some fan leaf and tiny popcorn junk trimming - june 1 2010

i did quite a bit of pruning, getting rid of little popcorn tiny flower pieces that are too low to ever get a real chance to grow. i also thinned out quite a bit of fan leafery in order to allow more light to pass down and through the plant, i had done some reading and discovered several folks that were chopping most fan leaves off once the bud sites began to show their own leaf growth, the book i've been reading advises against this, i went ahead and gave it a try on one of the thai branches a few days back, today i noticed that the trimmed branche's bud sites were growing noticeably quicker than the other non trimmed branches, so i went ahead and applied the technique all over the thai, a little bit on the blue dream, and you can definitely see that i did this a few days back on the mystery plant too. in addition i am training the main cola of the thai again, it seems only 1 side of it gets a fair amount of light no matter how i rotate the thai plant, so we're training it down a bit to hopefully correct this issue



in the bottom left you can see 4 small pots of soil, they each have 1 bean in them, a fellow patient gave me seeds that he claims are feminized and either bubba or og, either one i'd be more than happy to create a little bit more room for



this was taken with flash turned on


to the right you can see one of the clones i took, it is a clone of the oaksterdam blue dream which is in the flower cabinet, she's reaching for the light and happy to be alive, so glad my cloning process worked out, i feel very confident in cloning now and will take my own thai clones in a couple days
