Bubba 2....we love you!

Started bondage and light defoliation yesterday (first photo), and in 24 hours the second pic is how she looks. These plants are frigin amazing at how they can quickly respond to our manipulation!! 🙌 Further spreading and more defoliation to follow.

You rock rockman. Those are very nice. I especially like the thing you did in the middle to keep them spread. Very ingenious.

[kingfish]

One thing I forgot to mention. Those leaves look a little dark. Might want to check their Nitrogen intake. Just my $.02

[rockman]

King, I'm growing in Kind soil, and have only given it plain distilled water. The leaves in real life look a nice vibrant green, so I'm not concerned at the moment. In fact, I'm really liking the growth supported by that soil, so far at least. Time will tell if the rest of grow goes so well.

[kingfish]

In that case. Never mind. They are pretty.

[Green75]

good show...they do love it for sure...

[rockman]

Thanks green...she loved every moment, and is looking for more! Nice to see how the Kind soil is boosting her growth, and all I do is water....very enjoyable!

[Karlee]

Very sweet grow! I want it for a pic , what an auto should look like at 23 days! You are a master gardener.

[rockman]

I'm blushing Karlee with that sweet compliment! 😊 Thanks! This new style of growing autos (tie-down and defoliation) is getting really exciting to me, especially cause it means I'll be dealing with compact plants instead of the massive ones I've been doing. And using a supersoil is so darn easy compared to concern about mixing nutes! Thanks again 🌻

[Tika]

More beauty! Good Daddy!

[rockman]

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder....and with your keen perception, I definitely appreciate your compliment...thanks Tika! 🌸

Looking grant Rockman. I love the side by side photos taken 24 hours apart. That does show the amazing ability of this plant to rebound and thrive.

[rockman]

Thanks Insomm! 💚 I was so blown away when I first compared the two photos...really does highlight how resilient cannabis can be! 🌿

[DrunkInHatchy]

They are looking amazing. I can only hope for something similar.

[rockman]

Thanks Drunkin....you'll be getting there some day, especially with your curiosity and enthusiasm about growing! 🌿

[DrunkInHatchy]

Thanks. I have minor experience in growing. I worked at a lawn and garden center for 2 years and worked landscaping for 5. Im good with Transplaning and triming but a novice at everything else .

[rockman]

26 days and just plain water....love that soil so far! This pic is right before plucking some leaves for my salad tonight. Yum! 🌿🌿🌿

[Tika]

Wonderful & more wonderful rockman..great shape!

[rockman]

Thanks Tika...this one is really impressing me daily! 🌸

[Green75]

she looks mighty rich in color and looks like some slight nute burn with some twisted leaves....from my understanding of your medium all that should work itself out as she uses up all the good stuff....great lady...she will do well for you...

She sure does have a lot of fans on her...just think what she could do if she didn't have to support all those....

Looking great.keep it up!!!

[rockman]

Agree with the slight nutes burn. I saw that about a week ago, but as you mentioned, I felt that it would eventually work itself out as the plant grew some more. And yes, it is already lighter now after I picked my salad greens. Never realized until now that the young greens are quite nuttritious. So thanks to you I'm enjoying cannabis's culinary uses. LOL 🍏

[rockman]

Bubba's one month old birthday was yesterday....celebration time!! 🍰 😊

[Tika]

Happy Birthday TOOOOOO YOUUUUU

[rockman]

What a voice you have Tika! 😊 Bubba sends a kiss 💝

[Tika]

LOL my voice is pretty much like Leonard Cohen's..so it's a five minute TOOOO YOUUUU

[insomniaczzz]

Look beautiful!! You're going to get a nice harvest. I do think you could snip out some more leaves though. Just my .02 worth of unsolicited advice. LOL

[rockman]

Thanks Insomm..I'm expecting something good with her. 😊 As far as defoliating, I've been doing it lightly now, only removing those leaves that don't get enough light to justify them. And believe me...since I discovered that these tender leaves make a supercharged salad green, I'm.not opposed to thinning. Just want to let my baby get a little more strength from working leaves. More extreme defoliation can come later 🌿🌿

[rockman]

Buds are really starting to take off. With the shape developing the way it is, surrounding it with CFL bulbs to cover all leaves is quite easy this time. 😊

[Tika]

That is one efficient girl there! Just love it.

[rockman]

Love her too Tika! 💚 She's everything I was hoping for in this experimental grow....so far at least....time will tell. 🌿

Under the lights, 31 days from sprouting. 🌻 🌻
