First grow, some pics, etc.

Here's the original of the untopped plants. Like her topped sister she's looking pretty crispy. In the third pic you can clearly see the spotting that led me to the Cal deficiency diagnosis. Quite a bit frostier than the topped one. Still mostly cloudy trichs with the odd amber.

Here's the one that was the runt. A couple weeks behind in flowering, kind of spindly b/c of lack of proper vegging. I'm kind of amazed though that this and the other untopped plant are almost exactly the same height (within a couple of centimeters). This one has yet to show signs of the Cal deficiency that the others showed. This one is in different soil than the other two though. They are in a mix of MG Organic Potting Mix and perlite, this one is in just "topsoil" and perlite (I'm pretty sure that's what the bag said, it's basically just washed dirt, much heavier and more dense than the MG mix). She is by far the frostiest, and has much bigger calyxs than the others, I'm really hoping that she takes well to re-vegging. It'll be interesting to see the difference in potency b/t this and the topped plant, if trich development is a good indicator of potency, then this one should be a beast. Trichs are pretty much all cloudy, an odd clear and an odd amber.

Well, there must have been a bit more Sativa in these ladies than I thought. They seemed to take forever to finish. I harvested today and they were only around 15-25%, but I did want harvest early in the window to emphasize the social high. I chopped the topped plant all the way, I might need to do more trimming on it as it had a lot of leaf compared to the bud. The other two turned out better (I've gotta think of names for these things). I left some growth one those plants to reveg them.



Here's the topped one, cut and trimmed:


Here's the top cola of the one that was the runt. It didn't produce a ton, but it seems to be the best quality, hopefully the reveg will take and I can rock some clones.


Here's the top cola of the other untopped plant, it's pretty dense. Pretty good production I'd say all told:



Here are the two untopped plants after I cut them. I wanted to leave enough so it would reveg, hopefully leaving the flowers on won't mess it up. I thought about trying to pull those last little buds off, but it didn't seem worth it.
