Looking great Jedi - our grows so similar - I just started mine on water & molasses too for the next couple of weeks. How did they take to your cutting off the bottoms? I was thinking about it and I did snip a couple that were obviously never going to amount to anything but only a few...I was worried I might shock them into going hermie if I chopped off too much.

Looks great, keep the pics coming

Thanks for the kind words, keeko and Shermania.

Doco, I had the exact same worry about them going hermie, especially since these were grown from female seeds. I have kept a diligent eye on them with close daily inspections, and it has been 6 days now without a sign of balls. I have however seen a better plumping on the girls. Whether this is due to the clipping or just natural for this stage of development I'm not sure, but I'm inclined to think it's the clipping.

I was ping-ponging back and forth about clipping them, trying to digest all the conflicting therioes out there. My main worry was hermaphrodism, but I read a post by an experienced grower on another site that comforted my fears. His point was that all plants are designed to take loss of limb, especially at the bottom of the plant, because that is where the critters gnaw on them. So why not divert the energy away from the useless wisps at the bottom and toward the fattening colas at the top? Makes sense to me, but this is my first grow so I don't really know jack...

Here are a few closeups. The first closeup is Gertrude's main cola and the second is Matilda's.

Here is a wide shot. This is flowering day 45. I'm in the bell lap!

Hey Buddha bro. Niiiiice grow!:jointsmile:

[Jedi Hash]

Well, I started harvesting Monday, and finished tonight. A few teasers for tonight...

[doco]

Looks great Jedi, nice work! You have a lot more secondary growth than I do, thanks to the space you gave each of them.

I harvested my C-99 Monday night also and I basically got four branches - the two mains and the next set of internodes...the rest were just little tiny buds that I just tossed in the hash trimmings. I learned a big lesson - less is more. From this point Ill never have more than four in the HH mini...more that that and they don't get much secondaries 'cause they are too crowded for light penetration.

Anyway, looks like you've had fun over the last few days. I love scrapping the resin off the trimming scissors afterward!!
