Ed Rosenthal Super Bud & Low-Stress Training (LST)

thatz nice snowy budshots. I like the JTR !  

Yeah, there's a pic in Jorge's Indoor Bible of a couple of pistils growing from the centre of a leaf, but bananaman's JTR looks like it's got a whole little bud growing there.

I will check each spurs (spurs forming a X on pic #3 & #6) knowing that on young female young flower usuallly developp more right behingd the Spur   ,at each nodes,and see what's behind,one tiny flower may have sprouted but you are not seeing her with so many branches,


on the stem it is hard to see and there is no flower yet or (maybe on pic ~4) , it looks a small flower dried),
look maybe on the top shots but behind the spurs,sometimes like I said earlier they flower when we are not waiting for anymore....cheers...
she looks female to me....otherwise a male will have flower by now.....let's think this way.since it has no pre flower and it is so long to flower....


you can see the stem,the branches ,the leaf,the spur,and the tiny female flower between.
if I was you I will look for the tallest spur of the plant,then look right behind ,pull it a litle bit and check if there is any flowers,she may flower 3 days after you run of patience....cheers...


Here for you a few pics from the book "sinsemilla Marijuana Flowers " By Jim Richardson Photography by Arik Woods and /or press Berkeley California 1976.
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
I 've grown one in 1992 in south of france,it was 20-25 Ft tall,not only the main colas but all the branches,it reach my hips at the FIRST european floor (sorry for my mistake),an african variety ,that I started growing inside ,it was 3-4 ft tall when I put it outside ,was first choked a litle bit and loose a few leaves but it started growing a lot very soon after that,   I used 15-20 liters of water everyday sometimes more ,it was in a patio outside ,safe from any winds,but all walls were white and she was growing against the wall facing south.no roof of course.it was really a nice outdoor spot,I was inspired by this book,so I was thinking tonight ,it may inspired other growers....sadly the plant was destroyed by someone an d i have no picture to show,but it was so huge that in a a way it was discreet.

thanks holistic & mendocinobay - thanks for the interesting pics - that sounds like a mystical plant that you grew, i'll try to check out that book -

saw a big difference in morphology after removing the ties, saw that characteristic "V" pistil formation on one of ERSB shoot tops today

seems like the loops "stunt" development above that portion of the stem - saw that in veg too, increased stem girth upto the tie & rapid "filling" out of stem as i advanced the loops

btw "constrictures" are subsequently formed below the nodes - curious about how this affects phloegm transport immidately above these points to adjacent growth shoots/budsites

i'll keep you posted - thanks a lot for the help, had suspicions but not much confidence from lack of experience

peace

sorry personal problems have kept me away for a while. to answer your question yes their is a fem flower growing from the upper leaf, have occured on a few of the top JTR leaves. I found it strange too!
