Beginners luck for sure. I haven't thrown them into flower yet, just showing sex because they are so mature. I have alternating nodes on almost all the plants also. I want to veg them bigger though, once I throw into flower in a few weeks they will be huge and there won't be enough room for all of them if I veg them all to almost 2 ft. But again, ill leave them be until it does become a problem!! Looks like I might be able to get a nicer yield than anticipated with all these ladies and tops :). Got a long way to go till I can start really thinking about that!

Nice updates Loyalty. We both had good luck with the ladies it seems.. both of my big beasts were ladies and I think of the two of my smaller ones one should be and one I'm not sure yet.. I thought 3/4 was going to be amazing odds but 6/6! WOW!

about how big is your room again? You might not want to veg for too much longer if you've got 6 fems.. or start taking a lot of cuttings of one of those and use her as a mother perhaps?

Hey buddy, 3/4 is fantastic too! My cab is 3x3x6! I thought about keeping two for mothers, but I'd have to build a new box to keep them in. I just don't have time for that right now. It's still a possibility though.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! Mr. Ganja LOLOLOL

man title dosent mean anything, neither does reputation. definatly never put your trust in someones advice just because of rep and title. i just subscribe to alot of journals and keep up with them so people hit me with that rep button just to "do me a favor" and title is based solely on how many posts you have. i could have typed out 1,800 posts with bad or wrong information and still be Mr. Ganja.

to be honest your grow is going WAYYYYY!!!!! better than mine. and i would say you have a natural niche for it. i am on the comeback tho so watch out :)

take a shitload of bottom branches as clones, lollipop all of them ladies and use the branches you cut as clones. then flip 12/12 and build a small cab to grow out all them clones. in 8-10 weeks them clones will be nice full bodied plants and you will be harvesting the ones in there now.

or just take 1 clone from each plant that way you can save the genes and when they are all done you can pick the strongest one and keep it as a mother, flower out the rest and start up a small perpetual :)

So many decisions. Ideally I would take a clone from each plant, so I can pick whatever ends up being the best bud to be a mom, and then start a perpetual from there. Maybe ill rig up some cardboard with a bunch of cfls to keep the clones in until harvest is done, then use it as the mom box. I've always wanted entrance into the cardboard box club :)! There may be a move this summer though and I don't know if I can get another harvest in before then. We shall see....but I know ill be pissed if I get a perfect blueberry pheno and have no way to get it again!!!

Quick update:
Some pictures of each girl individually (strain name listed when picture open). My two favorite are the headband and blueberry #3! Also a picture of my filter sock, haha, think it nee ds a wash?! There is a picture of the little bit of yellowing going on on lowest fan leaves. Nutrients will be added next watering, big bloom and grow big at 1/2 strength. One picture shows the canopy height. It ranges between 7-9 inches...fairly even. The mh is about 7 inches from top of canopy. Lots of tops! So excited!

Yeah everything looks good to me also!!!!! Hmmmmm...refrigerated clones!? I just may have to experiment with that! Haha, friend comes over and asks for a drink and I tell him "go ahead and grab a beer! They're next to the clones"!!! Haven't given them any nutrientss yet bro. Not a drop. Was gonna start with 1/2 strength my next watering. I feel they are probably old enough to take a full strength dose? What do you think? Play it safe with half strength, or give em a full dose?

I watered the girls this morning. Used half strength doses of grow big and big bloom! Ended up being 1.5 tsp of grow big and 3 tsp of big bloom. Once I'm off work ill take pictures. Should be able to tell if its too much nutes by the time I'm off. Hopefully they respond well with no burn!! I'm thinking about 2 more weeks vegging....at most :)
