So I have two back dangling arms that are holding themselves up by the back of the cab. So I once again used the string and binder clips, this time to tie her up so she can get some strength on her upper arms. I wish I could strengthen my upper arms by just tying up a string

The back two arms of this thing were just dangling when I put her in the bath. So I used the string and binder clips again, this time to make her arms strong enough to hold her buds. I put a clip in the vent hole and two on each side of the pot and then just lay her branches on the string. When I water, I'll just unclip the two clips on the pot until she comes back in the cab. (I've got to add more insulation and reflectix where the top shelf used to go to keep the light out. It looks like a mess now.)

I've had this PK since 4/1. She was a clone and has been the slowest growing plant. There's a pic of her with TW when she was leaving veg last month (first pic in diary). She was 5" tall. Well, today she is 10". I ordered more flower lights and as soon as they get here this week, she'll go on 12/12.

I found three seeds in a bag of goo I got from a friend. She popped in two days of grow medium and went into a pot and outside on 5/18. She spent her first 3 days out there in wind and rain and then a week of high 90's (way higher in that patio with the glare). She just went through another few days of a thunderstorm, but is still growing. She's 10" tall. I'm not sure of the two smelly plants to her left, but there's lots of lilac in pots to her right. If I bend a branch of any of those plants surrounding her, it stinks to high heaven. Hopefully, all will be confused during harvest.

Today trainwreck had a bath and I added two teaspoons of Super Bloom. When I did that ten days ago, I could sit in there and watch her grow ~ well almost. I took her off her strings (only two days up) and she flopped her way into the bath. While she was draining, I tied two more strings for the front so the two front sides could stand up and hold their weight.

Her feeding schedule has been Schultz 10-15-10 every watering (every two days) since she was transplanted. In flower she's getting the additional Super Bloom every 10 days. She's had that once so far and every time I went in that room, she had more buds that same day!

I sat on the floor yesterday morning and counted 102 buds on the right side and blew off counting the left (where I think there's even more). I'd like to see all four arms (there's actually two smaller arms also) have all buds grow together to make two foot tall colas.

Thanks, Ind, but I'm not asking for comments or questions in this journal until after the harvest. Thanks again.

It's been awhile, but I couldn't see that much new to post. Although I did get the dreaded dirt fungi gnats in all plants and have been busy soaping them out. I use dishwashing soap in spray bottle and also really doused them with a soap bath. After the soap bath they looked the best color green yet. They loved it and the bugs came back. The pix of dishes around the plants are filled with soapy water and they need dumping of dead bugs all day. Also have the Hot Shot pest strips which I just saw a gnat using as a ladder.

The trainwreck will not be coming out of her cage for the duration of her flowering. She's being watered in her ties as her budlie arms are too hard to manage when moving her. She's got some amber coming out and I'm figuring she'll go another month. She went into flower on 5/28.

She's got some new lights which are equaling about 12K on just the one plant. Her doors are open when I'm home and additional light and fan are on. She has 6000K in there with the door shut. Stays cool with the CFL's and no hot bulbs to worry about.

I fed TW with SuperBloom (12-55-6) the other day and after she dried I gave her two teaspoons of molasses in two quarts of water. As soon as I opened it, I remembered being made to swallow that for a sore throat as a kid. I think these buds have gotten bigger and the very small branches on the bottom now have 5 little buds each. I can't believe those little toothpick arms down there can even hold themselves up. Intake and exhaust PC fans and the white one in the pix blow all through sleep. The outside fan and additional lights are on 10 of the 12 hours of their daylight.

I never in a million years thought I could grow something like this.

Here's the latest of the wreckster. I wish I could post her stench. I'm starting to notice some smell when I come through the door which is downstairs and way away from where TW resides.

Her branches are way heavy and every morning I open her doors, I pray they didn't drop off her strings. There are some "elbows" of clumps in there that I just can't capture with the camera, but I tried.

She's still getting her Schultz 10-15-10 every other day and her Super Bloom 12-55-6 weekly. I also added molasses last week and IMO she turned browner over-night. I worried I pushed her into finishing and I want her to go to the third week of July, minimum.

There's four arms with large colas and 3 or 4 smaller arms growing baby colas. And once again ... I love that lady!
