Since I'm here, how about a little update.
When I was feeding the GM clone last night I realized that I hadn't done a defoil on her and she's on Flip + 59! Her mom did not do well with inadequate circulation and I'm risking the same fate for her.
So today I thinned her out a bit. I guess better late than never.
Being so late doing this meant I had to take off a few fairly established buds.
It was not easy for me to do. But I reasoned that if I had done what I should have done, like, 30 or so days ago, they would not even exist today. So snip, snip. They would have developed into usable bud but I want the energy going to the stuff up top!
Thanks for looking in.
PEACE.
That's some sizeable larf, but better late than never I guess!

Gush Mints clone is bound to be better than its mom at harvest time 
Good choice! Make way for air circ!

Good to see you thinning out a little ! Teaser buds 
Nice defol, GDB! - it makes those fat buds look even fatter...
I should of done the same thing, but I also didn't...now I figure they've made it this far, might as well just leave them on there..I'll definitely regret that decision in trim jail..sooo many little branches...

Hello growers.
I've got so few plants left that I can provide a quick update on them all!
First up the mother and daughter duo in the 4x4 tent.
Crescendo (Flip 84) -- she's really pretty in person but I have a difficult time capturing that beauty in a pic.
I've been scoping her on the regular to make sure she doesn't sneak up on me.
-------------------------
And here is her daughter, the Crescendo clone on Flip + 15. With her, I'm trying for a "mini-Crescendo" (hence the 2 gallon pot).
-------------------------
The Gush Mints clone in the 2x2 on her day Flip + 62. A few weeks ago she started looking -- for lack of a better word -- "unhappy." I don't know how to describe it, but one knows from seeing a plant on the daily when things are not quite right. At the time she was only 9 inches beneath the @ViparSpectra XS1500 Pro which was running at 100%. I think the light was a bit much for her so I turned it down to 75%. She's been looking a lot happier since.
------------------------
Finally, I got around to doing my first smash of the Reeze McFlurry that I bagged up on May 6th, and she really gave up the goods. I'll be back with more pics on this later.
That's it for me today.
As always, thanks for taking a peek into my tents.
PEACE.

All the plants are looking great GDB but the Crescendo is to die for in my opinion.
She's pretty!
She's pretty!
I think you did a pretty good job- she's a beauty from any angle!
The GM definitely looks happy now!
I did the same with the ATF- she wasn't looking happy at 220 watts, but she's liking 190...
You're a good influence! I have to do that when I come in from power washing the shed! I better squish now before I lose my get up and go!Hello growers.

If the Crescendo mom keeps pushing out those foxtails it's gonna be hard to know when to break out the WaPo! Is the last trichome pic with more amber from an original calyx? Because that looks done.
Nice catch on the GM, and excellent squish!

Just stay under 1000psi for the sensitive areas and I'll come out clean as a whistle!

Hello all.
Yesterday I fully intended to post more about smashing the Reeze McFlurry but I ran into a little hiccup. Since I so appreciated my first smash of her I decided to try smoking some of it. Well, that turned out to be the end of my productive activities for the day. There's a smoke report HERE.
So this morning I'm looking at the Crescendo clone on her Flip + 16. As you may know, with this plant I'm trying to grow a "mini Crescendo," which is why I put her in a 2 gallon pot.
But I've been looking at the solo cup grows that @Cola Monster is currently doing and I now know that a 2 gallon pot is nowhere near restrictive enough to keep this plant down. And I suspect that the only thing truly "mini" about this grow will be the pot.
So I put her on a weight-training plan this morning. I've affixed plant anchors to 6 of her branches in order to pull them down and hold them down.
Since I have so much space in the tent now there's enough room for me to splay her.
Tent pic (Flip + 85 for the big Crescendo):
The weights will be adjusted over time as required and I'm sure a few of them will need to be made heavier by tying 2 anchors together. We shall see.
Thanks for looking in.
PEACE.

Oops. I forgot my manners! 
Thanks Mr. Monster. I wish everyone could see her in person because she really is a looker and I'm a lousy photog!All the plants are looking great GDB but the Crescendo is to die for in my opinion.
Thanks Carcass. Appreciated!
I guess there's a learning curve with any new gear, and these @ViparSpectra lights are "different."
Have yourself a smashing good time Stone!
When I saw that pic I tried to figure out what section of the bud I had clicked on but I could not. I'm going to look at a different flower today.
GDB I fell in love with the Crescendo when we first realized that she was mad. She has such pretty flowers! Her other self is going to be a stunner particularly now that you know what you're in for. I am watching with bated breath!
I knew that Crescendo clone was going to take over the tent!

Thanks so much Carmen.
It indeed does help to know what's coming, and I will definitely try to improve my methods on clone!
Now breathe!

LMAO! She hasn't taken over anything yet Shed!
I guess whether she ever does or not depends on your definition of "taking over."
I'm going with "no room for another plant of the same size after stretch and flowers."
