So these were cut about 8 weeks ago. They were not doing so well when I brought them home. They didn't come from an ideal environment and their parents were never in an ideal environment that I know of. From what I understand of their lineage they should be potent and quite top shelf indeed. At the time of these photos, today, they have been in these cups for about 6 weeks. New growth comes in very nice then after a few days it starts to go downhill. I have pulled them into rehab and we shall see how they fair. Time to stop any rapid growth and allow some damage control to happen. They will probably get about a two week rehab time after which they will be transferred into their buckets. To transfer them at this time with a clear root or genetic problem would be detrimental to their rehabilitation and put them into a state of shock. Therefore, even though they were going to be transferred today, they will have to wait so as to allow root growth and repair. Please look forward to their progress! :)
A little something I forgot to add... these girls were originally from a garden that constantly used floramite. I am not sure if avid or forbid was used. floramite, avid, forbid, eagle 20 these are all fine mite treatments for your ornamental plants but for anything for human consumption I whole heartedly disagree with using them. Even if they are outside, where the sun breaks down the chemical in the plant (I am sure you can mimic the effect indoors), they still test at least 5 ppms in the finished product. As it is highly recommended you completely cover your body and wear a mask when applying these chemicals, I do not see how any sort of consumption of any product treated with them would be good for you. It is my understanding these chemicals stay in the plant material indefinitely so perhaps they also can lead to genetic disorders in the long run...? This is just speculation, of course.
