sKitzO 05/01 (Day 29) - a new month, and a new week. Unfortunately Mother Nature has been a bitch around these parts. Haven’t had the ladies outside in a few days now.
Since it was so close to a new week, I didn’t update last but did feed the girls on 04/30. Was a bit loose with my measurements but each got around 750mL of 780ppm at a pH of 6.24.
707 P2 continues to amaze me with her secondary growth. All of the pheno’s are responding well to training, with P2 being a monster. The rest are starting to fill out as well.
P4 is due for a transplant as her legs are poking out the drainage holes. No idea what the hell P5 is. Mutant for sure. Slow growing, weird fans that are not maturing well at all. I’ll give her a bit more, but she’s dead in my books.
The Mango’s are also progressing nicely now as well. Their secondary growth is there, but certainly not as explosive as the 707s. P3 is still leading the pack. The Mango’s are certainly Indica leaning with large and fat fan leafs. These should get massive once they get real sun.
The canopy is still only a few inches from the soil line, but the girls are getting tall, that is to say if they were able to grow normal. My goal while they are inside is to train them as much as possible around a circle with the oldest most growth being pulled furthest if possible. I’ll slightly offset the final transplant so the meristem has more room to be trained towards the edge of the pot. This will make sense in a few weeks. 707 P2 for example already has 3 down opposed to her meristem. These 3 will essentially form one boundary of her pot, and the meristem the other. The pot will fill in between with glorious secondary colas, but let’s not get too far ahead just yet.

05/05 (Day 33) - was finally a glorious day to be outside, and as soon as the sun hit the back deck, the girls were out.
All a bit unruly and in need of some tie backs. They loved the sun! Can’t wait to see them perform in full sun, in giant pots.
Took some pics of the leaders (707 P1 & 2 as well as Mango P1 & 3). Interestingly enough, I’d say Mango P1 is out performing the earlier leader P3. Maybe she got some better legs? I snapped a lower off trying P2 back unfortunately. I didn’t try to repair her.
707’s are exploding, and I’m able to start shaping them quite nicely. Clearly P2 had the head start, but P1 is filling in nicely as well. They should get very tall and bushy i suspect. P4 was also transplanted. Didn’t have another bursary pot handy, so made do with something I had on hand.
All plants got 750ml of RO water at a pH of 6.84.

Love the training plan... and yeah, it does make sense:joy::+1:.
@sKitzO, that’s interesting to know. And very comforting too. I’ve never really had the kinda room I needed to start indoors so I was obviously a little concerned about the light cycle. All my previous outdoors have been seedling’d outside so I’m trying to save the pain of bring’n em in every night. That said, we get some sun one of these days and that may change:wink:. Either way - they all look like they’ll survive and that’s what counts! Lol
@TheBudWhisperer, no worries here, just prefer to get them outside as much as possible. I have them on 24/0. I find the more I can get them out, the more I can push that schedule. I’ve never had a problem going from 24 to 14/15 by the time they are in. The difference this year is the lack of exposure. I might clip them down to 18 by the end of next week in hopes of a long weekend plant. I have the luxury of moving them inside if there is a chance for frost.
@sKitzO, hear that! Herb or not - totally got it! Lol. I’m happy with the rain but I do worry about the frost these days. We’ve got our outdoors for the year on a 14 hour light cycle to copy what’s going on outside. Probably gonna keep em in until May 24 just to be safe. It’s still a pretty long veg. Season so I wouldn’t worry too much about the sun exposure:+1:
