I didn't intend to be around here this long to be truthful.
Don't fret though. I kind of like it here. There's some very good company and the site seems to support genuine freedom of speech which is incredibly rare and something in which I strongly believe.
And until I get another job I have naff all else to do.

I'm thinking I'm out when Beatrice gets razed, to be honest. I'm sure I'll pop back in for advice and questions if I have any, but I feel like I've gotten past the "dumbass" stage and can figure stuff out a bit by trying things or searching the FAQs / Forums. Also, since this server is physically in the US (figured out by career skills), I am not willing to post yields and things like that, as the US government could easily confiscate the server from the owners of the rollitup.org domain with a simple warrant. That's not an issue for you UK blokes, etc., but for me, it is. I'll be forced to do the whole, "Yeah.. all my plants died from fungal infection the day before I harvested, but if I'd harvested, it'd look like this!" That kinda blows.
I, for one, appreciate your willingness to stick out Pandora, since it really helped me figure out how I want to run my own perpetual or what I can move to if my concept fails. I tend to agree with you that the 6 cup thing could get hairy.. especially if this growth rate keeps up! Moreso when I've had my clones vegging for 2+ months while their parents bloom! The 3 tall planters seems to really work if you yank the shit outta your limbs, though.

Who knows what tomorrow brings.
Just had a look in on the girls. Amber's getting big quickly. She's more or less covering the pot already and I think things will be getting crowded in there by the time Pandora takes the long walk.
In a way it's lucky SketzoH junior triggered early or I'd have another beastie in there to contend with!
Here's a a family snap to show how Amber is growing and some pics of Pandora's colas. Very nice

Hey fs. Amber is going to be a handful I think I'm already using ties on one of the sidebranches. She starts on nutes next feed so I'm expecting great things.
Yo worm. If money is tight have a go in the HP. I think you could use most of the techniques I use but let it fill the case sideways so it looks like a scrog. There's tricks to create an extra inch or 2 as well. If I were to put one of my pots on its side the plant would have the same volume of soil but it would lower the soil level by 2 or 3 inches.
If you used a 3 litre lemonade bottle on its side you could get a similar effect but with much more soil than I'm using and that will translate directly into better yields so it may prove to be a good option.
I'd give it a try before I scrapped it, but then I'm just a tightwad

Hey DW. This one's for you fella.
1st pic is Amber from a week ago.
2nd pic is from last night to show the difference.
pics 3 & 4 show how I tuck the big top leaf under the lower ones to expose lower growth.
Last pic shows just how hard I pull on those ties!

Couple more pics from last night.
First 2 are the same pic of SketzoH junior. She may be dainty but my word does she smell good
The other 3 are Pandora. A pic of the main cola and a side cola and also a crop of the side cola. Still not much in the way of amber trichs but they will be along soon I'm sure
I've checked the long range weather forecast for the pc case and the great weather is set to continue

Bravo! Excellent stuff, as always, my friend. So.. how do you keep that leaf down? Just by tucking it? I have one fan leaf that's sorta wedged in between the side of the cup and the stem, which seems to be working well, but I have to keep tucking it. For me, my plant is so damned dwarfed from my n00b mistakes that my internode spacing is ridiculous. There's no way I can tuck all those leaves, thus my snip. Have you ever snipped? I'd be curious to see how it turns out for you.

Hey ER.
I do have to keep pushing the shaders down for a couple of days but the plant gets the picture soon enough
I've snipped and pruned before and would do it again if circumstances called for it, but it's a bit of a false economy in my experience. It's like that scene in Disney's Fantasia, every time you cut one down another 2 smaller ones cause even more trouble!
I do think there's merit in using pruning in a pc case though. If you look at some of the bonsai moms, it can be very effective in restricting growth.
Cheers DW.
I'll pass on your compliments to Pandora
The trick with bending harder parts of the plant is to do a little each day until she goes where you want. You'll tumble it.

Hey peeps. Sorry for the late update. My daughter is getting married in a couple of weeks and has been a bit upset with it all so she stayed with me for the weekend. It looks like everything is sorted now and she's back on top thank goodness.
Got a few pics to show where Pandora is up to. First is from 2 days ago and it's the top of the main cola. The other 2 are a side view and one of the middle of the canopy.
It's all looking good but I'd prefer a few more amber trichs by now. She's getting a bit tubby though so I musn't grumble
No sign of any plexiglass yet
