Ok, here I am.....another weekend and my big girls are still not ready to chop!!!
I know that these big ladies will be worth waiting for so I am trying to fill my time with other gardening activities.
I have been keeping an eye on my clips, which are now clones, I guess?
- 4 clones from the larger plant, 2 from the smaller...

Once again, I had 100% success rate with my clippings...all have sprouted roots and all have new green growth on top!
- The 2 closest are the ones being kept.

I don't think I need more time to decide how to proceed with my Mother quest....lol When I look at the larger of the two young females, I envision a crowded, tangled grow with plants reaching or exceeding the max penetrating power of my lights...similar to my last 2 attempts..(Which are getting a little better!). When I look at the smaller of the two I can see a neater, more organized, more uniform, more manageable grow....
- Side by side?? And the winner is....the petite one!

Soooooo, today I am planning to unplug my cloner....pull & trash the 4 clones from the larger plant. Then move the two clones, from the smaller plant, to a home made DWC bucket. I am thinking I will keep them under the T5 for maybe another week or two, to let them gain some size before hanging one of my 357 Magnums over them.
- These are the keepers that will go to a DWC bucket.

The two recently flowered females I never intended to let them finish, and with the difference in size, lighting them both equally could be a challenge. But the smaller of the two is so damn cute I don't want to kill her!
- Pretty little flowers

The larger plant will go in the trash today, while the smaller plant will go into it's own DWC bucket and will remain under one of my 357 Magmuns, on 12/12.
This single plant grow will be my son's responsibility to finish...his first ever attempt at growing....with me guiding and teaching him what little I know..... He has been helping me in my garden since going through a divorce and moving back home to rebuild....
Maybe this will add to his skill-set as well as his happiness??? LOL
Always.....Happy!
