This nursery is actually usually pretty good with prices, but they won't allow customers to take the dirt themselves. You pay for what you want and then they send workers over to lift it and put it in your car. The bags are kept on pallets under tarps so I would have assumed they'd be dry, but when I took them out of the car a couple days later they were very heavy. Only 3 of the 5 bags were wet. I transplanted them with mycorrhizae and watered lightly for the first time. I don't water till runoff so I should probably start to now. I usually would just water a particular amount and then when the top 2 inches were dry then water again. I realize now that they probably haven't been getting fully saturated to the bottom. Tomorrow I am going to try a gallon each as all I have right now that is dechlorinated is a 5 gallon bucket full. Reading around online people say that is it typical to water about half of the capacity of the pot so for 5 gallons it would be 2-2.5 gallons.
There is definitely some issues going on with 2 of them, but the other 3 look fairly good and healthy. My only problem is that they are growing very very thick and bushy. This may be a good thing, but they are very dense and stiff. The leaves have 1/4" stems and the main stem is about 1/2". There are a lots of shoots, but the leaves and stiffness of the plant makes it hard for them to get good light to grow out of the shade. Being that its 6 weeks old I wanted to take some clones and throw them into flower around 3-5 weeks from now. I am nervous about taking the clones though as I've only done this with this skimpy branches. That's part of the reason why I was asking for advice on how to get it to grow taller. I want to add some length and take off some girth.
