Day 15 - Okay, so at this point she put on so much mass in 24 hours that she tipped over. I propped her up with a bit of plant tie. Now things start to get crazy.
Day 16 - She doubled in mass overnight!
Day 17 - And she doubles in mass again! At this point I added a bigger piece of plant tie to stabilize her. She also seemed to want to grow sideways, so we braced her, like the scoliosis and braces girl she was always meant to be.

Our girl Mandy here decided that she was going to be one of those girls who wasn't much of a looker in high school and shows up at the five year reunion married to a dude who owns a couple islands and travels more via helicopter than by automobile. She shot up and out in every direction, and looks to lean more toward her sativa genes than Sam's Crack #1, who wants to be round and short but bulky. This girl looks like she wants to be a tall drink of water.
@SCAR17s, I know right!?! This was a plant that was born half blackened and missing a cotyledon leaf, too! Classic underdog story! :-D so proud of her. She'll be the one I remember most of my first grow.
What ever your doing keep it up she looks great. Keep an eye on the leaves/buds. The highest leaves are showing signs of the beginning of light burn. Could be those parts are more directly centered under the light where it is most intense. I dealt with a simular issue on my grow. I was a bit faked out thought it was a deficiency. If shes close to her chop day you could cut down to 20hrs of light it might help.
@Philindicus, Yeah she's a weird plant, actually. She was heavily LSTed and had a flat canopy. I mean super flat, and at day 56, out of the blue, maybe five days after her flower stretch ended, she just decided to shoot a dominant cola out of the center of her mass. I mean she was DONE going up for days and all of the sudden BLOOP, a top, sticking six inches up. Was so weird. And then of course her main canopy, which is made up of eleven or twelve 12 inch colas is at a perfect height.
So I'm kind of stuck in a dilemma at this point. Let her other colas get the right amount of light and risk damage to that dominant or let the unanticipated dominant get all the glory at the possible expense of a whole lot of yield.
So I decided to let her get a bit bleached. We're at day 62 of a strain whose parents are a 55-65 day grower (Sour Crack) and a 70-75 day grower, (Samsquanch OG.) so I'm guessing that she's got maybe a week or two at the outside? I'm not sure. I guess you never know with gen 1 crossbreeds. If it looks like that top will get irreparable damage before the end of her life cycle I may take some action.
Does that make any sense?
