Group A, I see bud! Although its been there for a while, it's finally more apparent. They are still tiny little popcorns, but at least they are there.

Group B.... that one is still looking like crap. I attribute it to a bad seed, and Nirvana has helped me out with that. The bad seedling has gotten bigger, but is still shrivled up and looking like crap.

The clone.... hasn't grown much.

So.... some potential bad news. I think one of these bitches is going hermie...... Although I'm not 100% sure yet. But I think I see some sacs developing, if they have they are still tiny. I am hoping some hairs bust out or something.

I noticed today, as the main colas off the main branch was starting to get close to the HPS, so I was in the process of tying them down again. And the stems were super thick so I did what probably amounted to 'super-cropping' today. Not purposefully, but it took some nice tugging to get them down.

On a good note, with the nutes ive been giving them, the buds are developing nicely, and seem to be progressing everytime I check on them (100x/day) :)

You can see the before and after pics, along with the suspected plant that might be going hermie.

Bud sites are starting to go crazy!

Here is a general shot of the cab and a bit of bud porn with some random bud sites thrown on it.

Coming along nicely man!
Yes sir. It must have been those nutes I gave them 2 days ago. I went from the 1/3 strength to 1/2 strength. Of course the recent blooming could just be a coincidence of course :)

But the bud sites have been filling in steadily over the past few days.

Looot of updates here!!!

Group A:
So, when I planted these two seedlings, one of them grew fine, but its leaves looked a bit nuked. The other one was really hit hard and barely grew at all. The leaves were dark green and spotted and was about a third the size of the other one.

So recently they started to sprout greener leaves. When I saw that, it looked like even the shrivled up mutant seedling might make it. I switched my soil from that Moisture Control to the Wild Ocrhid soil. I had the most success with the Organic Soil so far, so I just wanted to try this one out too. It's a process to find what works for me I suppose......

So for the smaller seedling, I topped it. Since doing that, two new growths have sprouted from the side. I'm thinking I might try to top this particular seedling a few times and seeing what develops if it continues to grow. See the pic of that here.

Now for the normal seedling, you can see the browned leaves, but you can also see the newer, greener growth above it. Hopefully the different soil will help. But I started the LST today. Along with LST'ng, I am TWISTING the growth above each node. I'm doing this in hopes that it will make laying the main stems down easier, and allowing the nodes to be parallel to the ground, so the colas will have an easy shot at the light. You can see this in the picture from the top view easily.

Group B:
Nothing much to report here. Things are going well. I wanna see the bud growth pick up of course! some of the secondary colas are tall now, and I wonder if they will stop themselves once they get close to the light? Or if I have to tie them down?

Just a minor update and small potential problem. One of my plants has very droopy leaves. The leaves are still very green and healthy looking. They are just droopy. The other plant is just fine.

I'm pretty sure it's because she is either just simply thirsty, or she has gotten root bound.

I gave her a healthy dose of water this am after the lights turned on, and I'm going out of town for 3-4 days. If the leaves don't pick up by the time I return, I will repot in a slightly larger pot.

Just a little update.

When I got back the girls seemed hella stressed and in serious need of water.

I gave them water, and the one plant I was worried about has picked it's leaves back up and is looking good again.

I moved my current plant from the vegging chamber to the main box now. She spent 27 days in veg. That last batch of soil I used was shit.

My other plant currently vegging, was starting to turn around, but this time away w/o water seems to have stressed her out quite a bit.

I'm going to start my last NL today. I plan on topping that one twice and just doing a straight up grow.

I will also be ordering my next batch of beens, and I am going to go with 'Jock Horror.'

yeah dude they look like they need some food and water, what are your temps like? What strain?
That female is looking good though, what kind of light is that hangin up?
Thanks for stopping by!

Yeah, they were definitely stressed when I got back. I was gone for 4 days, so they only had the water they had when I left. When I got back, the one plant you were referring to was in really bad shape. It was kinda moist, and some of the buds where hanging down.

My temps are usually between 75-85 inside. My case doesn't get the best air intake I don't think, so my case with lights on sometimes gets a bit humid inside, so I usually keep the door cracked which keeps things perfect inside. But while I was gone, the door was closed, so I think it was a bit rough inside for them.

The lights.... At the very top hangs that 150w HPS. The other lights are just 23w 2700K CFLs I've got scattered about for side lighting.

Glad to see things coming along still man! Watch that humidity though as the buds get denser they'll get prone to mold issues if it's too high.

Just some random pics as the lights were going out. Try not to laugh at all the leaves I burned with my CFLs.

So That mutant seedling I had is doing much better, and it has been vegging for 31 days. I feel like it's been too long, but I just haven't had the space in the main chamber. It looks like I might have another 2-3 weeks on my big two plants.

So..... my mutant plant, that has been vegging for 31 days, it has been topped twice, so I started tying down some of the stems. So you can see the topping and LST, and how crowded it's getting in there now :)
