Here are Wilma and Veronica. Veronica is the other slutty clone with pistils. You can barely spot them in that photo. That's it for yesterday, day 61/34 for the big girls and day 20 for the clones.
Oh yeah, almost forgot! Here's a pic of what I know as a pud of nasty bong bowl oil. Oh well, it got me baked and I still have lots left. :D
I should have today's stuff up later but I'm not making any promises this time. ;)
-canuck :jointsmile:
Oh and in post #68 there I was speaking as if it was yesterday, shit that's probably confusing since I only did it once. Sorry but I was writing it from that point of view. :jointsmile:
(written as if this were ongoing)
This ends week 5 of flower for the big girls, and week 3 for the little clones.
The upwards growth seems to be slowing. Lucy's at 25 1/4" and Mercedes is just over 19" at her highest point. Energy seems to be going to the buds judging from the scent change. It's getting really fruity and to me it smells like mango. I wouldn't be upset if it were Somango or something. :)
Bring in zee clones!!!
The clones need water every couple days which is awesome. They look great. I topped Jane today. She's at the 4th node or so and looks fine... except for a purple stalk. :( Jane was topped and started training. Veronica is a guinea pig for some NST (No Stress Training) that I read about on icmag.

(close up pics are all Lucy)
3 of Lucy, 2 of Mercedes. Lucy looks really nice! Buds are getting fatter and more dense. :jointsmile:
2 of Mercedes, the second I pulled the 2 biggest colas together for a pic. Then 3 more of Lucy... I couldn't resist getting a pic of those little buds. :jointsmile:
I moved the clones so they each have their own light today, except I moved them together for the group pic. I had to top Jane (one of the ones with pistils) and tie her up! She was around the 4th node or so.
It's pretty hot with 6x 27W CFLs in there!
I read about NST (no stress training) so I decided to try it out. I have no idea how it works past the first part, but I'll figure that out when the time comes. You just lay the plant on its side and it bends up. But then the next time you want to bend it how do you prevent certain parts from bending? You tie them I guess. I sort of doubt whether this is less stressful than LST but it's fun to try it anyway. :)
Lucy and Mercedes have definitely slowed down. They're around 25 1/2" and 19 1/2" respectively. That must mean all their focus is on producing FAT BUDS! :rastasmoke: :dance:
I'll just make with the pics because I have friends here and I'm ignoring them. :)

(close ups are Lucy again :))
Close ups are Lucy, after the side shot of Mercedes it's all Mercedes after that. :jointsmile:
One of Mercedes 2 little tops. Then a bunch of the clones. Third is Oprah (front) and Veronica at the back. 4th is Jane at the back and Wendy in front. Last is Wilma, small but very green! :jointsmile:
I'm out for tonight. I didn't snap any pics today. I think I need a new fan soon! This one just can't pull enough air through the cab. Now I know why everyone urged me to get a Vortex. :) I'll figure it out.

Today I gave both girls straight water. The run off's pH was 5.6-5.8 so that's good. Mercedes just isn't fattening up like Lucy but she still looks like she'll yield more. They look great and Lucy seemed to like the plain water. There's not much to say, which is a good thing I think. :D
The clones are doing great. They have 5+ nodes and are growing really quickly and keeping stout. bcchronic started training Oprah today. Veronica is the clone I'm trying that No Stress Training on. She was fully bent up towards the light so I flipped her over so she faces the ground. This way the nodes underneath are now on the top and I think I'm starting to see how this could work without tying anything. Jane barely flinched at the topping and her limbs are starting to grow pretty quick. :thumbsup:
The clones are more fun than the big girls these days. :) Here are 2 pics of both girls, 2 of Mercedes and 1 of Lucy.
