Do you think if you clipd the mango/or had clipd the mango it would have reverted back to 'normal' vegetive growth? Normal being 5, 7, +9 point fan leaves and increased interior branch structure. Anyway those 'hedges' look sweet. good growing.

Youn know I have thought about that myself. It is obviaously too late now, but yes I do think it may have helped it come back around. I did do some reading on the strain and it appears that it is finished early Sept, but it I would have liked it to grow right. I am not sure how it will finish, but don't have much of a choice now other than letting ti do it's thing. I am going to start treating the mango and the blue dream as flowering girls. I have been busy indoors, but will post an update in the next couple days.

no. Only after the plant has naturally begun to re-vegetate would it be encouraging to cut the flowering growth. The original flowering growths are used as energy to aid in fueling the plant with auxyns necessary for the hormonal transition from flowering to vegetating. Its actually quite a stressful process.

Looking forward to the update :D

Thanks for the clarification. That sounds familiar, from the one experience (that you helped me through) with re-vegging. So what do you think will happen with the mango now that she is flower with abnormal leaf growth?

she will have a "hard" flower. Just a little prolonged, maybe sparse in some areas that energy was transferred in confusion. From what I could tell she started flowering a while ago, and got the signal from the sun and the moon that it was time to veg, at which point it Began the point of moving its stored hormones to new shoots of growth. At the same time, however, summer solstice must have occurred and the days started to grow shorter. Thus further confusing the plant for a short period of time, just slightly stunting it, until it continues to finish flowering. This could go either way as a stress factor. Either the plant will embrace its role in producing the extra energy, and keep pumping out fat buds (I believe that may be the case), or it will not be able to provide enough energy to stay focused on what its doing and may go hermie (doubtful at this point, but still possible). A lot has to do with what they have to eat, and what the weather is like. The storms later in the year caused a lot of plants to start flowering or continue flowering longer into the main vegetative season.... especially up North, where days get shorter faster ;), but that would help the plant stay in flower at this point ;).

I'll keep a close eye on her for hermie. Thanks for the detailed explanation, makes sense. Least I got some growth out of her before she went full flower. Might not be a bad thing to have her finish earlier than the rest.;)

Yeah at least if she finishes early you can split up the trimming a little. Especially after the session you just had :)

I fed the ladies some compost tea today along with a good foliar feeding. I have gave the mango and blue dream a dose of bloom phat a few days ago along with some house and garden a/b. I gave the other three just the base nutes at the same time. I have been feeding them once a week and giving them the compost tea every two weeks. I water every other morning now.
The Mango and Blue Dream are both continuing to flower. The other three are still vegging. Chem Dog is really starting to steal the show and is a foot taller and wider than the super bud. The kimo blackberry us vegging full strength now and looks like she will be a squaty bush.
Hear are a few pics

Subscribed. Very well done. I also use a compost tea. What all do you put in yours?

Thank you. I am using Bountea which with humisoil. I am trying to get tickets to the august Elaine Engram microbial compost tea course in bay area. It is like a 4 day class that teaches everything about bacteria and teas. Supposed to show how to make your own. The bountea seems to work well though.
