Check my Sig. below.......
Googlie says …Sapere aude; "Dare to know"; and loosely translated as “Have courage to use your own reason”, or even more loosely as "Dare to be wise".
I will “have courage” wait n see. Looking through everything I can find it will be ok in time, but sure screws up my plan for a 7 day dry of all 3.
Guess my beginners good luck run had to end at some time. Pretty sure it’s from light pollution from the neighbours and the apartment block next door.

Another way of putting it is "Trust yourself & your own knowledge".

You're doing great.

Must be week 2 for me as well, they look very similar. I’ve squished all my girls wide. On the screen side and the opposite side due to sun availability. 2 seem like they did a re-veg cause they are far behind the one in the closeup pic. All would be well over 6 foot without the ties.
Great looking setup, and hopefully the passage of the sun is favourable. Not as familiar with growth habits outdoor as I am (not much) familiar with indoor, but aren't they going to stretch once they go into flower, I mean like stretch way above what they are now?
The excitement surely is palpable, and that only increases as the weeks go by..
I am sure you will keep us posted.

Cannot have plants finishing weeks or a month apart so I’m killing the 2 that re-vegged. Plenty of reasons (some listed in my journal). Sorry to post such a horrible photo. The girl that didn’t re-veg will yield all I need.
I had a look at your journal photo's & couldn't see evidence of re-vegging, but they're your plants, so it's your decision. It's a bit of a shame that they're so big, or you probably could palm them-off to someone to take them away in the dead of night & finish them.

Hopefully, everything will continue to plan with the remainder.

I feel good after getting rid of one. And I’m gunna treat the remaining re-vegging girl as keepable but expendable.
Here’s a pic of the girl that is flowering normally.

And here’s a pic of the girl that I think has re-vegged. She has no bud sites…

I can see a few of your leaves doing a VERY slight right-hand turn at the very tips, but that's nothing to worry about & not what could be considered typical re-veg. growth (it takes a few weeks to manifest). I wouldn't consider that re-vegging or anything to cause a call-to-arms for chopping.

Bear in mind that you're going to get differences in phenotype within a genotype & there will always be differences in their expression/flowering time.

You're perfectly fine, but you've probably gone off a bit half-cocked on this one. Don't worry about it. You made a decision & stuck to it:clap:

There will be others..........:)

I’m really happy with the decision….3 huge plants and their yield is not personal use, 2 can be considered person use. I’m in a rented apartment and share a balcony (separated by a screen) with people who are moving out and putting their apartment up for rent. We can each see into each-others balcony. The open inspection days are gunna freak me out!
Drying inside my apartment is also a huge factor and I was willing to seal off my bathroom, take quick and cold showers and piss in the kitchen sink, but only for a max of 7-8 days, Repeating the process two or three times over is a dealbreaker. Re-vegging or not they will definitely not be ready for harvest at the same time…I’m guessing a month apart at least.
My initial plan was to grow a single plant but it was recommended that I have backups in case things went wrong…I was also hoping for 10 ounces so have far surpassed expectations.
The second dry I’ll do outdoor in a cheap wardrobe…if it doesn’t work I don’t care as the second plant is for giving away.

Gone for trellis this round instead of bamboo stakes. Am not going to defol as heavy either, just a bit of weaving of the taller branches to even out the canopy as much as I can then let them go. Got another layer of trellis above to support the buds as this strain grows like an OG.

How are you going to manage the smell?

When they’re still outdoors I’m not/can’t manage the smell. Current neighbours are cool, and I asked them if they’d be ok with it before I started. Their open inspection days and new tenants are definitely a worry but that’s why having 2 plants rather than 3 is a factor…I’m thinking in a worst case scenario the law would see 2 plants as personal use (like the ACT) but more than 2 is commercial. My bathroom dry plan is solid and will be smell proof.

Your "cheap wardrobe" plan looks like something from a girls' "Magnificent/perfect home" magazine & there will be obvious smell considerations.

Here's a few re-veg. photo's of stuff I trashed recently for comparison:
DSCN3386.JPGDSCN3387.JPGDSCN3388.JPG

Already in flower from an indoor grow, but I put them out in the sunshine outdoors too early - I fucked-up.

You can see the original flowering colas, then the re-vegging stuff at the tops that screwed the plan.

I'm not overly fussed, as they were all clones of clones of clones & just put them out to pasture.

I'm going to start again from seeds.

I’m with you about not being overly fussed. And some of your tops look very similar to mine…new wiggly growth where bud should be. I’m sorry yours did that but as you say, no biggie. As long as we’re happy with the outcome that’s all that matters.
The wardrobe idea would be for the second dry and would be kept on my balcony…only my direct neighbours would know it’s me so as far as smell factor, I don’t care.

I always thought Trellis were vertical, regardless, with nothing better to do, I have three under there. I am so much looking forward to pulling it apart. So much .:bigjoint:
113 Days since cracked and 64 days since the flip to 12/12. No that I am counting.. :hump:
Bought myself a Dehumidifier last week, definitely not regretting that purchase.
May the grow Gods be with us all in this Great Southern Land even with its stupid laws. Vote when it counts..
