Looking on key bud

Thanks Joe! They are all praying to the light and looking perky as! There's a lot of undergrowth already shooting out on a couple of them .

 

[Stupidface]

They look fimming great dude.

Cheers man! Yours are coming along splendidly . idk if that's a word now that I say it?

I wonder if your girls will inherit your sense of humor? .

I doubt it. I'm a cruel task master. I tend to open the tent and yell at them to grow more. Always have the fiskars in my hand. You know, because of the implication.

Thought I'd post these as a reference for the further, I guess I didn't really explain fimming or topping so this should sum it up for any new folks following. They were snapshots I took reading before I started my journal props to those in the pics .

Basically just trying to multiply the amount of budsites for increased canopy consistency, light penetration and in turn yield! It's a great technique from what I've seen and I'm stoked to try it now!

That's a good pic to explain fimming! I tried what I thought was fimming(removing the top 20% of the new node) and saw no real difference but after seeing the pic I see what I did wrong xD

Looks good Big, hope youre having a good night bud

Yea I don't think I actually did it right but I'll at least slow vertical growth and get 2 main branches on all of them so all good!

Hope you had a kick ass Monday Shorti! We can continue the sesh from this morning now if you want . I'm ready to pull out the indica!

You'll get some nice branching for sure, excited to see it happen

I've had a pretty kickass monday Big, I hope you have too - Glad you have the indica cause all I've got is some nice Sativa LSD as my indica cures out pass it on over

Yumm LSD I've always wanted to try that strain! Alright well I've got some death bubba so I'll start rollin a couple!

I've seen up to 7 new branches from fim'ing as opposed to the two you get from topping.

The term FIM was supposedly coined from not topping deep enough and stands for "Fuck I Missed".

But if you were attempting to fim and you missed, thus topping the plant, wouldn't that make topping the new fim? Or is it a fimmfim? Fuck I missed my fuck I missed!

I read this and couldn't decide which it was. So I smoked 2/3 of a cone, thought again, and its definitely the latter.

I had to do the same XD

Definitely more the latter though I'd prefer to refer to it as an ifufim XD

intentionally f'd up f$%^ I missed XD

Early night time update!

Plants seem to be doing well so I started a bit of lst on a few of them, I'm gunna let jewel and moira go for now .

Psycho WW Day 23

Psycho got pulled clear over to the other side of the pot because she needs to be isolated from the others :/

Jewel BC Day 22

I left jewel alone cause she's gorgeous and she's going to have lots of long delicious limbs as is so I'll wait for her to age gracefully

Angel WW Day 21

Angel is doing well but were gunna pull her over and get more light to those lower regions

Moira BC Day 21

Moira is built like a brick shit house so we're gunna let her do her thing for a bit, I couldn't get between those nodes if I tried, she makes a guy work for it. I admire her .

Alecxks BC Day 21

Alecxks is just a dirty girl, she loves the dark stuff so she's taking it like a champ, can't wait to see how she grows up under my.guiding hand .

Ok enough dirty analogies for these beautiful girls, they are still just girls . . so sweet and innocent though I guess a few of them got to second base today:S jeeze they grow up too fast!

G'night homies!

[Scrogdawg]

With the number of branches your going to have from your FIM I wouldn't get to hung up on getting light to anything lower as that part won't see any light in a couple of weeks anyway. You'll most likely end up removing the lower growth in a defol down the line. Those things sure look happy and are getting some nice growth right now. Great job so far.

Thanks SD!

Yea it's definitely not necessary for me to tie em down right now but it's part of the training program for these girls. Boss says I get quarterly performance incentives if I push these little brats .

Defol will definitely happen in a few weeks here, but I want these plants to grow in wierd ways so I'm gunna do strange things to them while they are young and malleable. Loves me a wierd ass lady lol

Cheers SD!

Morning pics shortly!

Good morning y'all! Well afternoon now, even where I am! Plants look happy as so I'm continuing with the lst. Basically the plan is to plant these gals in a 10 gallon on one side and pull the main stems all the way over to the other side of the pot, retraining it to stay low each day. By the time it's over to the other side of the monster pot well have tons of lower growth making itself useful by shooting up and well have a ridiculous looking Franken bush that grows to one side. This is perfect as I'm running 5 plants in a square so the middle one I'll let Christmas tree a bit and the other ones I'll train to the side and fill out the gaps in the tent! It'll be some crazy shit but kind of my version of supercropping, just a low stress version lol well see how it works!

Psycho WW Day 24

Jewel BC Day 23

She makes that 120 liter garbage can lid look small :S

Angel WW Day 22

Angel is really liking the training, the attention

Moira BC Day 22

Check out these nodes, no lst yet XD other than spreading fan leaves to let more light down

Alecxks BC Day 22

Such a sexy little thing, so eager to please .

They all look really happy and will be ready for a plain watering tomorrow morning!

As I was wrapping up I got a delivery notification for the light!

Seems to be of pretty good quality! Definitely super bright so it'll light up my 36x18x60 well! I'll get it hung and see how it covers the tent! Still waiting on more stuff so I can finish setting up the veg tent, mainly an exhaust fan so final set up will be by the end of the week!

Hope everyone has a great day! Cheers folks!
