Yeah they can usually come back from anything... but if this one does, I reckon it'll be scarred for life! My mate had a similar one. It never dried out, but broke for other reasons. Yes it did reconnect and start growing again but it's so much slower then it's sisters.
Like I said though, I don't mind too much as I only planted these as a cab filler. I'd actually rather not grow these again anyway at this point, I'd rather wait for some F/P and B/B cuttings
I could even go buy some more seeds! LoL
Hey trout, I went to the Dinafem site and tried putting some things in my basket... no freebies were mentioned...
Is there like a code or summin I need to put in?

Cheers man, I was at the actual Dinafem site before. Looks like the deal's off anyway cos I put some stuff in the basket and it only wants to give me one free seed! LoL oh well... don't need any right now anyway
Yeah, I may try and do something with that seedling later. Or I may just leave it to die off to save space and time. I'll decide later...

theres so many i want to try ... just getting a few stashed for a rainy day...
would like to get a t5 unit and keep a mother (or two) .... but thats me getting ahead of myself (its too cold here to do anything other then my 23/1 on the lights) will have to wait until i move, but we're hoping it will be soon after christmas.... if not before, but i doubt that very much, next place will have room for my tent and cabinet operation indoors where i can bask in constant heat and start doing photoperiod and refit the cabinet for keeping a mother and cloning ... i have some sorted ideas for a split level mother/veg cab

Getting a bit fed up with all this waiting. Haze apparently always takes a good 12 weeks to finish *sigh* If I'd have known this before I started....
Shit's looking good though lots of little sneaky nugs all over the shop
Will be updating later after lights on so I'll try and show the sneaky nugs
So far I think there looks to be about an Henry of 'asset' all round, and only half way through I want there to be some mad growth in the next few weeks.

Lots of action this week with some serious growth!
Tons of pistels have appeared and I can no longer keep track of the newest appearances. The plants have pretty much doubled in size since the past week, as have the budlings and the amount of sneaky budlings down the stems.. Little Lady is the contender for first to finish.
I've done another load of trimming this week. It was needed...
The supercropping that occurred to Stumpy as a result of my exhaust fan falling, has strengthened her almost stronger than she was and a ton of new shoots has popped out from close by it. Man she's been through the wars LoL
Little scraggler is now showing signs of pistel growth, they're very thin compared to the other strain.
Stumpy has gone mad too, similarly to Little Lady, but it does appear that she's maybe a week behind or so.
My temps in both cabs are steady between 20 and 30C, which is more than I could have hoped for when I first bought the heated cables.
I think it may be a good idea to buy some scrogging as I can see that they already want to grow another 20 inches within the next month or two. I'm presuming they're 12 week flowerers, in which case there's still roughly two months left
Over all, I'm extremely happy with their performance. Considering...
Colours are lovely and clean throughout with no signs of wilt or browning. Growth is more than acceptable. Which basically means that they're happy and the environment is good to go!
Little Lady and her plentiful nugs and tops;
Little Scraggler, too boring to photograph...;
Stumpy and her sneaky nugs;
The second pic shows where the super cropping happened, just over half way up in the mid of frame.
Forest in my shed;
No real concerns this week. Only that the weather is about to take a turn for the worse, so I just have to keep me eye on that.
Seedlings;
One is clearly ready for the pot with a whole bunch of roots at the base of the root riot. The other though... not so great. What with not knowing it's sex and knowing that it'll take twice as long in flower because of the shock of near death... I think I may ditch it.
I have a question;
Little Lady has some of her pistels turning brown. Only a few though so far. Does this mean it's preparing for maturing?
In which case it would finish a lot earlier than I'm expecting right? I didn't think they turned brown until nearly ready...

the pistels change differently from strain to strain, sometimes not turning fully ginger/brown....they do tend to start white then turn ginger/brown over time ... but these should'nt be taken as a harvest indicator... you should get a microscope/ magnifying glass and check the trichs for a clearer picture ... clear = not ready/ cloudy = head-high/ amber 50-100% body-stone.... or so they say (there are other ways of telling but i don't know them)
this plant is funky mate! .... looks like a garden fork .... shes great!
everything looks smart!... nice looking plants too, heating cable idea is up there with the best of them.... most of the stretch will be over by week 3 of flowering mate... then its just swelling

Well if that 3 weeks thing is true then I think I'm sorted
I wasn't sure about the pistel thing. Just wanted some affirmation...
Aye she looks like a fork LoL funny as! But she is providing me with four healthy tops so it's all good. LST comes good

All in all, a tidy update

But yeah she does look fake haha
I'm looking forward to seeing the difference between the normal branches and the supercropped one.

Seedlings are so so. I've potted them up, taking care with the broken one (that'll probably be its name) and soiled it up to it's neck, so it can stand up.
Having issues with this site today
So I'll have to pop back later with pics

Yeah mate, it's amazing watching them grow a little more each day. They're beautiful things! You should check my cheese thread for the good genetics though
Your ladies seem to be coming along very nicely. New growth is looking fresh, which is a good sign. Keep it up man!
