Tubgirls! (and not THAT tubgirl!)

T.4 - 13 days old: sprouted 11.23... Doing her thing. Getting fat.

T.5 (The Bird) - 11 days old: sprouted 11.25... Doing fine.

T.6 (The Canoe) - 11 days old: sprouted 11.25... Still showing the "nute burn" thing, but that's slowing down. Woo hoo!

T.7 (The Runt) - 11 days old: sprouted 11.25... Still a runt, and the most "cabbage-like" of the group. I have a theory. Both previous plants were boys, and were extremely "cabbagey" in appearance. I'm thinking this might be an early indicator for this particular strain. But who knows? I'm prolly wrong.

Just curious... what's the advantage of growing in tubs rather than pots?

Esthetics?

No real advantage other than taking up less space: the tub fits in my closet easier than 5 buckets would - although 5 buckets would fit in there just as well.

Lots of room for the worms to play in. But again, a worm isnt going to notice the difference between a 5 gal bucket and a 10 gal tub.

Only reason I did it was I saw a pic of some tubs w/2 plants per, and I liked the look. The seeds that I had multiples of were this short, dense cabbage thing. So, the tubgirl project was born. Is kinda fun, eh?

I have a whole slew (43) of seeds from another indica strain that I'm trying out in a small sidegrow. Depending on how the trial plants run, I may do the tub thing again with those.

I put the screen onto the tub. It sits 8" above tub rim. It was rolled, so what I thought was 1" x 2" mesh is actually 2" square mesh. I'm thinking this might be a bit large(What do you think?), so I did not make permanent, only semi. I also have a chunk left over to where I could make a section of 1" square mesh in the middle of the 2" mesh.

You can see that T.2 is already pressed up against it. I'm plan on helping each branch go through it's own hole, which would ensure a separation of at least 2" between stems.

The cage makes it awkward to get in and out of the the closet. Already ripped the mylar. This means the branches will also be disturbed as the cage bangs into the door jamb, walls, etc. Will this be a problem? (other than being careful for "guillotine")

LOOKS GOOD

THANK GOD THIS WASNT A TUBGIRL.COM PICTURE!! HAHA OH THATS SO GROSS AND ITS BEEN ON THAT SITE FOR YEARS, I REMEMBER SEEIN THAT IN LIKE 7TH GRADE (8 YEARS AGO)

Here are the tubgirls as they came out this morning. According to "the plan", this is how I envision the stem placement through the screen. I am also considering throwing into bud on the Solstice (New Moon) instead of Jan 1st.

A quick look at the some of the trunks in the Short Forest.

T.2 is poking 4 branches through the screen. Almost 4 weeks old.

T.4 is almost at the screen.

T.5 - The Bird. Can't even tell why I named it that anymore. T5-T.7 are all 2 weeks old.

T.6 - The Canoe. The "nute burn" thing is still going on, but I am far from worried about it anymore. Seems to be doing fine.

T.7 - The Runt. I dunno If this one is gonna reach the screen by the time bud comes. You can see the "nute burn" on T.6, too.

:rastasmoke: Looking great man keep us posted :rastasmoke:

So the hot redhead came over and I convinced her to take some pics.

Woo hoo!

*pees himself a little*

It's a girl!
