2 amateurs armed with bag seed and a closet

2 close up of Mercedes and then 3 of Lucy. They are both bulking up really nicely! I cannot get over Lucy's scent. It's just so good. :jointsmile:

More Lucy. She is definitely the sluttier of the two. :jointsmile:

Oh yeah I'm glad I got a pic of this. This is a great illustration of why you shouldn't trim leaves at random. I wanted to get a good pic of this but I forgot. Since the light's off I just GIMPed this pic so people can see what I'm talking about. We probably cut this off to give light to a bud site. Oh the irony! :jointsmile: :rastasmoke:

edit: they've been well rotated and such too.

Ok I don't know when these cease to be clones and are just vegging plants. I hear when they're alternating and have 7+ nodes they're no longer clones but I guess there are no real definitions. I'm going to call them the clones for a while longer. :)

So yeah, they are doing great! I'm trying to get Wendy and Wilma(3rd pic) to stretch a little so they're further from the light. Same with Jane the shrub(2nd pic). I think she may make a good bonsai mom one day. Oprah(4th pic) has really dense nodes and she was topped the other day by bcchronic. She didn't seem to flinch and kept growing. Veronica, well she's doing alright (last pic). Nothing spectacular from her yet but I think I may have FIMed her, actually missed and FIMed her that is. I tried to top her. By the time the big girls are ready I should have a couple of these clones ready to go into that cab... or a new one if I can get something to fit the cool tube properly. That would be nice and I have my eye on a cab that dropped $50 in price recently. ;)

-canuck :jointsmile:

Oh yeah, I'm feeding the big girls 500ml every 3 days or so when they need it. 30ml/gal Pure Blend Pro, 10ml/gal each Liquid Karma and Thrive Alive, 1tbsp/gal molasses, pHed to the low sixes. After one more week they'll get just water and maybe molasses every other feeding or something. We're guessing they'll be ready in 9 weeks or so, so 49 days should be good to stop feeding. I think Mercedes might go longer but we'll have to see. She's eating more and I'm actually giving her a little more than 30ml/gal PBP because she seems to want it.

The clones are getting some crappy home depot nutes with LK, thrive alive, and some molasses-derived stuff from BioBizz that was a free sample at the grow shop, NPK is 1.8-0.X-6.6 or something. bcchronic just gave his girl Oprah the biobizz stuff and water last time he fed her. I bought some AN "Barricade" which is a potassium silicate. Zandor said that it strengthens cell walls of stems and that it's useful if you're tying your bitches up so I'm going to give it a try. I haven't started giving it to them yet because they seem small but I will soon because I am training them already.

Lookin' good man! Definitely healthier than mine!

Hey shov and madhatter. Thanks for stopping by the log! :)

I found out something about our strain today. I met up with my buddy who's bag of weed we got the beans from and he said the grower created this strain himself. It's not stable yet so that could account for the different aromas between the 2 ladies. Anyway he said that he'd try and get the guy to meet up with us sometime so we could talk about it and find out what the parents are and everything. That'll be fun, I can't wait!

lucy's looking mighty fine there, I can tell how much you care for her. As crazy as this seems I'm just starting flowering and it makes me kinda sad because that means that I'll have to chop them down and kill them and it seemsso cruel after spending hour a day getting to know each individual and care for her needs. But in the end you know the ladies will do you right if you did right by them and it looks like you have.

Hey Chrissy thanks for stopping by! :) I kinda know what you mean about harvesting. It's sort of like raising a calf until it's a big, juicy cow and then eating it. Honestly I can't bring myself to feel bad about it though. :jointsmile:
