Seeds to Weeds : Live & Learn Organic Edition👨🏼‍🌾📝

Nice plan :+1:
As long as there’s space for them, and solo cups are small.
Bonus - during this time you’ll get a lot of practice taking clones & caring for mother plants. That’s gonna be a valuable learning experience. Growth, baby! We’re not just talkin’ about the plants here
:man: :potted_plant: :sun_with_face:

I’ve got a few plants that have been in solo cups since April/May. Still in veg too. Honestly I should either up-pot them or at least change out part of the soil. Their roots aren’t too great atm and it’s starting to show in the leaves & slow growth.

A couple months ago I actually cut the roots back on purpose. Seems to help the roots grow when kept in a small container. Nothing too crazy, took my shears and made 4 cuts about 1/2” - 1” deep where the bottom of the cup meets the side, a quarter turn apart from each other. I think this actually kept the roots healthier in the long run. Gonna try a side by side comparison in the future just for fun.

Damn I thought I was paying attention! :thinking:

Edit: Also meant to mention, have you heard of Bonsai mother plants? It’s a technique that was from an original OG member, from back decades ago. He showed how he kept super tiny mother plants so that he could keep a big variety of strains going.

@douggyfresh420 is the one who tuned me in to this tiny plant technique :+1:

Here’s the guide to it. Reposted after the site was relaunched. Originally written by someone who really knew their shit.
