Well I'm back home, whew. I made it back and the airlines lost my luggage with the seeds in it.......damn it . They say they find 99% of them we will see. My babies are doing great, even the one the door fell on before I left. They are now 2 months old and their growth is unbelievable in my humble opinion. They have been fed a very light foliar feeding every 3 days. I guess the proof of their happiness is in the picture.
The big girls, Mary is now in her 4th week of flowering and not along as well as I hoped, but from bag seed you never know what you get. Mary is now over 8 feet tall though and is the shorter of the two but many more buds. Jane is now over 9 feet tall and looks like she started flowering while I was in the States. I have started yesterday feeding them a light foliar feed of 12-55-0 to encourage the flowers. If anyone has any suggestions on making Mary's Flowers bigger I would be happy to hear from you.
I also was able in the states to find rockwool and started 4 new babies yesterday in my new greenhouse..... yeah. My grounds keeper and I start cutting poles for the big greenhouse this week where I hope to have my new plants grow. More pictures this week, keep looking and once again suggestions and comments are welcomed.

If you go to my gallery you can see the big girls Mary and Jane, they were just too big of files to post here sorry I guess I need to cut back on my pixels.

The babies got a new flowering room yesterday, pictures to follow soon. The room is maybe 3 feet by 5 feet and 6 feet in height. The babies will now go to bed about 3 or 4 in the afternoon to force flowering, since we have only 15 minutes between the longest day and the shortest.
Mary and Jane are both coming along nicely, Mary's flowers have doubled in size since their feeding on Saturday. Once again pictures to follow today or tomorrow so stay tuned. The clones are finally after weeks of not wanting to root taking off. The little greenhouse has really made them happy. I keep it about 80 to 85 in the day and it seems to stay in the upper 60's at night.

Good morning from somewhere in Central America, the babies are looking very good this morning. Mary and Jane entering their 6th and 2nd week of flowering are both coming along nicely. Mary the longest flowering and most typical in growth pattern is busting a gut growing her buds. They both have been fed again this morning with foliar feed a 20-55-01 feed the numbers are close I know the middle is 55 and the N2 is 20 or 22 anyway they are reacting well to being fed every Saturday, they also are getting fed a very week mix of peters 2 times a week. I know that sounds like lots of feeding but it is very weak and I have used this method for many years and it works for me. I finally figured out how to resize pictures to upload properly now so I hope to have more pics in the journal instead of just in the gallery. Good Growing to all

I am starting to get excited now, Mary the longest flowering of the babies seems to be exploding into bud. I have been so pleased the past week with the rate of change, the height hasn't changed much but the flowers have enlarged greatly. I am so pleased with the growth pattern of Mary, classicial to say the least. I have only taken a few dying leaves off the plant and started 6 clones off of one of the bottom branches. So, nature has ruled the pattern of her growth unlike the heavily pruned and trimmed Jane (pictures to follow).
Also, yesterday Pretty Girl surrendered 27 clones and doesn't seem fazed at all. This morning she is bright eyed and very alert if you will, I still have some trimming to do today to ensure proper airflow and light penetration for the next session.
