Trap's HankFLO - P1F3 #2

[Trapper]

So the quandary now is this....

I'm out of soil, out of space, out of pots suitable for transplanting...
The male and probable male currently reside in the square pots,
and the other females (5 & 6) are in the smaller transplant cups.

I thought about the possibility of culling 3 and 4, getting as much of
the roots out as I could (perhaps some sensizym) and transplant into
the squares, thereby making use of that soil. But it seems like a tier
cup transplant on an already tall/thin pot would yield a VERY precarious
and top heavy contraption. So I may attempt a soil only transplant.

Is that just a guaranteed disaster? (stunting)

Because I'd like to grow these other two females out even if it's
bonsai style, just to see the plant/flowers, and increase the probability
of hitting an auto.

Trap if you are easy on them transplanting won't hurt and the sooner you do it the less chance of stunting in my hands on research lol
cause I had best results when I transplanted as soon as I could make out the sex

Roger that, Snipe. Just did

Culled 3 and 4...had more evidence of family jewels this morning...
Transplanted 5 and 6 into pots that are slightly larger than the square pots.

Basically did the same thing as a tier cup transplant but cut all the way up
the side of the container before burying it in the new pot...then slid the cup
up and out.

I have to say, I don't know how they'll react to my first transplant attempt and I don't
know which ones, if any, will auto...but I'm sure psyched to have 4 of 6 ladies from
my first real regs run

I'm gonna say that since they have all thrown pistils this early, they're going to auto.
My photos never throw pistils under a 18/6 until they are 40+ days old on the average.

That's kinda what I was thinking/hoping...

So at this point, what's remaining are 1, 2, 5, 6 - 1,2,5 are on day 21 and the mutant (#6) is 2 days behind at Day 19.

It doesn't look as though 5 or 6 were really freaked out by the transplant but it may be a little early to identify that.









Loving these little gals and starting to see some very familiar leaf shapes and serration patterns.

Little update on the FLO girls....Seems like the transplant on 5 and 6 held them up for about 24-36 hours but they are back on the move now....it's interesting, they are all chucking pistils pretty considerably now...seems early for that. And 6/the mutant is definitely a different pheno. Lighter shade of green and seemingly different serration pattern. But 1,2 & 5 all seem very similar.

Day 27 for the Flo girls (#6 is 25 days)

A couple interesting things have transpired...

Seems there are two distinct phenos - Short/Tight and Tall/Open.
One of each in each medium. The cup transplant girls in the bigger
airpots are in SuperSoil and the two full transplants in the smaller
traditional pots are on a Fox Farms diet. All four are seemingly very healthy.
All are Happy Frog as the base.

The other interesting thing is that they are in full pre-flower, throwing
pistils everywhere, and it seems really early for them to be doing that
but I'm not complaining

I'll post pics with one plant per post so this'll be plant #1 (A Tall/Open)
