So to all you peeps who actually read the thread and guessed a name, much respect and many thanks. Sorry to MR West for spoiling his fun, I feel he was genuinely upset when I told him earlier on.

(how many views on the thread against guesses - piss poor ratio IMO:finger:)

So the game ends now. No more guessing, they are as the title say's Casey Jones. And I can't wait, seeing what Jig done with his, and also the donator of the clones, just awesome. I have not topped the first one, just manipulated it with poles and ties to get a nice bushy shape.

Lovin it:

And the same girl from above:


And here's the girl that was super cropped:


So that's my update for Sunday. Happy to be in flowering. I also sorted my little veg cabinet yesterday with my new 300w 6500 cfl....

Peace out, DST

I know, only 10 plus weeks to go - lol. Well, lets look on the bright side, the OG Kush's are best as they hit week 9, so a little bit less!

Was checking the pic of Thelma and Louise, it looks as though the whole side of the plant is yellow, but that's just the HPS shining on it, honest indjians!lol

T & L are looking like monsters. The other plants a looking great too. Such pretty leaves. The HB's are looking nice. They are all nice.

The cliff dwellers are looking more and more adapted to their enviroment all the time. :bigjoint:

This is my take, or what i was thinking. The original cliff dwellers were planted at an angle into the bags. So aubsequently had the weight of coco on top of the roots. i think this has slowed things down as far as growth is concerned, probably restricting the roots. The next time they get planted on top and bent down for sure. But that OG kush pictured above is growing sideways, it's great. You know what it's like manipulating your plants, like the tomato growers, this seems to boost them some how. Too stoned to look into the scientific side, but it has to do with the internal channels within the stems (I think) Ok, rambling now peeps. Thanks for stopping by neeber.

DST oot,

Peace

I'm just gonna dig up a post I made a few months ago... easier that way, so I don't start proofreading and adding more and more each time. :lol:

One of these years I might write up a "tutorial" (so to speak) on LST. Not so much "how" to tie the plants; that's the easy part. ;) Many people think that LST's benefit is allowing for light to penetrate as many potential bud sites as possible. While this does happen, it's really only a "bonus" to LST; a side effect. The initial effect is, like toppping, redistributing the auxins (growth hormones) from focusing mainly at the top of the plant to the lower branches. This is the main reason for the sudden growth of the dormant bud sites, because the redistribution of the auxins basically "tricks" the plant into thinking that the lower branches are now all "main" colas. Of course, the main main cola won't be as large as it would if left alone, but you do end up with more buds that are of higher quality and less popcorn buds. This is why even tying the plant down just once will cause so much more growth from the secondary branches, giving a higher overall yield.

Sometimes you can fool with Mother Nature, so long as you play by her rules while you're at it. :hump:

Beautiful D. The countdown has most definitely begun.

Interesting lime colour on the cali O. I trust that's the way it's supposed to appear?
Good question Scotty.... They are all like that!!! Not very happy with them to be honest....we shall see. Some might get chucked when it comes to show and tell..:bigjoint:

De nada, señor. :blsmoke: Just passing along info I've learned from others. Pay it forward, and all that jazz. ;)

I've been really lagging behind the last month or so, so I apologize if this has already been discussed/done... that said, have you given those lime green plants more N to see if that strain just needs more than the rest of your plants? Sure is an interesting shade. :-?

Nope, not been discussed yet,:lol: They have been treated the same as the others, they had the same shitty treatment from the start:wall:, the Headbands new growth was green (they got fried at the start with me going away for the weekend as well:wall:) the 5 Cali O that I got are from seed from the White Company (sensi). they were given to me by someone and I felt I had to grow them....wouldn't have been my inital choice.
So yeh, could give it a go. Will let you know if there is any change. thanks again Kat. And pop round whenever you are free girl, it's all peace and lovely green here:bigjoint:

Well hell, a higher dose of N could be all they need, and then it could possibly become one of your fav's! ;) I finally got to try White Widow last week. Mine. :mrgreen: Now I am in love! :p I'll never be able to try all the strains I want, so having one indica dominant and one sativa dominant each that I like makes me happy for now. :D Though I'll try new strains down the road, when I'm finally able to afford to get some more anyway! And if I can stop getting so many males from the seeds I do have! :lol:

Thanks for the welcome mat... I'm pretty notorious for posting erratically, but I don't usually get so behind with the reading. :mrgreen:
