Gov's Pineapple Chunk Mars II Excursion

G'day gov, a little off topic, I'll delete if required, but I remember you enjoy a cigar? Hope I'm right. I got a montecristo habana, I never smoke them, but I'll give this a go. What do they go with? How best to enjoy it? It was a Christmas present from nephew, better get into it before it drys up. Peace man
 
OOOooOooo...That should be a good smoke Grizz. Yes, I like a good cigar, though I rarely smoke them anymore. You can never go wrong in smoking a monte with a good single malt scotch (I prefer McCallum) or a Port Wine if the hard stuff isn't your gig.

You're welcome for the link MagicMediwana. It certainly isn't my idea, but I'm not too shy on the uptake if it works...and I'm convinced it does. Besides, I don't see it hurting anything so what the heck.
 
No, not concerned too much about distance. I've calculated I can grow up to 16-17 inches before flip with the ideal (for this cabinet) begin about 15". So, if I get over 12", but not quite to 15", oh well. Should be o.k. though with the topping and ability to tie down to the cages a bit.

They've already shown good signs of healing and resurgent growth after their top on Saturday. So, a small amount of defol later this week. Otherwise, it'll be business as usual. Interestingly, the cotyledon leaves are still attached and green. Usually those things turn and drop after the primary leaves are established.
 
Thanks artthug. :Namaste:

On another note, I was running a bit late today and when I checked on the ladies this morning, before heading into the salt mines, it looks like the "top" is still trying to be a FIM. When I saw it, I was tempted to clean it up and maintain the top, but I didn't. I'll grab a pic this afternoon when I get home.

It seems the roots still haven't hit the res yet as it's still pretty full. I still suspect this week they will dip their toes and really start drinking.

pics tonight.
 
Regular update:

I snapped these photos showing the growth coming from the small bit of the top I removed a few days ago. It looks like it's just going to grow, so I'm going to let it unless someone chimes in with a good reason to clean it up a little.

note: I typed all this last night and apparently neglected to post. Thank you auto-save!

Hey thanks MM. What's cool is there is all kinds of action going on under their skirts right now, and most of it you can't even see yet. Another week and they should be showing more and depending on how this "topping" turns out, I may be bending some stuff around today tomorrow. They apparently had a healthy drink yesterday and most likely have reached the res (with their roots). I'll feed tomorrow a.m.
 
Hey All! Here's a quick Friday night update with a few pics. They are fairly generic, but still show enough to be able to see what's going on with them.

Looking great gov, geez you get some quick growth. If I didn't have all these bags of coir I'd just use 100% perlite. Lolo (right) bushy plenty of growth, funny how this side is getting the quicker growth this grow, but then lil sis ended up giving more weight didn't she? Wonder if it'll be same this grow with right side giving more weight, I'm stoned man:) loving it gov, peace
 
Thanks all, and welcome aboard lex.

Yeah Grizz, I haven't really done any defol yet, and the last 2 days I've found myself standing in front of them, staring and trying to get a vibe for how I want to proceed. But, it really looks like I'll go another week, do some defol to remove some bottom clutter and shade leaves and throw them into flower a week later. I'm looking for at least 2 more weeks to get the 6-week veg I wanted as minimum.

I think it's interesting to see the differences in growth traits within the same breeder's pack too. I was very careful to plant the seeds this time such that I may avoid the broken tap root it looked like I may have had last time. The leaf patterns are the same, and they both are doing well, although, Lolo exhibits more vigor. Their stems are already the thickness of a pencil and structure looks good. Another reason I wanted to wait another week to defol is in the hope they will grow a couple more inches and make it easier to get under their skirts.

peace
 
Well, here are a few of the pics from early this morning. I clipped a few of the fully-shadowed, curled undergrowth, and I think they appreciated it as they were both praying strongly this afternoon. I'll trim more this weekend and better-assess the potential flip date as Saturday will start the 6th week from seed. Probably 1 more week, but will depend on when they hit the first rail of the cage.

Thanks man. I've got it all in a spare bedroom right now. I'm passively considering expanding a little bit. I've been thinking about putting in a veg tent, but no concrete plans yet.
 
Hey Governmentchz! Just wanted to swing by and see how things were going over here. Looks like your plants are growing nicely, very healthy! Ill swing by time to time if ya don't mind :) subbed!
