Heh people. My sincerest appologies for my negligence in keeping this alive. Health and priorities have been more demanding than I am able to keep up with lately. In an attempt to bring you up to date, I'm going to post a photo album from last post. And that runt Cali. Conn. 99 BK was becoming a dense dwarf until the birds pulled it twice outdoors. I really wanted to grow it out. Love the freaks. But here goes. 11 Bodhi's, my GG4, Northern lights, C.C. GG4, C.C. pre 98' BK. Dropped 4 each of Lucky Charms, Dragon Fruit and Snow Temple. Cat ate 1 Snow Temple seedling. I have chopped 1male. Believe I have 7 females and am waiting for 3 plants to show. Hit me up with questions or comments. I want to learn and share. Peace.

That flat canopy is awesome! A green solar panel you have made. The whole plant gets the light. I do a similar thing but kind of bonzai style.

Great grandmother you have. Do you water-down the honey w/ H2O to like 30% honey, 70% H2O? To make it less "gluey". I thought honey at 100% might hinder roots?

Yes what ratios do you use? You very healthy plants!
I use now a mix of 20% pumice/lava rock, 5% perlite and 75% peat-based organic soil. I find the peat soil is slightly acidic i think. Using peat soil i now don't need to add vinegar or lemon juice drops to my H2O to lower the PH. Though peat is not sustainable so i will likely stop being lazy w/ my soil.

Grandma used it straight. But she had hives for the orchard. I use root hormones. Can't afford honey for plants.LOL.

My new, after 3 years of tinkering, recomended soil is 40% soil, 20% coco, 10% peat, 20% starter mix and 10% compost. Ammended with Stonington blend lobster fert, Boogie brew tea"dry" and Boogie black.
Been busy the last two days. Wasn't ignoring you.

I'd suggest the $4 rooting hormones. Works better and faster.
