I had considered LST, but decided to wait till the next batch. This my first grow in 29 years, so on this one it will be 'au naturel'.

One of them will be sacrificed later due to the fact I only have so much light to work with. So far Droopy is winning. It hasn't had so much trouble with nute burn like Indica Maybe. Also all of its secondary growth is nice and even, with well developed leafs. Droopy is way bushier than Indica Maybe.

Indica Maybe had a bad problem with nute burn. The burn killed off the first 3 nodes of fan leaves, and the burn still creeps up on remaining fan leafs. The secondary branches on it are uneven and the leaves there of, are not so well developed as with Droopy. One of the secondary branches even shot out 3 inches leaving all the rest behind at only a half an inch.

There are little nubs of pre-flower on both of them now. The nubs on Droopy showed 2 weeks earlier than on Indica Maybe. I don't have a magnifier so it is hard for me to tell, but I don't as yet see any hairs coming out of them.

Indica Maybe has started making uneven nodes on its main stalk. This has been going on for the last 4 nodes. I read when that happens, it is a good time to cut the light. I would like to give them another week of veg before cutting the light.

They are 9-10 inches tall now, and really seem to be taking off. I had to raise the lights 3 times in a week. If they keep going at this rate, they will be 14-15 inches tall on week 6.

Tomorrow is the week 5 mark. I will post new pictures then.
