Lady #5:

This is the original lady. She started 4-5 weeks before the other. She was my only survivor out of an initial set of 18 plants. Very strong and robust she made it through all of the horrible things I did that the other plants couldn't tolerate.

It's amazing the strength this plant has to bounce back. Had I taken care of her properly I have no doubt that she would have made some very fat buds.

Unfortunatley me and this plant have a love/hate relationship. She was very beautiful, lush and looked promising in vegetative state. However in flowering she's never really matched up to what I felt she should have looked like. Her buds form at a very slow rate. In addition to this her colas are very small in comparison to her sisters that started vegetative state 4 weeks before she did.

If I had to do it all over again I don't think I would have allowed for the plant to go into flowering with so many colas. Has in the neighborhood of 50 side shoots. Of which 30-40 are colas or trying to be. Give a second chance I would cut all the scrawny shoots and only would've have left the strongest looking 15-20. I would've given the plant a week and a half to recover and then I would've lollipopped the first 3-4" of the bottom of the remaining colas. Given it another week to heal and then put it into flowering. I think this would've given me better results. All in all I think the problem is that the plant has too many cola's for it's size. Dividing nutes between all these colas as well as all of them fighting for light through a tight/crowded canopy I feel has let to the lack of heavy weight production we see here.

This plant I think will still give me about 3 oz if I'm lucky. Originally I was anticipating around 5-7oz or so, but I've given up hope on this plant putting on any bulk. It has tons of tiny budlets that will never mature and it's too late for me to strip them without herming the plant. It's a shame too.. it smells orange/citrus like with a combination of diesel. Really unique scent.
