Thank You, HH- My sons finally got a nephew!
Thank You, Shed!
yeah, the big 7-0! Whopeeee!
Thanks, HashGirl- My daughter's already talking about the next one...the birth went so well, she's considering having the next one at home...Mrs.C. had our last 2 in the living room!
Thank You, MGM!- I'd just as soon forget about birthdays from here on in..
No worries,T- You definitely made up for it with that cake!
====================================================================================
And now, how about a little Update on the 41 day old Blue Gelato 41?
She's been in the SIP (and the Grow Dots) for 27 days, and there's no problems so far...
Any problems will show up a little later on, like when the Dots run out of gas in about 23 days...
I took a lesson from @Grand Daddy Black , and I'm going to start fixing that problem before it becomes a problem- hopefully, it'll be a seamless transition from Grow Dots to no Dots...
Here's where we left her last Monday with apx. 18 bud sites...
And today-she's wider, but only a little bit taller, with apx. 36 budsites
This weeks training was mostly just making sure all the tops can see the light- whole lotta tucking going on...I do have to get some defoliating done soon, but not quite yet...
She's just 5" tall so far..I'm keeping this one tied down for a little longer than usual to get some more width on her before the flip in 10 days or so..
She's 16" wide now, I'm going for 20" before she gets to grow "up"
There's quite a few tops there- any branches/tops that haven't reached the canopy by flip time will get removed, but right now, they're all getting a chance to reach the top...
Lots of hooks on this one - she's a little branchier than the last few were...
I haven't adjusted anything yet today- she'll be about an inch or so wider once I do...
And there it is!
Thank You for having a look,
I really appreciate your support..
Have a great week, and may all your gardens be thriving!
Be still my heart! 
Please excuse me for getting a little wordy here.
But now that I sorta' have first-hand experience on the "proper" use of CarcassSticks®, I can really appreciate what I'm seeing at this point in your grow. And what I'm seeing is amazing!
And those look like new sticks!
I see you've gauged the Dots lifespan to be around 50 days. I'll probably mimic that the next time I use them. So who's taking a lesson from whom?
I love your grow-style because you keep your plants somewhat short, just the way I like 'em. They're a lot easier to move around IMO, and they produce fat hard buds in part due to their limited height (IMO) when grown in a confined space (a @CarcassBox® or a tent).
More Zale pics please. The plant is nice but...

Amazing! That's only apx. 4 shy of forty!
Amazing! She's gonna' get heavy but still have a good chance of supporting herself!
Amazing! And then same as last comment!
Amazing! More hooks equates to apx. 4 shy of 40 budsites!

I had to adjust the sticks, but I'm back now...
Once you get the principle figured out, that mess of sticks starts to make sense...
At least that's the plan! - the other 2 I've grown in this SIP have been self-supporting, hopefully this one follows suit...a little silica added to her water doesn't hurt, either...Amazing! She's gonna' get heavy but still have a good chance of supporting herself!
It's a coordinated effort, we'll get it figured out one way or another!I appreciate the shout-out Carcass.

I'm hoping this one gets a little taller than the usual 17-20 inches..but that all depends on the stretch...
Here's another pic from day 2 ...so serene...More Zale pics please. The plant is nice but...
Did you show him pics from my Serenity Grow? - Thread starter

Thanks so much, Keith- You'd be amazed at the noise

What another great box-plant Carcass! It's so cool that you can take every variety you grow and make it look like every other one with the training, and then stack the flowers so they're one version of Popeye's arms or another when they're done. 
on more perfection from that space.
And that grandbaby is so cute (when he's sleeping obv).

Great progress lil blue gelato!
p.s. happy belated bday Carcass! I hope it was a very special one for you.
I do think of GDB too, but mostly I think of Frank Costanza yelling “serenity now!!”

Thank You, Shed- I think she's going to be a good one...I know I always say that, but this one is reminding me of the way last year's GSC grew..
(a gift from the SoCal seed fairy )I think so too, Keith
Thanks, HH!
Shows what a bit of organized fiddling will do...
Hey @Carcass, your workout looks awesome. I'm curious how it will continue after the flipThank You, HH- My sons finally got a nephew!

Thank You, Kanno26!
I have a plan, but the plant may not go along with it...although, so far, so good...
I'm not kidding when I say that makes two of us!

If we use his grow history as our guide, flowering is even more beautiful than veg!

Thank You so much for the kind words, T!....I'm not sure how pretty she'll end up, but there'll be plenty of buds on her, that's for sure..
