DAY 37 (DAY 8 OF FLOWERING)
My partner came out yesterday and we did another changeout. It went very smoothly, considering. BD#1 fell through the lid; that is, the netpot fell through. The lesson learned here is donâ??t make the holes perfectly fit the lid of the potâ?¦.make sure the lip of the netpot is about 1/3rd of an inch above the lid of the bucket so it has better support. I tied some string for support and thatâ??s no longer an issue.
Speaking of tying string, the babies keep growing up, up, and away, that in order to try to salvage what little space I have left, Iâ??m bending some of the top branches just a little bit. The funny thing is, within hours of slightly bending atop branch towards the right, the branch had already twisted upwards towards the lightâ?¦.BD is a VERY resilient baby. That said, the gentle bending seems to be a good option for saving some space right now. BD#1 drank about half of a gallon in one day, so Iâ??m assuming thatâ??s also a good sign.
Also, countless little hairy buds are starting to slowly present themselves. I tried to snap pics of them all but itâ??s hard to convey with pics whatâ??s going on at this stage.

Whoops, it's supposed to be DAY 36/7 OF FLOWERING

[supchaka]

No need to gently bend it, bend it till it snaps over. Thats super cropping. The plant will form a big fat knuckle where you bent it over.

DAY 39 (10 of flowering)

The babies continue to grow with budâ??s appearing all over the place. The lower leaves, which get barely any light now, are starting to yellow and die. They are gulping up water as well. The weather is idealâ?¦itâ??s been the high 70â??s to low 80â??s al day and will be that way for the next week or so. As you can tell from the pictures, the branches are extremely long and Iâ??m bending them with string. Here are the pics:

My smallest GDP is dead. I finally â??bushwackedâ?� my way to the back of the grow cab and saw her sad, pathetic little corpse just all shriveled and dried up. Itâ??s odd, because a few days ago I was considering pulling her anyway since thatâ??s 5 gallons of water I could be saving on and she wasnâ??t growing. Well, she decided for me LOL. So I placed the two GDPâ??s into the double bucket and removed the old bucket, which gives me more space to work. I couldnâ??t care less if ALL of the GDPâ??s died for at this point the BDâ??s have my full attention. Those whores are treating me right, not those prudish GDPâ??s

The only problem with that is you can cut off the supply route to the top of plant if "snap" goes to far. Had 3-4 plants that the tops fell over do to colas weight and 2 of them the tops started dieing because the internals of the stem were completely cut off but still intact on the outside. Not saying it is right or wrong just throwing in personal experience.

Yeah, I'm not brave enough to bend my main stem until it "snaps". I personally haven't read anything about that particular technique. At first glance, I would assume the branch would die if I were to snap it, but maybe there's more too it than that. All I'm doing is gently tilting the top of the branch a few degrees to the left or right so they don't hit the light. It also exposes the flowers lower on the branch to more light which is an added bonus.

DAY 42
I went back to my original post and figured out that this is day 42 of my grow. Iâ??m not that great with numbers ;-)
I did my changeout today since Iâ??ll be out of town this weekend. Since I now only have 4 buckets instead of 5, it went a little smoother than usual. The flowers keep growing, and I took as many up close shots as I could manage.

DAY 47
Babies are still growing and flowering like mad. The odor is surprisingly un-skunklike like I had thought it would be. Itâ??s more of a sweet odor and I wouldnâ??t even associate it with the smell I would expect from this plant.
Leaves are now starting to hit the light and fry a little bit, but so long as itâ??s not the buds Iâ??m cool with that. Iâ??m trying to bend things so that doesnâ??t happen but the leaves branch out while Iâ??m away.

DAY 49
My partner and I did another water changeout today, nothing really spectacular to report on other than that the buds are forming nicely and crystals have begun to coat the leaves around the buds. I've been twisting and tying the branches this way and that to expose the lower branches to light and to avoid hitting the ceiling. The babies are over 6 feet tall, although by bending the branches I've been able to stabilize them at a 5 1/2 foot tall height.
