I BROKE PAT!
As mentioned, she had gotten so far out of pocket, that I was going to tie her back down. Well I never made it that far. As I was taking her out of the closet, she bumped her head on the hood of the light, and bent! The top 6 inches just went "doink" at a 90 degree angle. Luckily, she didn't snap clean through. I would have cried, because that's the biggest cola on her. So I just sort of gingerly puuussshhhed her head back upright, and left her the hell alone, only bothering her to give her a drinkypoo. She's holding her head up on her own though, so that's good.

I still don't know what to do about getting her away from the light though. I may have to attach a string farther down on her stem, and just sort of lean her away. I'm kind of at a loss. Let me take a picture, maybe someone else will have an idea.


***time passes***
Oh yeah, she is 27 and 1/4" tall from dirt to tip, and what, 3 weeks into an only god knows how lengthy flowering cycle. This was anonymous bagseed, so I have no idea what strain she is or anything, only that she looks to be sativa dominant. With my luck, I got hold of some strain that's best suited to outdoor growing by swarthy men in camoflage, who have all the room in the world to grow a 10 foot plant with a decade long flowering time. hmph.

Oh right then, this is supposed to be a grow log, not a bitchfest. They both took 3 quarts of water. I suspect I have a manganese deficiency. Correction, I suspect I have a manganese lockout, caused by a surplus of magnesium. Of course, I came to this conclusion after I had watered them with a dose of epsom salts and molasses. Aaaannnd, my soil pH is 6.6. Now, my water pH is frigging 8. So now I need to beg for money for some adjuster. But the furnace in our new house doesn't seem to be working. So I think getting money for pH Down may be challenging. I would borrow it from my mom, but I don't really want to tell her I need it because my pot plants need help LOL! Argh. This is becoming a frustrating week.

That's all for now. Here's the picture of Pat trying to escape through the roof.:wtf:
