Onc Twinkle
 
this is the clone fragrance fantasy. I have had trouble flowering it and only after I moved it to the much cooler basement did it bloom......not many blooms, but its better than nothing !
Unusual scent, perfumed and powdery. Grandmotherly....

So it's under lights? I have the same one only on a mount. I have a hard time keeping the leaves looking nice.

yep 2 T5HOs.
I wouldn't worry about the leaves. I have never seen a clean plant at shows!
I am going to move parts of mine to one of those mounted cylinders that were on BLF a few weeks back. Maybe not getting moisture on the leaves will help.

Do you mean a Kool Log? I have successfully mounted a few plants on those things. They work well. My twinkle is mounted on cork. For now at least.

yes, that's it. I bought them and haven't used any yet. Thinking of a masdie, but whatever I get has to be mini.

Nice!

Congrats on the blooms.

Congrats! So far I haven't ben able to get anything to bloom without putting it outside while the spike is forming. Cold is important, but wind seems to be too.

I agree to the powdwer scent. I have a pink twinkle and it smells the same.

mounted part of it on a kool log. You fill the centre of the log with water and it keeps the plant moist but not saturated. Evaporation keeps the plant cooler. I also have the mount above a humidifier fan.
We'll see how it works out....

How long has it been on this? My cork mount seems to be working and I won't change it but if I find another twinkle I may use a Kool log.
