Hardonna update...

[HARDDON]

Wow bro you did frickin awsum job on her.

Boy that secondary growth is beautiful now.

Keep that light close down on her.

Yes we will do the top leaves but first we need those secondaries to grow and extend beyond the fan leaves at the top.

Great great job.

How long since she has some guano tea?

She could use a little now that we have exposed some new growth to light. She will push to grow that stuff out now to the light.

Also, keep one light dedicated to her 'back' side, or the are where most of the fan leaves are....we want them still to produce solar power for the plant.

Also, once every couple of days for about 4 hours, let those fan leaves loose so they can fully breath and respirate herself. Then take them down again.

At this time, also begin to spray mist her with purified water thruout her veg.

Twice a day would be ideal.

I like the pipe cleaner idea. Never thought of that one.

Great choice.

I would definately pick the longer veg point. you will yeild more bud

Great work and keep the updates daily, same pose.

Whew...thanks...they had guano tea today. It was their second time. I, uh, have been misting during the mornings---every couple of days with the bottled water. The fan evaporates the mist pretty quickly.

I'll go for the extra week and make it 49 days veg. I feel a lot more confident if I have to bend for vertical space at any point.

The secondaries have grown noticeably in the six hours since tying. Unbelievable...Thanks, HD!

Well she looks primary INdica so she'll be fine.

Bend all the other little bitches

YEs those secondaries will now bolt out and when they reach near the top level, we can do the uppers on her as well.

How many more days does she have before flower?

[HARDDON]

BTW...I like the way she is growing so far...

Even without help you are doing an awesum job

16 days to flower. I'll start tying sisters tomorrow.

Based on my first crop, growing pot is really easy; growing good pot seems to be an incredible journey of attention to details---and not the least bit easy.

I find it almost unbelievable when I go back and look at Whore and Cunt's updates. I aspire to one day have a big fat Whore of my own

[HARDDON]

Yes, I have always said growing good tomato plants is an art and science.

Right now you are mastering the 'art' part.

Just a quick Day 34 update...Hardonna is 14" tall, growing at a steady 1/2" per day, although the majority of her energy now seems to be going into the secondary leaf growth. 15 days of vegging to go. Next grow, I'm replacing CFL ballasts that have brown cords....

Just a quick Day 35 (5 weeks!) update...

All the girls got about 2 liters of bottled water---with five drops of added Superthrive this morning---along with a good misting of the bottled water alone.

With all the green, the grow room looks kind of dark when the reflective doors are open. One pic is of Hardonna with her three CFL's in place. I tied down two more upper fan leaves today and adjusted the others. Secondary growth seems to be flourishing pretty good.

14 days of veg to go.

[HARDDON]

Yes they are looking very nice...

Time to take down the next set above it. That will expose the highest secondaries you have. Those will produce the biggest and best buds as well.

So time to get them exposed.

I notice all your other plants are taller but notice how they dont have the secondary branching going on other than stem and leaf top?

Also, your sex has now been determined so you want to check every day for pre-flowers. Your environment is ripe for them so start check every node on the main stems.

Pre-flowers can be hard to see until they grow bigger, but you will know them when you see them.

Be on the look out.

[9ski9]

Yeah, thanks, HD, I'm doing a major tie-down of the others tomorrow, as well as Hardonna's highest fans.

I feel like I'm back on the maternity ward...I check for sex at least 10 times a day and keep seeing all the stipules from different angles and momentarily getting my hopes up...not one confirmed sex with the naked eye for any of 12 plants.

Of all the pre-flower examples, I think weedfarmer has the best single pic at:

I keep telling myself that it'll be good to have the extra space when some balls show.
