Hipichic Just found out about this cool website! Not sure how old these girls are as I received one from an old hippie friend of mine and the others I got as seedling starters! I'll just keep track from now on and update it to flower when I see them hit that point!

Hey there 👋 I’d top those beauties so they become bushy instead of tall. They will grow exponentially once in flower, so a bit of lst would do wonders after the topping Happy Growing 🌱

Most definitely normal. They shroud themselves in the night it's called Foliar nyctinasty it'sbelieved to conserve energy and help keep core temps warmer during nightfall.

Hi there! The purple stems can be symptom of many things but some deficiencies can cause it, strong light (led atleast) and genetics too. The plant is looking pretty happy so I'd say dont worry about ot too much yet. if something else starts to show then is time to act.

Hipichic Aug. 30th: We have cleared out a bunch of the smaller branches in the middle where they were not getting enough light to flower yet, so they were pretty far behind. Hoping that will help all of the remaining to bulk up nicely! Loving this stage of the grow, cannot wait for the harvest! Happy growing everyone! 💚✌️ Sept. 4th: Haven't updated y'all on the stalks in quite some time. They've gotten bigger and the ones that split in half have become really strong. We propped up the squirts with some sticks and stings to help the branches. Thinking the Raspberries should be fine though because they were split. Considering splitting them all next time! Thanks for stopping by, and happy growing!

Hipichic Sept. 7th: It was a calm week with high heat last week, the girls seemed to get through it fine. A few close-ups of the Raspberries, one of each, Ran out of light and only was able to get two close-ups. Sept. 8th: The wind gusts last night were up to 55 mph. Since we watered yesterday the soil was quite loose and we awoke to some of the girls having fallen over! So we have braced them all and they're recovering well. Took the last close-up of the raspberry I didn't get to yesterday, they sure look yummy! ✌️💚 Sept. 12th: A couple of macro shots of each, trying out a new lens. Thanks for stopping by!

Hipichic Sept. 13th: The girls top colas are starting to bulk up nicely! Had a few close-ups of the squirts. Sept. 14th: It has been a lot cooler lately with temps dropping under 60 F at night, which is why I think the squirt has been developing some fall colors. It's the smallest of all of the plants and seems to be the furthest along with developing. Oddly enough it seems to be the only branch that has started really turning colors, not sure why that is. We did end up finding some buds that we took off due to pest damage at the roots. Thinking maybe it stressed it out a bit. Hoping removing the affected branches and using The Amazing Doctor Zymes on the soil will help. Going to take an extra day before watering again to see if it helps rid it of the bugs. Close-ups of the Raspberry Parfaits looking to be developing nicely. Sept. 15th: Tried to get a good shot of the large colas on each plant. And wound up finding a Caterpillar had eaten through the top cola of the smallest Squirt! It was quite large and seemed to be trying to avoid the spray that we applied the night before when also soaking the soil. It not only bored through that bud, but also started making it's way up the middle into the next part, it was definitely hungry. Happy growing and thanks for checking out my grow! ✌️💚

Hipichic Sept. 23rd: We found more caterpillars and doused the plants with Monterey B.t. organic pesticide and it has worked wonders, finding dead caterpillars and only sickly looking living ones that aren't eating and just wandering around the plant. So glad we used it. Still treating the girls with Amazing Dr. Zymes as well, waiting a few days in between so we do not overdo it. They are coming along nicely and harvest is just around the corner for the smallest two squirts, they have about a week or two left, where as the Raspberries and Kush are going to need three or four more weeks still. Sept. 24th: Took some close-up shots of the squirts and kush. Thanks for stopping by and happy growing!💚✌️

Hipichic My experience overall can be best described as an interesting enlightening process. Since it was my first time growing it was definitely a learning experience. From the height being as tall as it was to the high winds in the area making it difficult to keep them from toppling when the buds were reaching full maturity. Thinking it would have benefited from more topping than just the once. The terps that this strain has are exquisite!! I am going to miss walking by them towering over me and just breathing in their berry cream aroma, taking in the sweetness like I had just had some dessert. Really enjoyed this strain and hope to grow it again sometime. Thanks for checking out my first grow 🌼💚✌️

Silverback_Guerillacommentedweek 135y ago

Typical hippy chick...huge bush!!!😆 Did you decide to supercrop them, or just tie them down? As lanky as they are, and as much "elbow room" as they have, you could just use some cotton or sisal twine and stake each branch down so that each branch is like the petal of a daisy. Every day you can move the stakes out a little further away until eventually the branches are growing almost horizontally. When they're all budded up, from above, it will look like a giant octopus plant.😲 If you accidentally split the stalk while bending them down, no worries...either use a dab of black tar (for tree repair) and twist-tie it together, sandwiching the tar, or even just some wood glue will do. If you use wood glue, apply it and let it dry..apply another layer...a few times.. This method is really common in Mexico and S. America where the cultivars get up to 15-20 feet. So much easier to maintain them than using a ladder.... Feed them silica if you aren't already. It will make their branches more pliable and flexible.👈 Also, they are starting their pre-flower stretch now (they could double in height [or more] from this point), so it would be the perfect time to do it, and to amend your soil with some Happy Frog Cavern Culture or other bat/seabird guano/rock phosphate product. They'll be needing that phosphorous soon... Keep it up, and don't forget to enter the Newbie of the Month contest after you do your harvest report....you definitely have a good shot at winning!👍

@Hipichic, Ya for sure consider it. I've got a couple of plants now that I've trained into the shape of the letter S. Shaved off a foot of vertical height or so... We do what we gotta do! You should check out @Hellishjam 's outdoor grow for this season. That dude grows some serious trees. He's a supercropper, and it seems to keep his plants bushing up really well without growing too tall.

@Silverback_Guerilla, That does seem to be the cases doesn't it lol! We only tied them down, didn't supercrop. Thanks for the advice on how to tie down the branches, will definitely keep that in mind. I will see about the silica and phosphates as well, all great advice, that is much appreciated. I will give the newbie of the month contest a shot, guessing it will be in September/October that we will be harvesting. 👍😊 Happy Growing!

@MrJones, Thanks for checking it out and I appreciate the kind words! We have been using the Happy Frog Fruit and Flower by measuring out the right amount according to their height, then scraping it into the soil, and thoroughly watering it afterward. We have the girls in ten gallon Smart Pots and in them is Fox Farm Ocean Soil. Then we buried the pots most of the way to keep the roots cool. It has been pretty low maintenance since we have a drip line hooked up to water for us, we only had to water by hand when we are feeding them. Hope this helps, happy growing!!🙌😊
