atu grow # 9 (number 9, number 9, number 9...)

Just writing to myself, listen in if you want...

Switch to 12/12: In the middle of 30 hours of darkness in grow boxes. Yesterday it just hit me that it was time to flip to flower. They were so ready, some (more Sativa) stretching quickly every day (which I couldn't allow to continue or they'd out grow my box), and some (more Indica) so dense with thickly huge--no wimpy leaves these--, 9 finger leaves and bud sites all crammed together. It's really fascinating to watch the two boxes, one Sativa-strong hybrids and the other Indica-strong hybrids, and just observe the growing patterns of each group.

Growth patterns: After last reservoir change on Saturday, the Sativa girls started quicker stretching each day. I was adjusting the LST sometimes twice a day, the newest internode would stretch out and I'd move the tie down up higher. I broke one big stem but not completely off, and I quickly applied first aid and bandaged her back together. She was fine in the afternoon, but no way was I gonna try to train her again, and she was the tallest one. So I bow to the plants' wisdom and switch them to 12/12.

Death of WW: I removed White Widow on Sunday and put her in the wood stove, where she fragrantly burned on her pyre. Jack Herer (definitely showing Indica-dominant characteristics so far, and so is C99) is going to move into part of the space from the rear, and C99 will will come from beside. Once they really start stretching.

I've spent a good amount of time with these girls, doing the training, and I've missed not seeing them today!! I cannot wait to see them in the morning, don't know if I'll be able to sleep. Will also take measurements of each plants' height so I can record the stretch. I'm excited to do that for the first time.
 
Lights back on this morning; they liked the darkness. Growth is strong. Life is good.

Stay warm, all my friends wherever it's freezing!!!

PaganRich Me too!!! I'm taking things a bit slower... and I do love the new nutes.

LurkingInTheGrass You are correct. Front left in HID box. She's slightly shorter than the other 3, but growing strong. I can't wait to see what they do in the next 3 weeks!
 
I'm going to look them up ,so this will make you smile ,kids had a two hour delay for school reason it was -8 to start the day yikes , I went out to feed and water the chickens and that was it didn't go out again ,Delaneys mom wanted to bring her to school so I happily agreed lol next week its supposed to be in the 40/50 range
 
Looking good Atu, coming along nicely. Atu, have you ever cooked Toad in the Hole? Serious question-and if so, what is the name for it over there? I do like your setup lass, reminds me of Blake 7-do you remember that? Very futuristic
 
Ola Alltatup known that your girls have recovered great. You said that you are using as a plant training technique with lts. I am not seeing this technique here. I advise you to go and open those branches and remove all the leaves that are in the back part of the branch. I try to explain better, when you bend a branch all the leaves and the gem sites that look down should be removed. 2Cents
 
Alltatup, mine are not critical, but you're doing a great job. I want you to put the icing on the cake. As I told you I would open the branches more, I noticed that you have space to do it. If you open the branches more you will see that some leaves are pointing downwards. These leaves in turn will turn upward by obscuring gem sites. For this they must be eliminated, they are just a supply of food. I'm not telling you to do it, I just gave you an explanation.
 
I hear you. I know that the more bud sites exposed to light during the 3 weeks of stretching, the bigger they will get. I like a lot of leaves to power the stretch, and my bud sites are exposed. When I see leaves blocking bud sites or sweating on each other, I remove them.
 
If comparing the past to todays way of life? I did live and experience the best! Especially some of the weed from my time. Late 60's early 70's Still have the white album.
