12/30 - Gave them both a clean bucket for their birthday... top watering always sends some of the clay pebble sediment into the water and seems to keep the pH a bit unstable - so now I'm not top-watering any longer, they can have clean Spring water and fresh nutes.... I'm needing them to stretch, though! Keep raising the lights and they keep ignoring me... what is it with these two that they don't obey my "command" - LOL! Love them and looking forward to their growth in 2023!!
12/31 - All is well! Had to trim the lowest leaves on OG since I need to add more pebbles and they were definitely in the way (I don't think I put enough pebbles in the bottom when I transferred them to the netpots) - but you'd never notice! She's growing really well as is GG! They're loving the higher EC ... they're going to greet the new year in fine style!
1/1/23 - Happy New Year to all my growing buddies, to all my ladies, to everyone who pops by to see what these two are doing!
1/2 - Ladies are humming along nicely... no complaints out of either one of them! Both EC and pH are steady and they're drinking - what more could I ask for?! :-D
01/03 - These two are REALLY happy at the moment! Growing strongly, getting some stretching in - and if I don't get more pebbles in their netpots, they'll probably come after me with a baseball bat! TODAY, ladies!!! I PROMISE!!!!
01/04 - They didn't need to come at me with the baseball bat... filled up their netpots with the pebbles and they've been very happy. Both are really starting to grow - OG is going to be one bushy BUSHY plant while GG is going to be a little more demure...
@Kruidenvrouwtje, oh yeah... it's not even me! LOL! It's apparently of a lady in Havana who hangs out on the corner with her girlfriends and they all smoke stogies ... I chose her 'cause I loved the flowers in her hat! AND she looks a bit younger than me... LOL!
@GrowingGrannie, Well, you know what they say.... growing weed is more addictive than smoking it... so the big blunt on your profile picture is just for show π
@Kruidenvrouwtje, no, I really don't! I tried it back in college in the 60s but wasn't all that impressed ... I could get higher WITHOUT it so why pay $5 for an ounce of it when I didn't have much money ... and I've tried it here recently but all it did was send me to the couch - and it was VERY mild shit... so no, it's just not something I'm into! I just love the challenge of growing it...
What the crap is pony-tailing? Lol , sounds like an eventfulish bucket swap . But you corralled that pretty quick. Lookin forward to seeing how your ponytailing works out... lov seeing the little mark near ur name showing u updated .. hope they settle into the new buckets n like their hair do!!!
@GrowingGrannie, awesome news. Was curious how it was working out for you. Now thinking I'm gonna start my youngins tomorrow morning . 6 hrs for a few days will be doable now I'm outta work for a bit.. see how it works for my photosp's , think it should pan out similarly. Shall find out. But that's great , gotta see how the next few updates go for you!!!!
@Grow4Releaf, hey! hey! Just wanted to update this thread and let you know that ponytailing is really kind of cool! It's actually a bit like topping although you don't get two colas out of the one... but it REALLY allows the side branches to catch up with the main cola which has been a terrible problem for me in past grows... one gigantically tall cola and everything else sweeping up down in the basement! LOL! I like it VERY much for autos.. give it a try sometime - but again, don't leave the ponytail on for longer than 6 hours (I think I had said 8 but that's not right)... I only had to do it for 3 days ... :-D Cheers!
That OG is definately a leafy girl. She could just have a longer flowering time in comparison to the GG, just a thought (in regards to the development). Looking great regardless π.
Looks amazing. I've been MIA learning from mistakes π, but I'm back and made a transfer to coco in an attempt to remedy my over zealousness. Great grow as usual, looking forward to these girls hitting the scales!
