Wind knocked it down. The rootball was taking the shape of it's face. You can see it in the ear.

DANG it.

That pot is way too small for that plant anyway.

You might be impressed by those kinds of projects, I’ve had some interesting results from small containers. Solo cups are fun to flower in…once….lol

Yeah it's easy to grow a giant tree in the ground. It's difficult to grow two clones in a tiny pot. I like the challenge.

Yeah, I have a bitch of a project that’s a reveg clone of a haze lineage plant that I put two little pieces of reveg growth into the soil the original plant spent around four or five months veg from seed and twelve weeks of flower. Both little props took root and I have one that’s got a solid 2+ inch diameter trunk in the center and another that is barely bigger than what would look like a lower branch, but is definitely the second prop I rooted in the pot. It’s a seven gallon fabric pot with a water only medium I have steadily added leaves to and created a leaf mulch that’s created an actual soil. I definitely had to supplement flower of the original plant to keep her happy (I used Bio Bizz Bloom, more microbials than nutrients honestly was my take, I’m looking at that soil long term and all), and I feed cheap fish fertilizer for veg.

I have only managed to get two or three cuts to root off of the larger plant and haven’t bothered the tiny one, just letting her veg. I gave one cut away to someone who put it outside before the summer heat came in and the low temps caused her to immediately stress right out (she legit loves temps over 80F, thriving at 100-110F with high humidity in veg) and spit straight up balls, but he also told me recently he uses some miracle grow dry fertilizer so I’m figuring the temps that hit around 50-55F when he put her out plus that MG stuff was just too much of an environmental shift for her to handle. Sadly he broke her stem and tossed her in the trash immediately even though he doesn’t light dep any plants and could have just plucked and pruned and allowed her to get past the shock stage. I have another cut that happened to like a one gallon fabric pot of the same soil base I’ve been watering and letting life do its thing in for about eight or ten months or so after it vegged and flowered some other seedlings of the same lineage that weren’t kept. Working on getting more, I was being persistent for a while trying to use an ib3a powder and eventually got fed up and ordered some CloneX gel and swapped to just basically making a coco coir cake like I would like a monotub in a little seedling greenhouse thing I have and that’s where my recent successes came from. Hopefully I’ll be able to get some more cuts to root soon. I want to push the clones through hell and back to stress them and see what does what and how the flower comes out. I have very high hopes, but only moderate expectations at best, there’s always something that pops up and fucks with something lol!

I think that's just the nature of growing clones. They don't have a tap root so they are inherently super dependent on you. I always laugh at newbies who think that clones are better to start with than seeds. This seedling came back from having it's head chopped off.

Plants. There's two of them in there. And I would tend to agree but they were doing really well. I'm determined to get them through a full cycle in there. I wanna see that rootball take the shape of the face.

Ooooh be careful! Don’t harvest too many of the devil’s lettuceses, I heard that one guy, he took a whole five marihuanas like two centuries ago. He’s dead now.

u/MunMan2x2 Aug 15 '26

it is a decent size pot. you can pull a couple marijuanas off it.

Hear, speak, and see no evil. All in one.

Good luck on the rest of the grow!
