Thanks con. DIY rules!
Thanks Bode.
Yeah Carcass, it looks nice.It's pretty stuff, that's for sure!
I couldn't trim weed that close if I tried...
But, until I grow some weed that's so ugly it won't get me high, I'm going with the "looks don't matter" thing...
The only thing that affected my serenity Shed is the thought of you driving in that impending dangerous weather. Glad you got that done without incident.
Thanks GDB. Much as up-and-back in 2 days isn't easy I'm glad we got back when we did.
No idea, but it's so compact it almost looks like the makings of a cob!
Beautiful ladies！Good morning grow gang!
The height competition between the Slur and the FF is officially over. The FF has been declared the winner!
Why?
Last night I decided to try and level out the canopies on the FF (and the GPxBB). In doing so, I reduced the height of the FF back down to where the Slur now stands. So, game over. It's no longer a fair comparison.
Both the FF and the GPxBB where put on weight training, which simply means I attached a weighted object to select branches to pull them down. I didn't bother the Slur because I like her the way she is.
I use plant anchors for weights. I'll either use them as a single or a double based on the strength of the branch I need to pull down.
Here's a before pic showing the branches that I targeted for the weights. The goal was to pull those branches down even with the stuff that's growing out of the middles.
After they were applied, the FF was back down to the level of the Slur (although it's hard to tell from this pic). I also put one of those plant bendy things on a single branch that had shot above the others in the middle of the FF. The Slur is now front left.
That was around 10:30 last night. By 10 this morning they had already started to rise again, but the canopies were a "little" more level.
If all goes as planned I will let these go from here, with only some defoliation and minor weight adjustments awaiting them down the road.

As always, nice to have you stop by.
PEACE.
What a mass of green!! They look very happy. Very nice job!Hello all.
Here's today's pic of my cheerleading squad forming. Get your pom poms girls!
Grandaddy Purple x Bruce Banner:
Forbidden Fruit:
The FF is bringing up the rear as far as pom pom production, but that might be a good thing!
Thanks for stopping by.
PEACE.
The flowers are like many little suns.Good day group!
Around midnight I had all the girls out to be watered to run-off and I took the opportunity to get some solo pics.
They're on their Flip + 16.
First up is my shorty, the Grandaddy Purple x Bruce Banner. She was but 8 inches tall when I flipped her and she's now 16 inches in height.
-----------------------------
Next the Slurricane. She shot up early in life but then didn't do much stretching after being flipped. She was 11 inches tall when flipped and is 18 inches in height now.
-----------------------------
And last is the Forbidden Fruit. She is the stretchy one. She was 9 inches when I flipped her and she now stands at 25 inches. Also, I think this one continues to stretch! She has yet to produce any pom poms.
----------------------------------
All back in the tent:
--------------------------------
In the 2x2, the Phase II girls are on their day 14. I recently increased the @ViparSpectra XS1500 Pro from 25 to 50 percent and they seem to love it!
I often say my plants get off to slow starts but much of the reason for this, I believe, is on me. I'm too wimpy with my babies in the beginning. I'm always concerned about giving them too much water too soon and too much light too soon. I think I hold them back. Their response to the increased lighting was nearly immediate!
----------------------------
Thanks Bode! Always a pleasure to have you stop by. And I like candy too!
-----------------------------
Last, I've been reading on @Krissi Carbone's thread about the horrors of some caterpillars "attacks." These tales have been amusing but I wouldn't say they were horrific.
This recounting of an August 9th wildlife incident was truly HORRIFIC!
----------------------------
As always, thanks for your visit.
PEACE.
I saw some nugs on Saturday looked and felt amazing, best I've seen here. The smoke at a tested 28% was OK, didn't feel like 30% stronger than usual. But yeah definitely vacuum packed, on closer inspection the tiniest leaves were just squished into itself. Felt better after that!
but i agree with everyone’s sentiment, there is nothing like jars of buds i grew. Plus, i love handing out samples to people who visit us, its like my old italian relatives who would always send you home with tomatoes cause they grew so many Lol.
True 'dat Mello!Yeah they did s t r e c h e !
Yeah 70s! Our weed rocks and we roll!I probably will buy weed at a dispensary again, usually when im in Canada
That bud looks nice, i bet the high is nice, but our weed rocks !!!!!
I don't think it's a coincidence. I think if these lights had been turned up sooner it would have happened sooner.You get 2 inches and you get 2 inches...
I think it's on me for leaving the lights turned down for too long. I was waiting on the FF to show pistils before turning them up to full power. Live and learn.
Interesting. I don't know the power of the lights you're using, but I can tell you that my second Gelato plant has lived under the full strength of my XS1500 Pros since it was a seedling, because it was getting the same light the other two were getting. It is the healthiest plant of the three.
