Thanks for stopping by, Canna. It's a busy time of year for me, so there's not much new to see around these parts. Hopefully I'll have the time to make an update this weekend.
Chronic weekend to ya Pj

Finally, time for an update. The weather has been moody the last four days or so. The outdoor girls haven't be getting the light juice they usually do, and the days are shorter all the time. But they are doing very well. Helen is the one who has been difficult - hasn't ever really stopped being pissed about the major defol. Here she is from the top down. You can see there are a bazillion bud sites, they just aren't doing that much.
She's extra moody today since she got watered and fed. Seems like any little thing makes her lose her posture. No sign's of any nute deficiency or anything. She's getting more light than the others. Just seems like she's in a funk. If all those little buds swell up in the next 3-5 weeks she should yield well. A couple more photos:
All the big plants have been living on nothing but tea made of Yum Yum Mix, worm castings, high P guano, rock phosphate, and trace mineral clay. Colette has been kicking some butt even though she's been getting three hours less light than Helen. Here's a pic of one half of her, and one of a cola. She's very frosty and stinks to high heaven.
Both the White Panthers are living up to the "White" part of their name. Very frosty. Dyarina is 10 days ahead of Roxy and is showing nice cola building and deeper tones than her younger sister. Dyarina:
The White Panthers are a fun plant. I'm glad I have several more seeds. Here's Roxy.
The Dark Stars are three weeks old. I need to start training them.
Here's a crappy photo of little Blunder hiding under Grace. Blunder is getting bigger, but it still very tiny. I need to get her more light.
With luck the moody weather will go away and I'll get a good streak of blinding sun!

That's my guess. She has great potential if she decides to pick up her droopy drawers.
I have a feeling Helen will get over it.....I have to agree with Chronic though, that was quite a major defol she has to recover from.
The rest of the girls are looking frosty as a snowman, and Roxy is sure looking foxy!
Blunder is like a tiny tree in a forest pushing, kicking and swearing at all the big bully trees around to give her some room for light. ;-)
Inspiration I always leave with here too.

It's hard to gauge.... Helen may be making more grams of bud per-day than Colette with the insane numbers of sites she has getting light. We'll see how it turns out. She's gonna easily throw more than a zip.
You have some lovely frost goin' on there, PeeJay.
Nice lookin' Panthers! :

the other thing I forgot to mention about heavy defoliation is
the buds do not do photosynthesis only the leaves do when you do a real heavy defol itll produce more leaves

Thanks Graytail. Your Panthers are rockin'. I'm sure mine are suffering somewhat from the short hours of light they are getting. They look and smell incredible. We'll see how they smoke in a month or so.

In the end, whatever happens with the major defol, I did it because I wasn't concerned if it made a mess of the plant. Barring tradgedy, I'm going to harvest way more than I set out to on my first grow. I don't smoke that much. An 8th of good weed lasts me like a month.

that's damn good 1/8 a month
Things are looking frosty over here PeeJay 
I noticed some spots on the leaf facing the camera on the larger cola shot, Did you have some spider mites ? Could be just a trick of light maybe, its always so hard to tell in pictures unless its like so close you can be assured. I noticed on the one girl that I did a major defoliation attack and it took awhile for it to start putting on weight again want to say like 2 weeks of recovery before I started to notice growth again. If I remember correctly I read that flowering plants tend not to put or waste energy in making new leaves once the major fan leaves are removed which is why it is so critical to keep a plants canopy healthy.

Good eye, Dyold. I noticed that in the picture, too. I found the spots on the leaf and they appeared to be just plain old dirt and brushed right off.
The greenhouse in now plant free. I did some murdering. Ya know, it was a pain in the ass going out and rolling back the cover. Putting the cover on when it got dark. Last week's stretch of gray weather made things more difficult. It was hard to keep the thing warm in the day with no sun. When the sun was there it was great, but I was blowing lots of watts heating the damn thing. And, it was getting really stinky. I felt like I was hanging a banner at the door that said, "BREAK IN AND ROB THIS HOME."
With another stretch of cold gray weather set to roll in, and a desire to go away for a few days at Thanksgiving, I murdered Colette and Dyarina. I also whacked four colas off Helen so she'd fit sideways in the cabinet. Roxy and Helen are going to live indoors.
I took a couple of small test buds off Colette and Dy over the weekend. They weren't bad. I can only imagine how good they would've been if left to mature. Don't know how much of this I'll smoke. It might all go into a batch of butter or a run through some hash bags.
Probably an ounce and a half or a little more of decent nugs, and a bowl of trim:
I was pleasantly surprised by the density and development of Helen's nugs. She's kind of deceptive, but overall it seems like her tops are bigger than Helen's... Less mature overall, but she seems to be bouncing back from the defol. Helen on the left, and Colette on the right:
No regrets. It would have been cool to let everyone go the distance, but it's nice to be free of the hassle. Maintaining the greenhouse would have been increasingly time consuming and stressful. I don't need that much product.
So, here are Roxy and Helen in their permanent home. Three - five weeks to go, I reckon.

Nice looking bud, PeeJay! Early, but the high should be clean and sweet. Congrats and +reps!
Your White Panthers still look a lot more indica than mine - interesting. Yours came from Ceres, right?

Yup, Ceres. Could be Doc's kit sativafication going on with yours. The cola from the White Panther is the second one on the left on the white hanger, if you're curious, Graytail. It would have been quite nice given more time to plump up.
