All three girls have roots in the water and should really start taking off now. Hazel has twice as many roots as 24 hours ago, so there’s not much chance of her not making it. A plan has been formulating since I realized both Suzies we’re gonna make it. If nothing else it should be interesting. Happy Pharming! Thanks for showing up to watch the grass grow - next post in a few days for me.

- Start date
Good Morning GWE!
I started the countdown earlier as to when to expect a harvest with a starting date of January 5th - as the start date for Suzie #2 is about 5 days after that. For counting purposes I’m counting today as day 10 for me. Which from this end will make the official starting date 10 of January 2022. Harvest should be about Mid May.
For the Suzies the plan is to grow each of them out as half a plant so that together they equal 1 plant in the tub. I haven’t done any topping yet, but soon. As you will see from the pictures training has already begun on the Suzies.

The purple bubba is looking fine and working on her 4th node at 3 weeks. The other 4, critical mass, are 5 days behind working hard on their 2nd node. I don't see roots at the bottom of the solo cups yet but very soon I will transplant to 7 gallon. I'm sure your all sick of the baby pics but it's for the record.
A small update on Suzie, Suzie and Hazel.
My girls are short. Suzie 1 and Hazel are running neck and neck at maybe 3cm (1.2â€) above the hydroton. Both tubs are running right at 21c (70f) and water level are at 8.9cm (3.6â€) below the bottom of the net pot - just about where they should be. Ambient air temp average is 22.8c (73f) with 16% RH. It will be topping time next time I blink twice; it’s getting pretty close for Suzie 1.

Ok now we're talking gentlemen. Toka I see the Bonnie planters. So you paid way too much for the veggie or flower that came in it just like all of us lol.. They seem to have the market cornered in my neck of the woods. 2.50 for a single tomato plant is nuts. BUTB I love watching you do your hydro thing bro but your power point presentation is over my head. Just joking with both of you. #gitrdone.
Suzie Suzie & Hazel this morning. 29 January 2022
If you’re wondering WTF is going on with Suzie & Suzie let me ‘splain my reasoning for Suzie (not Suzie) being stripped bare; the two thing that will always slow growth are A) Topping & B) Defoliation. Topping had already been done so the only other option was defoliation - with a goal of keeping S&S as even in growth as possible (even though S1 is 5 days older than S2).

Haha yeah they were too expensive, came in a tray as a starter kit for veggies however I've used them 5 or 6 times in 2 years so it evens out.

The three girls are doing fine and as predicted have kicked into over-drive. Hazels topping turned out to be a FIM so she is proudly showing off her four main branches. Here’s the latest photo, of Suzie, Suzie (Purple Platinum Kush) and fat old Hazel (Purple Bubba)

Week 3 update: 1 February 2022
Training is well underway and the girls are looking pretty good. I thought I would toss in a few photo's on week 3 of the grow and give you a peek at roots while it's still feasible to do so. Without further adieu here are Suzie, Suzie & Hazel as of this morning.

Why do you suppose roots in hydro get so big? As all the roots are in the same water can't they get enough through just a few? Just a random thought.

Thank you BU2B for these pictures. When my seeds arrive I'll know better what to do, I need to 'see' things, a visual-learner.
I started my 3 Mag seeds plus some herbs in the Aero-Garden, separating those roots was a trip but they all survived the transplant. The 'water bowl' was a jungle of roots.
