That is going to be a sight to behold when she is 3/4th the way through flowering.

No....I don't show off brother. I been keeping her under wraps as I got her looking how I wanted. I was struggling with a few shoots that I solved last night after a bowl of Hindu Kush with some Black Cherry Punch. Thats what she looked like this morning......very pleased with how she is looking now.
Takes a lot of work to do this to a plant the way I did. All the outside shoots are from all the lower branches. Takes a lot of bending twisting and pulling to get the taller branches to NOT outgrow the lowers and keep the symmetry of the circle. Then of course the plant doesn't do what you want it to do so you have to stay very flexible. Doing a plant this big and this short has been a real test of my growing skills. Really wanted a nice looking canopy when it comes flip time.

Did some up potting on the new strains we started recently. I didn't push any of them further than they wanted in their solo cups. I think I hit the up pot on them right on target. Expecting some big growth explosions from them over the next couple days.
Wish I had been wearing my cheaters when I did the up potting. I wouldn't have up potted the male Master Kush I was keeping around. He is showing very early flowering and thats not something anyone wants in a guy! I will get pics of him tomorrow before I yank him out in 2 days (Just running an experiment to see how much root growth I can expect over 3 days).

I’m in for this stanks. Loving that big veg girl. I love training them hard and seeing how wide you can get them. Pulled one and a quarter pound off of one plant in my 5x5 but wasn’t a known big yield strain. Can’t wait to see what you pull from your genetics.

Lesson time folks.
For those following along from the other journals of ours know I preach vigilance in keeping your grow rooms free of mites. I did battle with the borg a few grows back and learned my lesson the tough way. Since then we have been extremely cautious and strict about pest security (minus the fungus gnats a bit back during the move). Well we learned another valuable lesson that has bitten us in the ass (hopefully only on one butt cheek).
Right around Xmas/New Years, one of our neighbors brought over a poinsettia as a house warming gift. Mistake #1 was letting a plant from a store or nursery into the house. Mistake #2 was not checking it over. Well that plant sat on our dinner table for a month or more before we discovered in was infested with mites.
We threw it away immediately and had a bad feeling that this situation would have us chasing our tail. Well we cleaned the area and did our best to avoid going from that area to anywhere near the girls. Another month went by and we discovered some had spread to the small fig tree we had near the table. We dipped it, sprayed it, and moved it away from that area.
Well today i was checking the girls in the flower tent and sure enough. I spotted a few leaves that looked like they had some funk to them. A quick check under the scope and we got em. Mistake #3....not adhering to Rules # 1 and 2.
Pulled the plant away from all the other plants and pulled about 20 leaves off those two plants and ran them under the scope. Not a single sign was seen so I am hoping for the best. I will check the remaining plants all on a daily basis for a few weeks.
After checking the neighboring plant....we pulled the infested girl out an stuck her under the T5. I am going to throw up the 4x4 and try to finish her in there (I figure two more weeks for sure, probably three). If the temps warm up, I may try to finish her outdoors (I would prefer that). I very well may also end up chopping her down early if it looks like she's badly infested (Ms Stank graciously picked off most of the suspect looking leaves while I cleaned the shit out of the tent) but I hesitate in doing that without confirming all the other plants. Gonna spend a good couple days combing through the plants to make sure she is the only one with an issue.
I hope this is one doesn't kick our asses too much. Lesson learned.....
