Those secondaries we tied down...I mean you tied down....will all be nice bud shoots for ya.

Otherwise, you would have had a few buds...but now you will have several.

Any prehairs yet?

If she turns out to be male I gonna be limp hard on indeed :D

harddon instead off toppin the plant can u get one off them small flouros and use it 4 that purpose?will that do the same job as toppin? and toppin, man do u just cut the top few inches regardless offf the groth on the top off the plants, especialy when a few i have have hairs coimin from the top, is that preflower, r a sign of a female? r jus natural growth?
ps the trimmin job i fucked up, well i have been doin everythin besides sleepin with them and they r comin along nicely, i have time on my side as i can veg as long as needed 4 new fans 2 grow but as 4 the rest off the plants, im keepin the siol dry and doin what u suggested and harddon, i can see them holdin there own(good little plants)any way i learnt my leson toppin this time, just wann get this grow done so i can start fresh with what iv learned from every1 here and mistakes i have maid, i enjoy, makin mistakes and learnin from them, 4 instance while higherin the lights one plant got crushed and 2 leaves thorn off, so i gave it a drink nd back under the lights and man, a few weeks since it hasppened now and u would never know, hardy little plants

Just a quick Day 42 update...six weeks down and one to go before flowering. I'll quit boring ya'll with daily pics and throw one up each week, but it's been a BIG help to get all the feedback.

One thing I know for sure: if you are doing a basic grow (it's all I know), then it's crazy not to bend and tie. Why cut up a perfectly good plant when you can tie it down and have the secondaries go berserk?

Okay, so maybe if I top and see amazing results...

Anyway, here's Hardonna's six week photo:

Number one...

I aint bored....so continue with the updates, please.

I study you pics very thoroughly and am watching which buds are which and want to see each and every one and how and where they begin to flower.

I am learning here as much as you so please, keep posting, as I need the knowledge.

Number 2....

I agree with the philosophy of bend and tie as opposed to topping. :D

We all know how I feel about topping UNLESS its for sercurity or height reasons :)

Numnber 3...

I am about to sit here and get stoned... :)

Off some WHORE :)

Does anyone realizee how much I miss Whore?

I loved her so much. She was my baby and she is such a good smoke....

I think I am gonna be sad....

Dont be sad Harddon ..

Blaze one for me

Oh, hey, okay HD...I'll keep posting.

As to Whore, you just gotta remember the Circle of Life...like from Buddhism and, well, The Lion King:

~The grass grows on the Serengeti
~Man smokes the grass
~The lion eats the man
~The lion is shot by poachers and eaten
~Poachers take a crap on the Serengeti
~The grass grows on the Serengeti


It's a beautiful thing. Like a rainbow!

LOL......What a fuckin philosiphy.....LMFAO, thats cool as fuck, man.

Donâ??t be sad hard on

Your little girl fulfilled her purpose

May we all be so lucky. :)

Just a quick Day 44 update...

Still can't confirm sex. No balls, but still no obvious hairs. She now has her own 4 CFL's. She's drinking two liters of bottled water every other day and seems to love the bat guano tea every third watering. Secondary stems are getting really fat.

Out of 13 plants, the two that are mostly sativa have now shown their sex...and both have the telltale hairs growing out of the pod next to the stipules.

So I have two females and 11 unknowns (including Hardonna).

No celebrating at all...in fact, I'd trade in the 12 siblings for Hardonna to turn out female.

But here's a pic of Schoolgirl and Roachclip. Both 44 days old, bent and tied really hard once from above the top fan leaves and anchored at to the bottom of their main stem. Roachclip, in fact, was the one I bent too hard and thought I'd killed her top growth, but she just kept growing...

Just for future references, it is kinda pointless to tie and bend a sativa plant. They hardly ever need it unless its for height control.
