~~Hans Solo~~ Day 23

Both plants started to show their first signs of preflowers yesterday after work, so the sudden vertical growth should be coming along shortly. Nothing else exciting happening really, aside from the odd LST adjustment - both plants doing good with no problems so far.

20140212_185420.jpg...original plan was to keep the stronger plant out of the two. Well, I got attached and now plan on growing them both in this tiny ass box....bitches be ravin'
20140212_161952.jpg...the FIM'd one, I tied down the lower 2 branches to get some more coverage area. Most of the tops getting some height now :bigjoint:
20140212_164408.jpg...the topped one! What can I say? Growing like a symmetrical beast and I love it.

~~Hans Solo~~ Day 31

Bud sites have pretty much finished establishing themselves at this point, I think they are just going to start filling in from here on out. Not much to say really, things are going quite smooth! It's really hard to believe these plants were the same clones in the first few pics. Oh, as you can see I've removed the LST - it's not really needed anymore at this point and the branches are firm enough that they are holding the shape I formed. Now that I know what the mom can produce I've got some expectations :p

20140220_234939.jpg...FIM'd one, just a few inches over a foot tall now. She is fitting nice and snug inside the box with her sister.
20140220_235144.jpg...FIM'd one - top view, she seems to have settled on 8 main tops(2 of them are below foliage from the other stems).
20140220_235319.jpg...FIM'd one, buds starting to develop at the internodes.
20140220_235431.jpg...Topped one, couple centimeters taller than her sister but her other stems aren't as hearty - except she has an additional main stem lol.
20140220_235531.jpg...Topped one - top view, this one has a few more main tops(lots of them under foliage on the back side) but they definitely aren't as tall or thick as they are on the FIM'd one.
20140220_235551.jpg...Topped one - top cola developing.


At the rate things are going these plants should both be ready just in time for 4/20 :joint:

Things keep chugging along smoothly :hump:

I had been giving them a 15-20% dose of veg nutes along with the flower feeding because I was seeing a minor N deficiency, but over the past few days I've noticed that I have given the girls slightly too much veg nutes. Yesterday I gave her a good flush with some plain water, and I'm going to let her dry out a bit before I give them another feeding. The plants are now about 15/16" tall and aren't really showing much signs of anymore vertical growth. They sure look beautiful, I love checking on them every day when I get home from work...lol

20140224_233204.jpg...Fim'd - this one has got 11 tops, with 2-3 looking weaker than the others.

20140224_233527.jpg...Topped - this girl has 14 tops, with 3-4 that look weaker than the rest. I tied back her middle fan leaves to open up the lower tops to more light exposure.

Nice little setup in a server box! The girls look great too!
Had to Sub this one.
Good luck.

Thanks, and good eye Cat! I'm surprised nobody made a comment before about WORKSTATION being on the front of the box :)

The box is actually multiple HP-small form factor desktop boxes cut up and pieced together! It was actually accidental that the text lined up so perfectly, it makes me chuckle.

Thanks for the tips BSD, I'll look into those ratios.

Thanks, and good eye Cat!
You said good eye! I laughed.
I took this name because my son's cat lost an eye when she ran into a moving car 3 years ago.
Hasn't stopped her from getting in the windows and on any clothes that are a different color than her though.
