He knows about it.....but he's not crazy about the idea. The boy doesn't drink or smoke weed. How he ended up with me is something I always ask myself.

Grow a heavy sativa and make him try it, he'll be supportive of your growing endeavors forever then :P The kids are looking good though.

They're getting there. I sampled Lisa last night. Wow! Good stuff.

ended up taking another clone off Minnie and took a clone off Veronica. Put them in water last night. Keep your fingers crossed.

2 of the three mystery bagseeds have sprouted and have been planted.

Regarding the bf, I plan on trying to make him smoke some of Veronica. she seems to be the most sativa of the group.

thanks. Maybe I'll try hydro next year, but I'm liking the soil getup for now.

Went in to measure this morning. Plant 5 is taking off. Again, it was damn near touching the light. Had to raise the light. It grew 1.5" since yesterday and is the first one showing definite signs. I saw all kinds of preflowers this morning on it, and while I'd swear they were balls, there's only one at each node and the "cola" looks like it could have white hairs. The top nodes also haven't gotten their secondary branches. It's one big stem w/ fan leaves.

I'll wait until tonight or tomorrow to make the male/female call. I tried to get in there with the scope but with my shaky hands, it was difficult. What I finally focused in on was not round, but more oblong, with no stem. That says female to me, but with it being the first to show signs, and it's quick growth tells me I might be wrong. We'll see.

Growth from yesterday is as follows:
Plant 1 - 3/8"
Plant 2 - 1/8"
Plant 3 - 1/4"
Plant 4 - 0
Plant 5 - 1 1/2"
Plant 6 - 0
try this on for size:weed:

The girls are definitely showing their colors. Their breed differences are more and more apparent as they get further into flower. We're starting to get the yellowing bottom fan leaves. Every day when I go in, I pull off one more. I know it's natural at this stage, but it's still sad to see them go.

The first picture is Tessa. She has a lot of crystals and hairs, but none of her hairs have turned brown yet. Trichs still clear.

The second picture is Lisa, the LST experiment, which turned out to be a really crooked plant. Her hairs are already half to 60% brown, but her trichs aren't amber yet. No amber to be seen. The trichs are cloudy. She flowered first, and is the one I've been sampling. She has potential.

The third picture is Veronica, the sativa that just won't quit. Lots and lots of white hairs. The contrast of the dark green leaves and white hairs is yummy. All other plants are light green. She's a real deep dark green. She's the tallest with the biggest fan leaves that keep getting their tips burnt because they grow into the lights.

The forth picture is Minnie, the suprise pink indica. For a few days the pink faded a bit, but it's coming back in the cola. she's super covered in crystals, and the cola is the thickest of all of them. I'm really looking forward to this one. I've successfully cloned her once and that baby is growing under 18/6 under daylight CFLs and thriving. Yay!

The sixth picture is the baby. It's 15" tall, has 5 nodes, and one one little tiny bud. A second is starting to fill in on the bottom. I expect maybe one night's buzz off this one.

Yeah, they're really stinking up the place. If my damn cat would stop eating my plants, I might be able to yield something. :)

The little white effer somehow managed to get the closet door open some time today. I came home and rounded the corner and my heart sunk when I saw the door open. This time he only ate two small fan leaves off the baby. , Unfortunately, it only has about two left, so it looks pitiful.

Pink Minnie is getting downright scrumptious looking. No signs of any amber at all, though. I've seen one or two amber trichs on Lisa and she's the only plant to show any kind of brown hair in the buds yet. The others are all bright white still. They're bushy as hell, but still stark white.
