You have them holding a nice block shape and I sure like that look.

Zkittlez is droopy, I'm giving it an hour to wake up. If she's still droopy then I'll give her some water.
A couple of the clones could use a drink too.
I've added a couple of pics of the two Blueberry clones that are growing out of some issues.
The first one is reacting to her burned meristem as if I topped her, and the second one is reacting as if I had fimmed her.
I like them, messed up as they are.

Thanks Nev!
Hey el Beardo 
Looking good! Wish I could keep my tall streaks low and wide like that.

I'm thinking of trimming off some of the screwed up leaves on the lower parts of some of the clones.
Most or all of them will be going to my neighbour in the not to distant future. I just want to make sure they're all growing
well before they go to him.

How long have you been in veg now?

Thanks GG!Looking great Mel.
Well, the Blueberry sprouted December 8th, and the Zkittlez sprouted 6 days later.
So, 61 days for the BB, and 55 for the Zkittlez.
I'm planning to flip in another 7 days or do.
I forgot to mention earlier, I'm still planning on putting in a dowel or two for the Zkittlez, it's just been slipping my mind.
I'll try to get it done tomorrow afternoon right before I take pics.
As long as those clones are rooted anything you take off will spur new growth up top!

I got the dowel in, but after the third time I dropped my phone I gave up trying to get pics of the process.
I put the dowel up against the stem resting on the rim of the pot.
I use the soft green gardening wire to wrap around the dowel and the branch near the stem, then move to the branch on the other side.
Alternating branches, I put in more wire strapping them to the dowel until I get near the end.

I hope that helps you visualize the process.

Yes, they're all rooted. The last two cuttings have been disposed of. Neither had any trace of roots.
Leaves have been trimmed.

That definitely helps me. I'm going to try this method my next grow when I start a photoperiod again.
Thank you for the explanation Mel.
Nicely done on the tutorial Mel!
looks like trying to lay a trail through the jungle without a machete and a phone in hand.

I'm a little suspicious of what I'm seeing on the Zkittlez, aside from her being thirsty.
I think maybe she's a little more sensitive to photoperiod changes...

I like it because it's more secure than other methods and I'm not futzing around with wires and bulldog clips. I forgot that I intended to start this type of training earlier using BBQ skewers since the dowels are too heavy for a young plant. I also don't have the second dowel on the upper node like I did this summer, but I don't think it'll be needed.
I'll draw it out a bit when I post the other drawings for you.
Thanks, sorry it wasn't as clear as I intended. I'm working on a few drawings to clarify some of the things I've tried to describe.Nicely done on the tutorial Mel!

I'd say that sucker is flowering!

Which gives me a bit of a dilemma!
Do I flip early, or do I continue to give them veg hours for another week and risk her going into reveg?
I'm leaning towards flipping them tomorrow.

They got two days in a row of 14 hours instead of 18. I was late turning the light on.
That was late January, the 28th I think, so 12 days ago.
Well, a week early isn't too bad. They're both big enough for a decent grow. Now I'll be watching the Blueberry's height through stretch, lol.
Might want to start them off at 10/14 to try to make sure it doesn't reveg after 12 days back at 18/6.

How it hasn't revegged by now is beyond me!
I may have missed it, but why no timer on your lights. My absent minded arse would never remember to turn them on and off.
