well, thanx a lot.....the records i keep are over here in this site....this place has become my virtual growing diary...over here i post everything i do and have done so far....i really value the suggestions and opinions of the members here....there are many wise people writting in this forum and that makes it a great place to visit and be part of it....the feedback i get is really helpful....as for the mistakes....the gratest mistake i did so far, is, that i used cow manure into 5 out of 9 of my ladies right from the start.....for the other 4 i used soil that is special for flowering plants.....the result was that my 4 ladies (in the good soil) look like giants next to the other 5 (which i eventually reduced into 4)......one thing i did though, was to put the seeds into 2 gallon buckets straight away so as to avoid any problems with transplanting them.....i transplanted the plants that were into the cow manure and they have grown ever since.....i know it's hard, but this is my only mistake so far.....i haven't seen any problems with overwatering or overfertilising....so far i think i am doing good, they look good and happy.....the big ones have loads of branches and around 20+ tops/future bud sites each....i have trained all of them, tied them down and have not regret it at all.......i look forward for the new light to come.....soon i will post the new fotos of my garden.....i'm sooooooo excited.....
