Thank you Steezyd! More like 3 1/2 inches so far! LOL What I can't wait for is to get this first crop cured and in my pipe... but I guess I will survive until then.

I am a researcher in my real life. I bring this obsessive behavior to this hobby. My goal here on this thread was two fold; I wanted to see if we can prove the fascinating early sexing theory brought to us by WashougalWonder http://boards.cannabis.com/advanced-...ml#post2068667 , and I wanted to create a true beginners thread where a complete beginner documented her mistakes and learning curve as she figured out how to do this thing we do. This sort of resource was what I looked for on this forum as I began to research, and I am simply trying here to provide the resource that would have helped me in the very beginning not to make the mistakes that I have made.

In the future you will see me document my learning of several other aspects of this as we go on... cloning, FIM, setting up the SCRog and many other interesting things I have read about here. I will be providing links back to the articles that introduced me to the techniques every chance I get. Once we get full into flowering there will not be much of a need to document things as it pretty much goes on autopilot at that point with a SCRog and others have done a fine job in documenting the filling in of the bud sites before me. I will keep everyone informed however, as I know that many will be interested to see what sort of yield and quality I get out of this at the end.

You will see that I have already scaled back reporting a bit now as we have "rounded the corner" and now seem to have viable plants well on their way to maturity. I don't feel there is much to learn with daily reporting at the moment, as my major lesson to just let the plants do what they need to do as I control the environment for them has been learned. I made a ton of mistakes to get to this point, and hopefully I have saved someone from repeating them with my reporting. These points will now be stressed to future readers through my efforts here and in this small way I hope to give back to this community that took me by the hand, showed me friendship from the first moment I introduced myself, and within which many have become my friends. I am very proud that so many are reading this thread each day. It amazes me that we are averaging almost 60 views per day so far and I feel that I am doing some good work here with these efforts.

Thank you everyone who is reading along. I am only succeeding because of you!
