DAY 17 - [morning of]:

Temperatures: ... Under HPS ~29 ℃ ... Ambient Room 26 ℃
Humidity RH%: ... 35 [+/- 5%]
Lighting: ... 2 x 600w HPS ... 25" from plants
Schedule: ... 20/4
Feeding: ... no feeding today

Not convinced of the hair tie bondage.
I know others have had amazing success with it.
The theory is 100% logical - I 'get' it.
However, I'm not entirely comfortable with the recovery period of those leaves that have been bound to allow light to the lower parts of the plant. Right now, some 18 hours after being untied, the upper leaves are in a condition where they could probably be bound again, but they don't look their usual selves - it took a few hours for them to recover, and I'm not sure I want to risk the development of the top leaves, to benefit the lower leaves.

My thoughts are that there are other alternatives - like @Hazy and his cane training - that achieve the same enhanced lower plant development, without diminishing or retarding growth elsewhere.

So, as it stands this morning, my mind is moving strongly in favour of more traditional LST than the hair tie method.

I know, I know, I only tried it ONCE ... but, hey - at least I considered it and tried it, and maybe if I gave it more time, I'd learn to love it ... but life has taught me to never second guess my 'gut', and at this moment, my gut is telling me to go in another direction as far as my BDSM adventures are concerned.

The Cream Caramels have been a real joy to watch.
CC3 - The Big Girl - is the hefty lady in the pack.
She's still the Big Mama Jama in the tent.

Unfortunately I've only got one Cream Mandarine on campus, but it's looking nice, and has been no trouble.

Hope I can do these Sweet Seeds some justice!

DAY 18 - [morning of]:

Temperatures: ... Under HPS ~29 ℃ ... Ambient Room 26 ℃
Humidity RH%: ... 40 [+/- 5%]
Lighting: ... 2 x 600w HPS ... 25" from plants
Schedule: ... 20/4
Nutrients: ... B-52, Carboload, Mr Roots, Voodoo Juice, Sensi Grow A + B ... all 1ml/l
Nutrients for CC2: ... B-52, Mr Roots, Voodoo Juice, Carboload, Sensi Grow A + B ... all 0.5ml/l

Feeding: ... ~600ml

Continued with the individual diet for Caramel Cream 2, at 1/2 nutes. This seems to be working well for her. The original leaves are still burnt - of course - but the burn has not spread so I'm fairly confi Will continue to monitor closely.

Devil Cream 1 and 3 were moved to their new Sorority Room this morning. I expect it will take a little time for them to adjust, and I am sure there will be some stress associated with the move to a bigger room - there always is - but I am also confident they will eventually get to love their new accommodation and the extra space it allows them to express themselves and spread themselves out.

The girls in Kappa Mu will be housed in their brand new upgraded Sorority rooms over the weekend.

It means a trip to the nearest Grow Shop tomorrow to pick up some more Plagron Lightmix, so while I'm there I'm going to also make a precautionary purchase of my "go to" First Aid Kit ... Advanced Nutrients Revive ... this was a Godsend when growing photoperiod strains outdoors. Any sign of stress, deficiencies or problems ... ANs Revive brought them right back to health within 24/48 hours. I don't know if the ladies will have problems with their transplanting into the 30L Airpots, but if they do, I'll be prepared with the emergency First Aid kit!

WTF happened in the tent overnight??

Maybe it doesn't come out in the photos, but the nanosecond I opened the tent, I saw the difference ... a HUGE explosion of growth.
In particular, the Cream Mandarine and the Devil Cream 1 ... crazy height growth and leaf explosion in 24 hours.

Everything is looking really, really healthy this morning.
I was worried I'd be walking into a critical care unit after the transplanting for the Devil Cream 1 and 3 ... but what I stumbled into was the total opposite.

Maybe they've all just responded in a hugely positive way to yesterdays nute feeding ... whatever it is - long may it continue!!

Oh ... and random upskirt shots are revealing some lady bits ... it seems our little girls are turning into young women ...

Picture of health @Yozhik , always good to see the lady parts, i love this part too, once they get a foot hold in the soil and the benefit of a load of HPS, every day they look completely different from the last.
