Well, crap...no I didn't flush the mamas...

What both you and mygirls said seems to make pretty good sense...and I apparently had the wrong idea about N--I surely appreciate the help & fortunately I am right at 2/3wk veg w some other lil ladies (BB and a Hollands Hope--which btw the mother of the HH just yielded a lil over 10oz per plant under 1K's--of course she belonged to my mentor, I hope to get half of that..lol)

--so I'm going to cut some back ups this week--I only cut those others bc I had some mystery strain that I dubbed "the grinch", i know it seems harsh to speak that way of a plant--but this one was a real WITCH--got all stretchy--wanted to choke out others--the ONLY plant that remained susceptible to mites despite spraying every damn wednesday w einstein and azamax--anyway--just terrible--LOW producer, starting to seed up on bottom of several buds (the others are fine--no seeds, little to no mite infest--I've had a fan placed to keep the witch's BS blowing away from the others and she was moved to where she can't touch em with her long scraggly menacing branches--anyway--before I realized how she was going to develop (as she was a vigorous vegger) she ended up being 2 of my 5 cuttings (the ones that are now about 3 week veg)...

Well, at about 5 week flower when I saw her true colors (really, she's like a big grinch scowling over my garden of blueberry "whos") I freaked and got rid of them--with only left me w 3 in veg!! (and I really like to have at least 4-5) so, short story long--had to take emergency cuts off the bb's at 5 week flower--and that HH was just given to me today and is about 11 in tall--not sure how long they had her veggin--but she looks great...

I hope to share pics soon--I'm very proud of all my girls--the ones flowering now are freakin AMAZING..my first garden again in over two years--it will almost be sad to cut em down in a few weeks...

geez what a ramble--I drank some Dogfish Head Punkin Ale today, fell asleep @ 8:30, woke up at two in the morning and started drinking coffee of all things and smoking bong hits--the combination makes me rambletype..
I really love this site..my mentor can only help me so much anymore--he got lazy and his girl pretty much takes care of alot of it--and she doesn't even smoke--anyway--she acts a little greedy with knowledge/help and has steered me wrong here and there (like giving me that grinch knowing full well what it was like and had even got it out of their garden before it could ever finish blooming --but instead of destroying her cutting of it--she gave it to ME!! After I mentioned that the mystery plant seemed a lil "funky" she then informed that "OH YEAH--I GOT RID OF THAT --IT WAS A NIGHTMARE"...'no shit, really..??

I do that too. I get roots faster on the clones i trim the leaves on.

Oh yeah!! Thick healthy white roots coming through as of yesterday!!!! Thanks for the youtube clip--i'm going to try that in the next few days--never have cut fans like that before--always just removed the big ones...it looks like a great start for some healthy bushes

anyway--i will start my own thread pretty soon--feel kinda bad for that long personal ramble in this, another member's, thread...
