Here Come the Girls - a First Timer's Adventure

[Lady Helena]

Day 28 - 14/05

So, it's day 28 and the Girls are going great-guns. Have responded so well to the LST (and accidental super-cropping).

Even Shirley, still looking good despite her injuries, no sign of dying-off and her top has turned up again. Awesome.



Shirley, despite almost total decapitation, growing strong @ day 28



Pearl @ day 28



Grace @ day 28



The Girls @ day 28​

4 weeks old (day 29) - proper little ladies.

My, don't they grow-up fast. I could just just sit and watch them all day long. Nature is magic.


Shirley @ 4 weeks old - no obvious signs of her (almost) decapitation


Grace @ 4 weeks old


Pearl @ 4 weeks old


The Girls @ 4 weeks old.

What d'ya think?

 

[Lady Helena]

Right, that's your lot, I'm up to date in terms of photos anyway.
Today is day 31.
They look great so may take pics later.
The LST and defoliation have worked incredibly well - I can't stop pinching fans off, within hours you see the little shoots they were shading taking off. Have so many little bud-sites now (approx. 9 to 11 per plant).
OK I will stop clogging the feed now. All comments welcome, especially feedback on whether they look good for their age etc.
Thanks.
Lady Hels

look nice, healthy and green

good work with the LST, need to keep em small and bushy indoor`s as any artificial light cant compete to the Sun`s penetration

when do you plan on flowering ? how much space do you have and what light ? (sorry might miss it on one of the pages, so much to read ) Im thinking hugh stavia strain indoor under fluorescent, don't let em go for to long unless you continue the LST or maybe scrog em

my small scrog



the chicken wire screen act a little like LSTing by keeping them from growing to much vertical or atleast let me decide how much, but best thing is that it let me keep all my Bud site`s just under the light at the right distance so they all get good strong light

Your little girls look great, they're obviously enjoying their classical music, your doing a good job and i like the love you have for them

 

[Lady Helena]

Thanks ILikePotAlot, they really do enjoy the classical music. I think their fav so far is Bach's Brandenburg Concertos. They seem to grow more on the days they have music vs the days they don't.

Make them a mix of fast paced indian music and see what happens

Thanks for the feedback Slipon.

So, I reckon I will see what they look like at 5 weeks and then possibly switch them over. Like you said I don't want a full-on jungle in my bedroom. However the LST has kept them nice and short and v. bushy. Hardly any space between the nodes (listen to me, I actually sound like I know what I'm talking about, hehe).

Like your scog. Have thought about it, but think it might be easier for me to keep them moveable this first time round. Next time I will set up a proper space and be much more professional about it all. My lights are literally hanging off an old clothes rail in the corner of my bedroom with some white cardboard around the plants - v. low-tech.

I have got some Classical Indian Sitar music for them, just haven't played it yet. Maybe I'll give them a bit of Ravi Shankar today and see what happens!

That reminds me, I have a CD that is just Oms...will try that out for a day soon. Good vibrations, original sound of creation and all that...

Om shanti, over and out.

NinjaBowler, I have been reading your name as NinjaBLOWER...so sorry. Am now cracking myself up. I did think it was an 'unusual' name to say the least. But hey, each to their own.

 

[Lady Helena]

Do. Not. Puff. Before. Watering.

I think I just watered with hot water...

and when I say 'I think'...I mean I did just water with hot water.

WTF?

 

[Lady Helena]

[ILikePotAlot]

Coming along nicely, good job.
