big update: Topping, Repotting, and Moving all 3

Starting to see a BIG difference in the 3 now. I know whic is which on sight, but i still have tags. two are close, in stature and all, but another is a little strange. its skinny, and has wide fingers that look like a duck's foot. Check her out: the bottom leaves show it more than the others. If you look at the bottom ones, they are almost round. Not very vigorous, compared to the others, either. I find myself almost hoping its a male. Not really though, because i dont want the literal headache again so soon. It takes days to get rid of, even if i wear a mask

Number 2 is pretty, and all her branches, secondaries, seem to be keeping pretty even at the bottom. that could change as soon as she gets some of that food, and puts it to use. I just topped all 3, today. Last night they got a silica feed.
This comes about 48 hours after their transplant into 2 gal pots. They got a recharge laced feed when i did that, and seemed to go through it without any real signs of shock. They also seem to be responding well to the topping. no wilting so far, and i cut them first thing this morning. I counted 11-fingers on all 3 of them, prior to topping.
(I will get exact contents of both feeds and edit in an update. Just have to get out my notes. )
Here's #2

#3 has 1 secondary that is shooting up like a rocket, looking for something. It's almost reached the level of the topping sight, missing it by only a few mm.
I liked this one more when i transplanted, but the longer the single stem gets, and the more lopsided she looks, the less I like her. I have a sprawling web w/the glue breath i have now.

we will see how they do over the next few days as they adapt to their new pots, and their new COB in a 2x2x4 tent. Let you know in a few days!

Great photo's and good job. I am subbed into learn and share. I have grown a few Mephisto's strains and love em.
 
why thank you! I'm in the process of filling up my blog with what I currently have growing. I'm perpetually harvesting, planting, and there's always something interesting going on. Not only my glue breath, but i also have 5 mystery seeds I dropped at the same time. Its just the GB was just so strong, they popped up within 48 hrs of planting (from a soak till they sank) . I'll be starting a journal on them when they come up. I would love to share and get help with those too because I have no idea what they are! they could be literally anything cannabis.
 
Very nice. I'm all for the keeping of genetics by smaller growers, and that looks a lovely plant. I had a similar issue myself, with a Jamaican Haze & was rewarded with a single lovely female in the last seed.

Can't wait to see more.

Me either. The one i have of her growing now, is really a pain to deal with. She get light stressed SO easy. does NOT like more than 14 hours of light, period. and she HATES LED light. Once I drop her down to 12/12 , and her spectrum changes some, she goes from a light green, scraggly streesed out mama to the lush tree you see in the photo with the DARK leaves(blue background). They look like two different plants. If you dont do at least 2 drastic trims, and some intensive training out,you won't get much but some amazing tops, and a whole lotta larf. She was one of my first 5 plants to pop (the other 4 were mephisto)and she's the primary reason I've gotten as good at shaping plants as I have. It would be nice to get both a male and female out of these seeds. She reminds me so much of that old school Northern Lights I used to get, and you don't see much anymore. drives me crazy not knowing her lineage

unfortunately, all my seeds were female:( my search continues for a male like her. It was funny, NEITHER of her sisters was anything like her either. One I call Lemon Funk, I'm keeping her. the other was soso. skinny, not a lot of bud. REALLY weak stems. flopping all over the place. My chances of finding a male thats like her now, are slim to none. You just dont see Northern Lights out there much anymore... unless I'm missing a strain? You got any suggestions for a Nor Lights-leaning male? I was REALLY hoping that one of them would be a male.
