Highgate Atjeh (Aceh) Outdoors

The guys outside are enjoying the sun, and getting a lot of rain! :D They are stretching out in the direction of the evening sun, as that's when it's strongest on one patch - the other guy is leaning towards the others, as it gets it all day - so they are leaning into each other, from across the garden, which is nice! D One of the plants - the tallest and greenest one - is being attacked by something that has perforated the leaves entirely!!! D: Idk what it is, I've not found anything... washed it, brushed it, checked it all over (some aphids and black things in the dew are brushed off) but I can't see anything on the leaves with all the holes. The plant doesn't seem to mind it at all! So I'm ignoring it for now, even though it is still evident on the new growth (might be that it chewed it before). @Gorillagardener says it might be some moth larvae that is munching away, so I will investigate after speaking with him. You can see the difference between the ones outside, and the one indoors..! Holy cow, what a difference LED lights make! I'm keeping that one tiny, and it has formed a lovely canopy - I really like it! :D The leaves are thick and juicy and it just keeps wanting to grow..! I'm using it as a gauge of when to water the other plants. As it's in such a small pot, its leaves drop and rise within a very short time of being watered (it is drinking a bit more since the heat is rising), so it's very handy to know about when to splash the other guys with my home-made watering can. It's a plastic bottle with holes jabbed in the lid :D Works very well! I can't afford a watering can, and why bother when you can use any old bottle with pin holes in the lid :D The maddest thing is this, right: The seedlings I gave my buddy - they were under a 600w HPS for about a month, and they loved it (he didn't love his electric bill tho! So I sold him the TS-600 which he likes). He had eight survive from the fifteen seedlings I gave him (I know... but he's like 70-odd, and is a bit laid back, you know - old hippie). Two of them, we left natural. Two of them we bent over (think it's called "monstercropping" for some reason). Two of them, we topped. Two of them, we mainlined. Half have been males - one I'm not sure about... it looks like it might be a hermaphrodite, or male - it's not developed enough yet, which is odd. Two mainlines are female. One topped is maybe hermie / male, other male. Two bent are male. Natural - one is female, one is ... well - look at the photo xD Hahahaha! I don't think I had the seeds mixed up (I had hundreds), but maybe I did have one of the Indonesian in there... OR It's nature being weird and having one more like it's mother and one more like its father :D It's almost 5 foot tall..! The other is about 12" if that!!! Crazy! The little one is showing some signs again of not enjoying it in the little pot, but it's still going. Yellow tips and some rust on the older leaves - I did burn it by adding hydro nutrients a while back, and it recovered fine - but this looks like a deficiency... The soil must be starting to feel depleted, so I will add some tomorite or something later. I spilled about 300ml of tomorite on the carpet next to the rowing machine by accident. Think I cleared it up ok - can't really tell it's stained it. But the whole carpet is dirty and stained with paint and all sorts, so... Whatevs. I've rooted out about half of them as males.
