Afghani #2 (Day 74)

Afghani #3 (Day 74) This one has developed a problem. Not certain what's going on here. I'll research and decide if it's worth the effort.

The cuttings.

Carnival (Day 73) Lots of bending and tucking. She's no worse for wear. Her branches are obviously strong, yet they maintain a very nice bit of flexibility. I have no concern at all of damaging her
.

Tons of new growth going on everywhere.

The canopy is leveling out nicely. The branches you see that are lower are there by design. Free, most are already at level. Now I just keep it up as the new growth settles in and I get to decide how big I want her to be at flip. She looks like she wants to be a monster bush. :slide:

All done for the night. Was your day as joyful as mine? Yeah, mine was pretty nice. A couple sweet surprises that have me smiling a lot. I'm assuming you spread or are in the process of spreading joy at every opening? Good. That's what I wanted to hear. :battingeyelashes:

Tomorrow begins a new week of possibility and wonder. Tonight I have the pleasure of Callanetics. Ahhh.... Contentment. I'm gonna do my best to enjoy every moment of it. Afterwards, I'll be around. I'll look for you. :Love:

:Namaste:
 
Girl, looks to me like you growing a heap o' dope up in there. Makes me proud to know I'm on the sidelines cheering. Better than any football game I've seen this season.

Hope this finds you rested and royalty baked.:Namaste:

Your cheering inspires me to try harder. Keep it up buckaroo. :kisstwo:

It's been an absolute pleasure to witness the blossoming of not just your plants but your ability to grow quality medicine :cheertwo::bravo::cheertwo::bravo:

Growlow!!! What a delightful surprise!!! :party: How've you been? I was just about to send out the search party for you mister!! :laughtwo:

Thank you. That's high praise coming from you. The whole thing is growing on me. I'm thinking about making my forced downgrade to include a little closet space devoted to the little beauties, since I apparently have a touch with them and they bring me such joy.

How interesting that both of you touched on my morning ruminations.

MY WAKE 'N BAKE

I suppose there could be a strong argument made about how I really don't need to medicate, but I think you'd be missing the overreaching reality that cannabis has many beneficial effects. For me there's a station of my mind where things are clearer in thought and the positive energy flows effortlessly. I find I achieve that level and stay there consistently with this small morning dose. Back it up with another around 5-6 in the evening and I'm good into the wee small hours of the morning. It's a warm and wonderful feeling to know when I roll out of bed in the morning that within half an hour of ingesting my Breakfast Brownie I'll be feeling normal again.

Let me finish eating this slice, get the shower out of the way and treat myself to breakfast along the river. These are pretty damned potent. They begin to kick within ten minutes. :woohoo:

Training Techniques: Carnival (Day 74)

Anybody else see the similarities? *Giggle*

image33466.jpg


There's a fair amount of simple bending at first, that really isn't simple at all, if approached correctly. My favorite image, and the one most inclined to get a chuckle out of me, is Graytail reaching firmly for the tip of the highest branch, right behind the leaf mass so as not to damage any new growth. The trick is in the pressure of the grasp, and the twist of the wrist that accompanies that gentle directing of the eager beaver to a lower stature. It's a quick and instinctive move and the branch usually laughs in his face and gleefully bounces back, so he frowns (it's the frown that makes me giggle every time haha!), and repeats that process with a slightly firmer tug this time to remind the plant who's boss here. See how much fun this imagery gets to be? You probably wouldn't last ten minutes inside this brain buckaroo. :cheesygrinsmiley:

Back to our image. This time the branch decides to be obedient and keeps her glance respectfully lowered as her sibling branches rush in for the free share of extra hormones she's released into the stream.

Easy. Just keep doing that over and over and over, keeping in mind that it's loving guidance, not dominant control. Can you see the distinction? Dominant control will increase your yields. It won't give you a plant this happy. I like to think my happy plant will reward me with SweetSue-specific meds. Some day science may back up my instinct.

Lots of new growth going on. This is what I'm waiting on now, since the canopy is fairly well-established.

image33468.jpg


On the far left, see the two tips, one slightly above the other? Let me show you how easy it is to tuck that under.

image33469.jpg


See? After a couple hours it may work free, but her branches are pretty strong, so I'll probably release it manually and play with someone else. When I started I was doing that to many branches at once. Those lower branches caught up within two days. Graytail had mentioned once how quickly they respond, but it still shocked me when I watched it myself.

image33470.jpg


By this point, after three(?) days, there aren't any more, other than the two in the center which I'm still being more aggressive with. As you can see, she's pretty flat.

I gotta say guys, I'm pretty stoked. I'm taking myself out to breakfast. :blunt:
 
That's turning into a little bonsai!
 
A delightful study in texture and line.

White Widow. It doesn't matter how old she is. Look at how beautiful her lines are, how healthy the leaves! I opened up underneath and you can see them down there, sighing with relief already. :laughtwo:

Joy makes me hungry. I'm on my way out of the building NOW!!!
 
And then there was One

I was taking pictures for the updates when this one caught my eye.

image33485.jpg


What caught my eye was the way it'd healed off so nicely. This is Carnival, and look at the structure of that stalk! Wow!

Here's a close up of #2.

image33487.jpg


Which is strikingly different from #3. Whatever's going on with this plant it's obviously made my decision easy.

image33488.jpg


I pulled the failing Afghani. Tent space is limited as it is under my lights. Only so much to go around, and I'm not going to worry about culling this one. Hopefully #2 is a female.

Hello Sue. From your 3 recent pictures.....Afghani #2, cuttings 1st pic, & last picture of plant in black pot all show Mg shortage. Easy to remedy. :Namaste:

This was on my list of concerns for the day. Your recommendation?
 
Well you know how much I like & rely on Langbeinite. That will always take care of it. Liquid CaMg will also do the job, but may not be compatible with your organic requirements.:Namaste:

Hahaha! I have a box of Langneinite right here. Let me do an application right now. I completely forgot I bought it.
 
Sweet Sue are you writing 50 Shades of Green?
