Sorry I just joined in on the conversation. I actually started some around the same time. Try maybe putting them on 24 light and see what happens. If they are auto flowering they will develop buds anyways.

Gave them another watering today. Can't believe how much growth there has been the past few days! They're over 4" tall now! Tiana's leaves are getting large and spreading out while Ariel's are staying smaller and close in. Can't wait to see the difference in buds on both these girls! :)

haha it feels nice to KNOW doesent it :)
Hell ya it does!! Now I'm half tempted to do a tiny bit of LST to the smaller of the two plants (Ariel). Tiana is growing too perfectly symmetrical for me to fuck with, but Ariel isn't the "straightest" arrow so I wouldn't feel bad about bending her over some (no pun intended ;) )

lol funny shit. lst it up
I probably will start tonight. I'll be switching over to 12/12 in less than 15 days so I'm not sure how much of a difference it will make on yield. It would just be nice to experiment with it and to get some nice main colas :)

that is plenty of time if u ask me. 2 weeks+ of lst. i would continue to lst lthe 1st 3 or 4 days into flowering. some of the stretch will be reduced but only because ur training. u should yield a lil more with lst. more light going to places it couldn't if it wasnt 4 u lst'n it. those lil popcorn nugs will be a lil bit bigger and it all adds up

so ur not going to lst it?
Nope, gonna be patient and wait for next winters grow. Traffic at my house is too high in the summer to grow anything so I can only do one grow a year.
you going to setup a veg area and try your hand at cloning? least you can keep a KNOWN female
Like I said just right above here, I can only grow at certain times in the year so I won't be taking any clones (although I'd LOVE to now that I know they're female!). Next winters grow I'll either be doing a scrog or an lst, just growing a single plant. Can't wait :)


Stay tuned for the 5 week picture update later today!!! You won't believe their size now!! ;)

ic cool. im sure a quick lst job wouldnt hassle you in anyway but your callin the shots
LSTing will not prolong your grow, cloning will. all the LST is going to do is trick the plant into thinking all the side branching are tops and give you more colas :)

Most exciting update yet! We're about a week from flipping to 12/12 now as both girls are 4.5" tall :)

Hers a pic of the new fan blowing fresh air onto my girls 24/7.


Ariel is the smaller of the two plants that I was previously planning to LST.





Tiana is my favorite plants as she is spreading out perfectly, has larger leaves and branches, and is also starting to form a reddish color on some of her stems.






Temps steady I the lower 80's and still not using any nutes. This time next week, if they reach 6" by then, I will be flipping them to start flowering. :)
