Day 22 - This girl is doesn't stop delivering surprises. From a week behind, stunted mess, to a bold and sassy upstart brat, she's shooting up every day like gangbusters!
Day 23 - Tucked the heck out of her. Gonna have to LST! And to think I thought she was stunted.
Day 24 - Started LST yesterday after posting the pic. She basically exploded! Hooked her over and tucked all of her big leaves down, exposing grow sites. They blasted out of her in a matter of hours.

Into week three for Mandy Capable! She's eaten up the damage of being born deformed and is coming on strong. She really stinks considering how young she is.
Day 27 - It may just be the smaller pot, but LST seems to be having a more drastic effect on her mass than on the others. The last two days, I have been a tiny bit worried because her leaves have been slightly clawing/downwards cupping, but I noticed it was only on her new growth. The leaves that were hooked downward yesterday are flat today, so it appears that her leaves are bunching up so fast in the middle where growth starts that that is what is causing the effect. Is clawing due to rapid growth a thing? I'll have to read up. One thing is for sure, whatever is happening, she is growing like a fiend. :-D
@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?
