Alright, so I really enjoy taking pictures of MIQ's growth and progress, as it's really nice to be able to look back to see a detailed progression. She is really beginning to fill out, and zebulon is certainly proven correct in that she was simply undergoing an extra growth spurt. The "stacking calyxes" were a good sign of growth in this instance rather than a sign of heat stress, which I should have known since there were no additional signs of heat stress - although I had thought I might have been over-fertilizing her, which was causing the "braided rope" appearance. Thanks again, zeb, for your experienced input!

The stacked calyxes have finally begun opening their sweet mouths to stick their double-tongued pistils out at the world! And, all of the new pistil development is a sight for sore eyes, as I was becoming impatient as to whether MIQ would really put on some bud weight. MIQ is now sporting 3 good-sized buds, with many more smaller bud sites here and there.

I unhooked the paper clip from around MIQ's neck and the side of the bucket, as with all of the rain we've been getting, her roots were beginning to pull out of the soil a bit. Also, the lst seems to have done the trick, and there doesn't seem to be much point now in keeping her lst'ed over, as the new bud sites are large enough to get plenty of sunlight. MIQ's main cola has grown accustomed to the lst, so I think it will remain in its present curved shape, allowing the other smaller bud sites to continue receiving plenty of sunlight.

I took a few pictures this morning, following a nice little rain storm earlier in the morning. I was even able to grab a decent picture of a rainbow that formed to the West.

I'll add some "up-closer" pictures in a follow-up post. As always, I hope you kick up your feet, and stay awhile. Enjoy!
