The Great Grow Experiment

Busy week for me and the little ladies. While they were busy growing an inch+ a piece, I studied for a Spanish final with a blunt in my fingers trying to remember conjugations. I digress. Plants #1 & #2 have such unique growth between the two of them. Since it's my first grow, I'm trying not to compare the two and have to keep reminding myself that they are not going to grow identically. Plant #1 is a bit shorter than #2, but has a second stalk growing from the base of the plant which I imagine takes a lot of her energy. In addition, this week she suffered a little bug attack, which may also explain why she is so much shorter than her sister. One leaf had distinct damage, pictured, and one looked like it may have been nibbled on, but I removed both and treated both plants with Neem oil (1tsp:1gal) in my sprayer last night (7/25). Plant #2 is taaaaalll. She has such a happy upward reach that looks like prayer hands, which are just so damn cute. After topping last week, it looks like there has been considerable growth to four main stems which I hope will be bushy, heavy colas when they're ready.
