Week 5
Both plants are still kicking.
Colors good, structure and shape are good, if a bit twisted.
Feed is the same routine and everything is going smooth.
Spotless did a weird thing, and I’m not sure I can describe it very well but I’ll try.
She was the one who got the big bend, so her main stem was pulled off to one side pretty sharply and then secured to the edge of the autopot.
In the stretch phase, she managed to pull that tie down off and her main stem folded back almost 180 degrees in the opposite direction. This takes place over a couple of days and it surprised the heck outta me.
I know the main stem will pull against tie downs and even supercropped branches will try to reach back up towards the lights but I hadn’t seen a main fold back like this.
I actually ended up wrapping some garden ties around the main and a lower branch to hold things steady for a bit.
might be hard to see but I’ve got a couple pics of it to share.
so nothing earth shattering but something I hadn’t seen and it’s setting the stage for an interesting plant.
Spotless is wide with lots of branches and nodes to work with. My kinda plant.
Mango Sunrise getting big, lanky.
Mango and Spotless side by side.
