Hah! 3 cases is doable, though. Nobody would think that's out of the ordinary for me.
Soooo.. not much new today.. except that Top44 #1 is 100% A GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!! YEEEEEEHAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! That's right.. she finally lifted that skirt up and showed me some sweet white-haired bush! The funny part about it is that I'd been hunting a little bit under leaves and such for a single white hair (or balls) as a tip off, but when I pulled back the top leaves a touch, I found a huge patch of hairs. There's like 8-10 on the top cola just hiding inside a big bunch of new leaf matter. Once I found that, it was so damned obvious that I didn't even need a picture to ask you guys with. That said, I am still trying to find time for a quick photo op before my small vacation next week. Her name is now Beatrice.
Now.. I know you all don't have any pictures to go by, but it seems like her fans are really starting to obstruct the new growth. What are my realistic options here on such a small plant? Should i paper clip them or something? Prune? I need more light penetration, for sure, but I'm not sure what's best for the plant of those 2 options or if there are some other options I'm unaware of.
Also, Citral #1 is getting massive under that veg. lighting. Since my plans have changed for it, I'm going to take a clone tonight. I'm going to leave 2 nodes on it, which will give me 3 nodes (including top) to clone with. Regarding changing plans, I'm going to take a clone now and, once rooted, I'll flower the clone to show sex, then back to veg. I'm hoping to take a few more successful clones over time because I've decided that, since I'll be going to this 6 cup model w/ several strains, I have no room for a big planter. If I can be certain of sex with a clone, I'll try to take as many clones as I can and only leave one clone (of each strain) in a veg. cup while I'm on big vacation this summer. The rest of the Citral will go into the flower tower over that 2 weeks.
I'm very nervous about the 2 weeks and potentially drying out all of my plants, but I've got little choice else unless my state goes legal before the vaca (possible).
