5 days



I learned quickly how fragile these plants are.....I snapped another one.  It looks like the clones i made from snapped plants are alive tho.  I think I will water them again tomorrow.  I haven't watered them since I potted them

From the picture I'm guessing the clones didn't make it?  Huh

Nah let them grow. No reason to take the leaves before they are mature. Just keep the plant reaching up as high as you can. Someone needs to grow them as big as sea mac's.  Cheesy

ya, the clones died as soon as i took the dome off.  I dont really care since the big plants lived. I just put them both in one big pot like 2 days ago.  I have them in the dark now, and im gonna take a leaf or 2 off each plant tomorrow.

BTW. Just to let you know I still am but not so much into mycology. Digital Hygrometers or RH and Temperature readers can't read the RH right due to condensation past 70%. Get an analog Hygrometer. You can get them at any local cigar shop and they're cheap 7-15 bucks. You dial em in yourself and they'll last anywhere from a week to 2 without you having to dial it in again. I forget the word but it's something where you make the meter work right.

I think I read somewhere that 2 plants in one big pot is better than 2 plants in small pots.  The new pot has about double the space the 2 small pots had combined.

I really dont care too much about what the humidity is, as long as they are happy!

ok little bit later now.  I tried LSTing my plants.  It worked good for one plant.



However, I ended up snapping the stem on my other plant.  after unsuccessfully trying to root if for about a month, I ended up just making it into a bunch of clones.



The ones in the big pots were transplanted about a week ago and seem to be healthy.  the other ones in the small cups were planted about 2-3 days ago.  they are still in shock, but they're alive.  I still have the top from the plant rooting, it has a couple roots, but not enough to plant yet.
