Thanks Sticky. On the clones, I guess I am just used to people saying they got theirs to root in X days blah blah blah so I tossed out the first couple attempts before really giving them a proper chance. I know I do not have idea conditions for them, but at least if gives me another couple of plants to poke around with so I leave my flower plant alone :D.

Anyone that grows from seeds know if it is a problem that the one I planted sank straight away instead of floating for a bit? All of my veggie seeds have always floated for at least an hour or two.
Glad you got the clones sorted hb.I don't know what it means if they sink immediately,
but my last batch off beans took about 18 hrs to sink.The order I got yesterday just a few hours. Damn curious myself.

Not sure if I will be able to pull her out for photos again until I get ready for harvest, the tops are getting to heavy for the stems and I nearly lost one when pulling it out..

Ohhh, your buds are too heavy? What shitty luck...lol
I guess I was thinking the stems are too weak :) I should keep the positive attitude. Space is too small to get any real sway in the stems, may need to divert some funds into a bigger space sooner rather than later.

I just got some of those smart pots with handles. Cant wait to use them. Do they hold up well when moving the girls around? All your girls look real nice I must say.

They are handy at first, as they get bushy it is easier just to hold the pot from the bottom. All in all, the handle just usually gets in the way when I am trying to water, I probably would opt out of the handles if presented the option.

using bamboo stakes you can wrap that around your plant at whatever height needed so your branches take on less weight. :)

Good luck with everything. I'll be watching. :)

Next time I will look for them. Right now I am using the 8" vigoro wire ties, I just keep them loose, but they tend to fall off.

Walmart or similar stores carry a roll of the plant tape for like $5. won't hurt to check if you happen to be at a store with a garden section. :)

Almost shocking to see how much useful gardening tools Wally world or similar stores carry. especially for the type of gardening we do. lol

IMG_0649[1].jpgIMG_0648[1].jpgIMG_0643[1].jpgHey hbbum! just wanted to stop by and show you my girl again. I think she's growing fast now which is GOOD! I put some good dry straw down on top of my soil and also some extra dry worm castings to mix into the top soil aswell. Let me know what you think man =). Oh ya and it may look a little droopy but its totally just because I was bending out the bottom tops to give the plant more light.

Made some brownies with my cannabutter. Used about a cup of butter which includes about 1/4oz of buds. Also took some 90% cocoa and melted it in a double boiler with about a half a stick of cannabutter, spread that on top and put it in the freezer to harden.

Taste is awesome, the dark chocolate on the milk chocolate brownie is so rich. Posting this before it kicks in so I think I will be done soon :D
