Did some training of the mother-plants today. Have an extra Pure Power Plant that won't be a mother, but I still kept it around. Wondering about flowering that one as soon as I have some space available to do so. Been considering to buy another tent. Was kinda brutal with that one during training. Check out what happened! I have seen so many people panic when they have accidents like this one with their plants. To show you just how sturdy the cannabis plant is, I did not even bother to tape it together. I think it will not only survive, but even thrive when the big shock is over
As you can see the stem got split in half when I forced the branches too far down.

Also trained the other plants. Were a little more careful with them. I would not recommend stressing the mother-plants too much. Even if they do survive a lot, we don't want them to go hermie on us or become seriously stunted. After all we want to take healthy cuttings from them for years to come.
Here is a photo of my favorite bedtime strain. Big-Bud #3 - Purple pheno. I also have Big-Bud #1 - Green pheno in this tent. I love them both. They both give me a couch-lock narcotic high and they both make me sleep very well. But there is a difference between them. When I get too tolerant to one of them I just switch to the other and voila - no more tolerance issues. I can't keep several mothers of all my favorite strains due to space restrictions, but for this one I keep two different phenos.
Big-Bud #3 - Purple pheno. This one has a beautiful purple stem. Think I wanna bonsai a cutting from this one as it's so pretty.
The rest of the plants are starting to come up now. The 3 skulls with catnip can probably be moved out of the tent in a week or two. Thinking about taking cuttings and plant outside. They should be able to survive outside soon.
The two tomato bushes will be put in air-pots and be grown side by side with the autos. It will be an interesting summer indeed. My very first autos
Current status of the "mother-tent" which in reality function more like a multi-function tent.
Because I have the first Pro-series Mars lamp in the tent, I have a great flexibility I don't have in the main-room. I can adjust the light very precise so it can be used for rooting, seedlings, vegg, flowering, etc. Now I am running both red/blue on 100% because it's still kinda cold in the garage. Usually I prefer running the lamp on 50-60% blue and 0% red for mother-plants. To make them grow slow but still avoid stretching. For cuttings I use only blue and usually on 30-40%
Guess that was all for today. Next update will be from the main-room
over and out
