Lookin at this pic, I'm wonderin if you've not been tempted to LST her over towards the empty side of the bottle. Try and promote a whole bunch of budsites all along her, rather than just having that top cola.

ur right of course and i will be training her to the other side of the bottle, the plan is when the branches are in-line with the wire running either side of the bottle i will
then lst her down the length of the bottle.
i have topped her and am hoping to get 2 main colas, which will also be lst`d one either way.
hope this explanation is clear.
thx for the advice/input.
happy growing

took mewk`s advice and lst`d her, not bloody easy though, thx mewk would have been harder if i had left her longer.
light is definately penetrating through the canopy.
watered her with 1/2 strenght nutes for the first time and have officially started the flower cycle.
here`s hoping
happy growing guys.

thx reku, i`m keeping my fingers crossed.
now i`ve put her into the flower cycle its a pain not being able to open the pc box up and have a look.
i did take a cutting and will veg for a couple of weeks, hopefully she lives.

thx weariedjuggler, i had a look at ur stealth dresser, great design and setup, congrats.
have u started a thread on ur ww`s? it wud be good, like u said, to compare.
i only did the bottle cause i couldnt find a suitable pot, i`m beginning to think it might be to big though, the size of my ww is going to be big by the end i think, maybe a 1ltr
next time, we will see. also the beauty of it when i water, is that i can unscrew the cap and pour out excess.
btw in case any1 is thinking of using a bottle, put a couple of feet on, they stop the bottle rolling, i used curtain track spacers held on with carpet tape.
good luck and happy growing guys

When lsting her pull that main stem downward more and/or maybe supercrop the main stem so that its a 90 degree angle. If this isn't an auto you may have some problems down the road with how big she'll get because of how late you're starting to flower and how big she already is in respect to your space. Looking great so far though!!

hi n0tmycupoftea, last night i started lst`ing the main stem by pulling it down towards the cap end of the bottle,
i`m going to keep pulling her down in small measures.
she is`nt an auto, she was a free seed with an order of chem valley kush seeds, incidently i also recieved
a ww x bb and a cheese seed free but decided to try the ww first.
i may well go for auto`s in the future but i read at the time auto`s are not as strong and coming from a place
where any type of mj is difficult to get hold of i wanted the strongest high i could grow in a pc, if all that makes
sense, well it did in my head.
the reason i started flower after 4 weeks and 4 days, and not sooner is that i messed her up at the beginning
and felt i should let her do some catching up. but looking back on it ur correct i should have started flowering
after 3 weeks.
hope i didnt harp on to much and thx for the advise and input.
please keep it coming it always helps.
good luck and happy growing.

hi n0tmtcupoftea, well i took ur advice on super cropping, the damn plant is so fcuking bushy and to think its another 8/9 weeks, thx for the advice.
watered her tonight and she smells/looks just fine.
its gonna be a long wait till harvest, considering i`ve only had about 8 grams of pollen to smoke this year so far, it was a nice smoke though.
on a plus side i`m off to prague in 2 weeks, ;-)
happy growing and good luck

nice grow man, a couple q's

1) you said you wanted to take cuttings? do you know its a female? i usually won't take cuttings in flowering unless i know it's a female and plan to reveg everything.

2) do you have someone to take care of your baby while you go to prague? that's awesome, have always wanted to visit there. travel was always a bitch when i was growing (keeping up the watering schedule/ whatnot)

hey perdrick thx for dropping by, the ww is feminised, so i`m hoping she turns out to be female, if not i will grow the mj and crossbreed any female plants i get in the
future, i was thinking of pollenating 1 or 2 collas. i would grow him in my bedroom by the window untill i bag some pollen so as not to contaminate the pc box.
i only took a cutting, which is now dead, as the mj is growing flat along the soil, well the first 3" is, and the cutting was really small due to no light.
my misses will be looking after her but she only has to turn the lights on and off, i wil water b4 i go and when i get back.
i`m off to prague on a stag party of 4 guys for 4 nights, we are staying in the penthouse at http://aaario.eu/ which has a strip bar 2 floors down, didint know at the time, 1 of those
freakish twists of luck, we dont get into prague untill 10pm so that is the first night taken care of. hopefully we will be smoking some good weed and snorting some good
shit, ;-).
i`ll let u know if prague is as good as ppl say.
good luck and happy growing

hey mr.lightgr3en great to hear from you.
glad to hear ur wr is growing well, 1 week or so difference is quite a bit, i`m sure ur plant will bush out nicely in that time.
i hear u, lets hope we`ve got 2 birds in bush rather than none in the hand.
i`m gonna go out on a limb here and say mine is a female, i have super cropped her, in a small way, and dried and smoked the leaf, i defo get
a high off it and if i`m correct the thc content in females is higher than in males, tempting fate and all that i know. its desperate, but when u havnt had
a smoke for like ages.........its better than nothing.
looking forward to seeing some pics of ur wr.
good luck and happy growing.

another update, she (hopefully) is looking and smelling damn fine.
the lst is getting easier, isnt it great to see the branches actually forming the way u want.
first time pc and first time lst, keeping my fingers crossed.
good luck and happy growing guys
