Update:
Things are moving right along with strong growth and glowing health. I am seeing some minor leaf sucker evidence. When my sprayer full of rosemary-citronella-Azatrol ran out two weeks ago I never made another batch. I have the herbs steeping for a new batch. I'm also going to add a new ingredient to that foliar bug defense. I have some SeaCon-PGR which is a concentrated organic cold water kelp extract. It was highly recommended to me by a non-member. It is used at 5ml per gallon. I'm going to spray weekly for the next five weeks and am contemplating a soil drench or two with the same formula. I'm continuing to top dress when I water with a mixture of the flower soil, worm castings, Yum Yum and a pinch of high P guano. The plants have been in the containers for ten weeks now. Don't want my dirt to run out of gas. Brix readings on Alpha and Beta this morning were 14 and 13.5 respectively.
It is becoming difficult to get pictures of the whole plants in the greenhouse due to their size. There is adequate room in there to get around and inspect and water, but it is very difficult to get whole plant pictures.
First a family photo taken from outside the greenhouse looking in.
Neglected clone is 2 feet 3 inches tall measuring from the top of the soil. Looking at it in the above picture gives you a good idea of how big the other plants are.
Alpha is 3 feet four inches tall from the top of the soil and a solid three feet across in both directions. There are going to be a ton of flowers on this plant.
Beta measures 27"x22" across the top of the canopy and is much shorter than Alpha. I mentioned in the last update that I wish I hadn't done any LST and just topped her up a little more. I've been thinking about that a little. The first time I grew the WP I tried to LST it and it didn't respond by throwing out new branches at all. Graytail was growing the same strain and had some nice bushes. I asked how he had achieved it and he replied that he had just topped the plant a few times, and did a little manual redirection without tie downs. I don't think this strain is a good candidate for bondage style LST. Its dwarf genetics seem to do much better with topping. Granted, Beta is also in a seven gallon container and Alpha is in a ten. Beta is a bit ahead of Alpha in the flowering department.

Just saying.

I am ashamed of myself for not coming to your yard more often, PeeJay. I'm glad you saw my yum-yum pic, I see 2 friends from my yard have jumped ship & joined the educational fun in here.
