01/28 - Haven't had much time to keep up with the diary this week - but that doesn't mean I've ignored my ladies! They got their new tent, they've gotten my attempt at a Scrog net and they're doing well. I still need to do a bit more lollipopping and defoliation in general on OG... And she's also flowering much later than GG which is just about weird! But both look good and are behaving themselves.... Sunshine, my cat, keeps them under close observation! Sometime, I'll tell you how I came up with her name...
01/29 - Girls are doing well... OG is going to have to get a haircut today, no ifs, ands or buts... I've been putting it off but just can't any more. In fact, I'm going to go do that - RIGHT NOW! :-D
01/30 - Well, OG got scalped yesterday but isn't showing any sign of being bothered... as a matter of fact, I think she's been pretty appreciative of her time in the beauty salon... Her buds are still trailing GG's in development but again, I'm not worried... actually, I think I'm a little grateful since I'm probably not going to have to harvest/trim these ladies at the same time. Meanwhile, GG is just a rock star... gorgeous buds developing, and I can't wait now for the new light! Oh! I don't think I've said anything about that!! I've ordered a new light from @Phlizon.. their PL-4500 which, dimension-wise, will fit in my 2x4 tent and give me 450W of power.... I'm really psyched even though I STILL haven't gotten word that they've shipped it... When it arrives, I'm going to put the current @Phlizon PL-2000 in the closet so I'll have two of them in for my Devil Cream - so SHE'LL have extra light as well... Sigh... I need a bigger space... SO many things I want to be growing! :-D
02/02 - A few days since I updated this (except for pics, I guess) ... everything is going really, really well... girls are very happy, drinking LOTS and I've increased the EC to 1.2 - I think GG probably will need a few more which is about insane! But we'll see about that tomorrow... OG has recovered from the massive haircut I had to give her and things are just chugging right along! :-D
@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!
