Little Lifesaver Bush

Just stopping in to show you guys some pics of a lifesaver girl I just harvested. She was started in mid march (WAY too early!), has been in 5 different pots, and has been trimmed and pruned countless times to keep her low profile. Had to keep her LOW because I grow on my balcony and my neighbours deck is about 20 feet away from mine soooo...

She's only about 24" tall from the base of the stalk, but about 50" wide. Nothing groundbreaking I know, but it just goes to show that it's possible to grow a decent plant when there are limiting factors, like only 2 ft of vertical growing space.

Here she is just starting to flower.

Plant fell down a STEEP hill behind my house tumbling and smashing a good 25ft(long story LOL). The stalk split in a couple of places, and a few buds got broken off, but here she is after 2 days in the shade and a bit of wire/tape to hold her up. It's impossible for me to fully explain the trauma this plant went through, so I wont event try.

Some pics taken just before harvest, on Oct 7:

I'm hoping to get at least a QP, though I think I may get a bit more.
Just for fun here are a couple shots of 2 unknown clones I flowered out in 4L pots. These were harvested on the 20'th of september.

Clones:

The soil was 50% promix HP, 25% EWC, and 25% perlite with a dash of guano and lime. Plants were fed with Hydro Fuel 2 part synthetic-organic nute, Pure blend Original, Sweet, Liquid K and guano teas. :smile:

Nice plant! How was the purple pheno? I had the same results, one that was more purple, and one that had more trichomes. Awesome! K+

Thanks guys.

RIP: They're both great! Smoking some as I type as a matter of fact. Pretty smooth and very tasty considering how "unaged" it is.

a.k.a_Herb: You think it's a sativa dom? I've grown out i think 4 or 6 other LS girls and none produced buds as thick and dense as this one.

Trimming this stuff was a breeze. The buds are so dense and "uniform" you can kinda zone out while trimming (not hard after 12 hours LOL) and not risk accidentally chopping pieces of the bud off.

But now that you mention it, the leaves on this one looked more sativa dominant than the others; during early veg this one was showing 9 and 13 bladed leaves. :chin:

Budshot of another sat. dom. LS pheno:

Finally got around to weighing all this stuff up. Final yield came in at a little over 8 and 1/4 ounces. I always under estimate...:smoker:

Not bad for a 2 ft'er if I do say so myself. :chin: Here's a jar shot:
