful roots starting to circle the bottom, so I upgraded her to the next size container I had on hand, which she may stay in for a long while as I train and bonzai her in this lil container.

Everything else is showing steady growth... no need for pics yet... will wait til there's more contrast to show off... but happy to be transplanting something anyway, as I've been bored watching them grow, lol. I also decided to soak a couple seeds to pop for more fun... don't know what the plan is yet, but I'm soaking blimburn's Orka feminized, and a Blue Dream X Cheese cross.

Edit: Oops, did it again, forgot about them, soaked them for like 18 hours. Hopefully it wasn't too long and they still sprout...

Getting pretty close to flip time... not tracking time very closely, but looking at my older thread it seems I probably transplanted bout a month ago... figuring the rasp. coughs got about 2-3 weeks more under their belt from prior, so I could call that 6-7 weeks... while the c99's are probably more like 5-6 weeks... so figure I'll round out a two month veg time very soon... judging my flip by when they reach the ring, basically... nugbuckets calls for 3-6" growth past the rings when you flip... I'm erring on the low side of that, going to flip when the raspberries are at 3" past. (At that time I will also trim the rings to go on the C99's so their height is 3" shy of their tops, respectively)

Lil mini update today... actual garden shots comin tomorrow when I water...

Here's a little treat for my kitties I started, oat grass:


The view of the gardens from the lawn... sure is bright out there... ;)


And here's the main attraction, the auto sweet tooth I been runnin' in the background (foreground actually) for a while now. She's pretty small, and she has had her issues, as I've all but neglected her, but she's still producing a nice lil cola for me to try dat tooth:








And here's an up-skirt teaser of Cinderella for tomorrow's photo shoot, haha:

#lol(just kidding haha) but yeahh hell yeah haha! I bet a lot of things will grow well in the soil haha! It's sorta weed tailored given all the ingredients, but it's really an all around mix! But I'm trying to get the lass into growing real plants haha! She'll go a buy a very nice FAKE plant and just sit it there to look at lol.

Haha... I am not wasting the good soil on kitty oat grass, just base mix ;) lol. I wouldn't mind getting into doing some other (edible) plants myself... I really wanna move somewhere it'd be worthwhile to do a green house year round... for multiple purposes.. :D

Pffff, you and me both bro. Like Hawaii would be the best place!
Tis where I'm headed probably. I got friends out there... real close "family type" trip-friends from my crazier years... we were all supposed to head out there but there was some crazy love triangle shit that complicated things and they ended up heading out there ahead of me while I chose to stay mainland side for complicated reasons... been trying to make a jump out there for a long time. Very likely destination. Those fucking centipedes though, DAMN.

Lord, I am such a home-body.....but I was a Navy Brat so I suppose
that I did my traveling as a youth.

It is good, learning to get a feel for how others live. I prefer longer stays,
away from the tourist scene, as I feel like I am living with others,
as opposed to just popping in. (another vestige of foreign stations?)

haha.. I have a unique design, I am half hermit and half nomad. I like to get around, but I like my space and privacy. haha. I love social interaction but absolutely require isolation. And I can make money off tourists so tourist scenes are a good thing in my book, haha. :) (musician, busk for moneys)

But yeah, just saying I can empathize with the home-body vibe as well.

Did I mention I'm a gemini? haha

Yeah mon... keep in touch, if you head that way let me know. I have guaranteed crash space for myself as is, hoping to eventually get established out there and provide similar services to others if needed, so... and vice versa, I might be lookin for the couch if you get there first, lol

Here is my weetle friend (C99 clone):



What do you think I'm seeing here on the raspberry coughs? The discoloration is so minor... it's like one part of the leaf is not mega super green and is only green, heh. But still, is this the beginning of something worse or should I not be concerned? (only seems to be on oldest fan leaves)



Canopy shots all around:

C99s:




One more C99 shot, I like this lady in the middle, she seems to show slight sativa dominance in her leaf shape compared to the others, and she's really putting out an awesome wide canopy:



Raspberry Coughs:




Can't wait to start tying off to the ring and getting the canopies opened up more... couple more inches and the raspberries should be ready to tie on...

btw I was messing with flash for these shots.. colors are more true this way, but they got washed out, so I corrected the exposure down and upped the contrast a little in lightroom. :) Still not able to take perfect pics in there, I need to add some sort of additional light source...
