Girls are looking good, I can see some big girls come the switch.

Aha @912GreenSkell .. you made it through the snow..!
Nice to see your friendly avatar again.

I haven't managed to get through a whole movie in one go on that hashish yet ... I have to finish it off after breakfast..! The movie I mean.
I only got 20 minutes-in last night .. ... gonner.

Feckin' Russian shot-putters at this rate dude ... these are one tough bunch of ladies.
Transplant shock. Nicht, nada, niet.
Chop their heads off shock. Nope, nought, nothin'.

Just a tickle..! Hmmm.
I'm getting the whip and boots out next, they'll soon see who's mistress around here.
Er, oops, I meant master. Slip of the tongue.

Ok, I'm now thinking along another line.

Too little too soon. And maybe, therefore, I'm not giving her the right signals.
Rethinking this .. I want a hormone shift, and that didn't do it.

Watch this space, I'll get back to you ...

Update time peeps.

It's getting a bit bushy in there now ...

The first two I attempted to FIM looked so deformed, I just had chop their heads off ... I felt like Henry VIIIth for a moment.

They took it on the chin tho' ... lovely masochists..!!

Decided to FIM number 3 ... if at first you don't succeed, blame someone else, then try again..!

I'm counting down the hours now until I can fire-up 'the furnace' ... my main grow chamber.
The whole point of this grow is to test the system, mid-winter, and hopefully spot the 'chinks' in the theory, and correct them before they correct me. Legally speaking.

I want to get four plants in the chamber to flower, with another four held back in reserve.
Those remaining four, if I'm brave enough, will get mainlined. (The term refers to an extreme form of plant training, perfected by a very clever chap .. http://www.growweedeasy.com/mainlining-nugbuckets)
I've got seven weeks to play with them, so why not?

Now, I know these aren't 'autos' .. and I'm also aware that these are techniques not usually compliant with 'auto' growing.
Maybe one day in the future? ... it's still the same much-loved plant.
We've made amazing strides in the last 20 years ... I'm really looking forward to the next 20 ....!!!!

I'm having a bit of a problem with my water experiment though.
I'm out of rainwater, due to the fact it isn't fucking raining, for a change.
Silly me, that usually only happens in the summer, doh!

Have you checked out the mainline thread by @budelee ? He does autos

Oh, great looking plants too!

Whats going on guys?? Yes autos are strong enough to take the mainline training ,its a cool technique that ive documented to show how vertical growing space limitations can be overcome..Ive also topped,fimmed,scrogged,circle trained,supercropped and bent stems/plants into many directions just to show that they are capable of the various training techniques..im still waiting for someone else to add another mainline plant to my thread,since my "Medusa" mainlined plant is the only documented ML on the site!! Your welcome to piggyback off it if you like..its in my sig area...peace!! Thanks for the mention @Dudeski

OOOhhh ... @budelee ... thanks dude.
Confidence is everything.
If you can do it, I can do it ...

I'm just aware of the 'recovery' time needed with extreme pruning ... I guess like everything in life, timing's the key.

Well, I like to fuck around, so maybe I'm you're man..!
Let me get jiggy with my growroom first, then we can share tricks. I have one or two up my sleeve just yet ... I don't enter a poker game without my game-face on!

Grateful Bud

Ps. That's not 'Grateful Dead Bud' ... just yet!

I have topped and super-cropped autos before .. but mainlining's some serious shit.
Hats-off to you sir .. @budelee

Consider me your padawan ...
