I am testing some late outdoor Indica harvest, so I will most likely have to edit
Materials are:
-One piece of press'n seal. (I have cut out a section that contains almost NO printing-the printing looks just like roots)
-Small sections of the plug you see in the corner. To be used to a)create a more non leak seal at the bottom of the plug and b) to fill in a small gap in the plug.
-Twisties (used the ones from the store where you write the bulk food #)
The 2nd two pics are a front and back of the unwrapped plug (AL site)
Roots are there. Just seems very slow. In pic 3 they are hanging from the side, in the next there is a clumping on the bottom.
I have her in cool conditions and minimal light. That and the less than perfect seal on the plug may be leading to the slowness.
So I rewraped her.
I had to be very careful not to dislodge the plug as this may disturb the roots' bases
I tucked in my little pie/wedge to fill the gap, touchy procedure.
I then managed to wrap the two trimmed up strips of the plug material around the base of the plug site and begin the wrap from the bottom up. Another touchy procedure as I didn't want to crush the external, or disturb the internal roots. This spongy material, under the presure of the twisties should create a better seal. The base of the stem is not round, it has a crease in it, and led to leaking.
I then did a quick trim of exess wrap and used those wide twisties to clamp the bottom and top. I used pliers to get it tight. (note: I wouldn't think of going this tight on a green/growing site)
You can see the syringe tool sticking out of the plug/wrap in pic 4. I fed water in to that small hole and found I had a great seal. Pic 4 was taken just before the last strawfull went in. The white 'bubble' you see in the upper left dissapeared.
I sealed the hole with one of those sticky page holders.
I fully expect to be repotting in a week or so now that she has a new outfit and is going to bask in some warmer/brighter light.
Shes my baby, a cross from two quality bag seeds. Hit the pheno jackpot. Sativa, bigtime.
