this is me first attempt, so i think its not going badly, i'm trying a few radical techniques with this one plant, as there are many just like it growing the safest possible route.

What do you all think will come of this? :)














The last shot is tonight, after i pruned the bottom 4 nodes. the first 3 shots are from 3 days ago, three days after i bent the stalk. Unfortunately i didn't have any pics of before or the day-of stalk bending, the plant has grown TREMENDOUSLY since the bend, however. 4 additional nodes in 3 days!! and they are spaced at less than an inch apart for the time being. Also now starting to develop internode growth.

I can't wait to see how this plant turns out :)



On a side note, the lower leaves i removed today seemed to have a phosphorus defficiency, caused (i think) by my medium, which is crappily an extremely high percentage of some sort of woodchips or bark or something?? this plant would be monstrous if i had the right soil for it, i believe. (the reason i think it is a phosphorus defficiency is because i've heard that high acidity causes this most often, and **DUH** wood chips in composting are *very* highly acidic.) but, alas, this is what i started the seed in, and its what im finishing this grow in... if for nothing more than to see what happens. the clone i took from the healthiest looking lower branch is going to see pre-fert organic soil, and the same training techniques this one saw.


does anyone have a clue what the spots on the lowest leaves of the last picture are? I'm thinking pests and have taken measures tonight to rid my box of these little demons. So far i'm not doing anything directly to the plant as far as pest killers go, however. But I am using a copper wire coiled around the stalk of the plant as i've heard this can help deter crawling insects.


Wellll, any thoughts would be most appreciated, For now i'm going to drink some more, and stare alot at the plant again :)


Peaceness to jontsville, and may ye all be subject to the wonder of the ch0ch!

yeah maybe radical isnt the best terminology.. to me it is though since i've bent this girl and cut her bottom growth off, and basically squeezed her into a tiny little fluoro box, growing in what seems to be a mostly wood-chip type medium..

the other plants are growing in organic mediums and havent been messed with, as well as their nute mixes being different, due to the fact that they are getting filtered, PH balanced water with carefully adjusted nute mixes... This plant has been through hell comparatively. the water is hard, and has a ph of around 7.5 from the tap, and has had nutes regimented by anywhere between 5-7 drops per 20 ounces, to 50 drops on the soil and plain water for 2 days.

the interesting part, after all the hell i've put this plant through, she has one of the dankest single smells and is the ONLY single plant with purple stems, the rest are green as green can be.

this brings a side question to mind, is it possible that purple stems (not leaves) aren't good afterall and are indeed a sign of stress to the plant?

*edit* hahahah growing IS the best! and HOLY HELL i hope i get some buds like yours, Nice work! :D
