Thanks CHIEF.
I'm afraid I've been treating her mean though, so she doesn't look quite so hot today.
She's been outdoors for over a week while I fill up the case with experimental plants and the overnight temps dropped to 4C a couple of nights ago! I couldn't take her back indoors in case she brought some unwelcome guests in with her so she just had to grin and bear it. Poor little mite.
Combined with the slug damage she is in a sorry state and I think the sharp drop in temps has slowed down the plumping process a little. My tin needs an urgent top up though, so she's getting chopped in 7 or 8 days regardless.



Feels good to post some trich porn again :)

WOW! Glad to see the refill your tin will get!!

Have you thought of "blanketing" the soil about and around her to keep it warmer? You may be able to dig a hole and place her pot in it, then maybe cover that up with something to hold the heat in the pot. Should keep the roots warmer and help with the slow growth. Just some thoughts to get her to Plump up a little more in the next week for ya.

Cheers gum, some good ideas.
I didn't think about the roots but I used my old melted plexiglass and some glass out of the skip to make a mini greenhouse for her now. She should be ok so long as there's no lasting effects from the cold snap.

Sounds good v12. I was reading where folks will take old deep freezers and bury them, leaving a foot or so above ground. They then build a greenhouse to the buried freezer. They stated they could grow, clone, and root seedlings through the freezing months this way cause the colder temps would not get to the roots. The cold roots are what actually slows down the growth, from my reading at least. I am sure she will be happy with your makeshit green house, and I am sure some saran wrap will work great too!

You can't whack some good bud porn can you SICC? :)

Bad news since then though. The weather has been unclement here for a little while and today's inspection revealed signs of bud rot in the main cola :(
I thought I'd get away with putting her outside so I could get to understand the clones, but it looks like a bad call.
I've only ever seen bud rot on badly stored buds before now, never on a living plant. I chopped her there and then and I've cut out the rot in 2 places so hopefully I'll salvage over half the main bud. There was another 4 nice tops and 3 or 4 popcorns that are all fine so all is not lost. I don't have my cam atm so no pics I'm afraid.
It's 54 days from first flower and the breeder notes say 55 days flowering so I'm hopeful it will be fine once it's dry. She only took 7 days to go from 1st flower to having a fully flowering top so she's no more than 8 days short of full maturity and tbh, NL at full maturity can be a bit daunting :)


In other news I got my invitation to reconfirm my account here today. I've just done a cursory check on the email and I'm not going to do it. I'll post my reasoning in the appropriate thread in the support forum in a minute or 2.

Hey fs, the plant was grown in the case but I tried to take advantage of the natural 12/12 conditions so I put her outside for the last week and put some clones in her place.
Looks like it wasn't my best move :(

that is a real pitty, really is. you have shown everyone here how to harvest out of one of the smallest possible containers, yet get maximum yield out of the system, approx a gram a day, or an ounce a month. if you scaled your entire system up as much or more than about any other grower in a large system. Your PC will be a learning tool for many as long as RIU still displays the thread. you will be remembered. peace v12xjs
