I was just down to have a look at the girls, and I took a few photos.
These are the Chosen Mango, (@Frimpong) they are starting to come into their own. They have all been topped, but at different times.
I just put on the new LST clips for the first time.

These are the Pink Lotus, (@Willie), These were sent to the flower tent to show sex and then back to the veg tent.
I left one of them totally natural, and I have topped and LST'd the other. I thought it was interesting how much difference it has made.

And this is the White Widow, (At day 40 from flip), she's starting to bulk up.
I'm looking forward to seeing what she will look like in 2-3 more weeks.

That White Widow is something to behold...Do you open the tent slowly in case she's at the door ready to bite you? Looks like the tent monster from the green swamp...:ROFLMAO:
LOL. Thanks Buck. I agree she is a beast.
I have a limited plant count of five, so it seems I tend to grow them out big.
I tell myself that if I didn't veg so long, I could run though more beans, but so far it hasn't seemed to work out that way. ;)
I have a lot more flower than I can use, so I am never in a hurry to flower something out, and next thing I know there is a monster in the tent.
I have had worse problems in life though...:ROFLMAO:
Cheers,
WillieP

Hey Gang,
Hope all is going well with your grows.
I just got back from vacation, and my plant sitter did a wonderful job of keeping the girls healthy and happy.
Really pleased with how things are looking for the White Widow and the Chosen Mangos. The Pink Lotus is starting to come back from being in the flower tent, but it sure has been a slow process. The plant is healthy, she just hasn't made her mind up yet on wanting to continue to Veg. As this is the first time, I have tried this, I don't know if this is normal, and I am just being impatient. I culled one of the Pink Lotus, (plant count), and will eventually cull one of the Chosen Mangos as well. Only one plant of each strain will be sent to flower and harvested.
Today I will start an Auto flowering seed, which will be a first for me. I'm pretty excited to see what this is all about. This will be a Gelato Auto strain. (@BigPretzel)
I will also drop some of @Frimpong's Blackberry Bread, more than just one, as these are Reg seeds. I have seen some gorgeous pictures of this stain, and I can only hope to do half as well with them.

One other topic while I'm here.
One of the branches on my Pink Lotus (and just one) has variegated leaf colors on it.
I don't have any plans to, but if one would clone that particular branch, would you get a plant that had the color variegations throughout the entire plant??
My uneducated guess is, YES.
I thought I would ask those of you with more knowledge than I.

Everything is looking killer Willie!

On the note of the variegation, the genetic makeup of the clone would be identical to the mother plant, which isn't any different for the specific branch, so I'm fairly certain that the resulting plant would have some variegated branches and some normal ones just like the donor plant.

Thanks for the kind words GC.
What you say makes sense to me. The genetic makeup would be the same in every branch of the mother or the clone.
So that got the wheels a turning...
If you chose to, I assume that you could actually attempt to breed for that particular trait, just like any other trait.
Mom with variegation, Dad with variegation, pheno hunt the seeds, etc., etc., ext...
I don't really see a practical reason to do so, (which is why I'm guessing it hasn't been done), but I personally think it would be really killer to have an entire plant with variegated leaves.
I've heard of strains with 'duck foot leaves', I wonder if that was a natural thing, or if it was intentionally breed for??
Just me thinking out loud.

Yeah, your exactly right. You could breed for variegation if you wanted too, it just not something that appeals to the cannabis world. But that's how we wound up with variegated pothos and monsteras etc. In the natural world the variegation was uncommon but it was considered a desirable trait for house plants so it was systematically selected for over multiple generations until the offspring would routinely show that trait.

Might be kinda neat having variegated buds, lol, as long as it didn't affect potentcy, and or other negative effects to the plant.

Thank you Gentlemen for the insight on the variegation topic. Much appreciated.

Everything in the Veg tent is the same-same. The two little Chosen Mango look amazing, and the Pink Lotus just doesn't want to come back out of flower mode.
This was my first attempt at putting a plant into 12/12 for the purpose of sexing, and I have to say that I do not think I am a fan. It just seems to take way too long to switch back to veg, and it is throwing off those weird re-veg type leaves and all. I know it is just a matter of time, and patience, but I'm not digging it. I just read about taking clones and putting them in 12/12 for the purpose of sexing, and that may be my method on the next attempt.

Anywho...
The flower tent is really stinky, I think I need to change the carbon in my filter.
The White Widow is starting to fade hard. Still getting frostier, I think.
I will look at it with a scope today.

Pics taken yesterday, day 57.
