Water Change Time Again
Not a lot to report this week as far as the autos. They are doing well...well,what autos do. They got a heavier dose of nutes this water change than last, and I'm hoping they can handle it. It's coming down to the end soon. Breeder info adds up to Jan 25 to Feb 1. I think they'll go a bit longer...maybe? I don't know.<shrug> I do know water levels, ph, & bud formation will be checked everyday from now on. I'm looking for that perfect time to try Light Addict's back building method. I'm getting antsy the closer it gets.
The photo plants have had some aggression taken out on them. I cut all the old, giant, leathery leaves off and supercropped the hell out of them. I've taken nearly every branch and broken them toward the outside of the plants, and tied the main growing shoots out to the sides also. Nothing I do hurts these two plants. It looks like I sat on them. The pics really don't do justice to the abuse I've done. I am hoping to throw them under a screen as soon as the autos are harvested. Don't know if I'll flip them then or veg some more. Depends on yield of the autos, and size of the photos by then. You'll notice there is zero height growth recorded for them this week, they are actually shorter than last Fri. I thought for sure that they'd die this week. Damn scissors call my name like cocaine calling Richard Pryor. The seeds came from some mediocre commercial smoke. Not really sure if it's worth growing them out for anything other than the experience, or maybe to make butter.
I did get a 3ml graduated syringe this week to make measuring ph down easier. A marinade injector just doesn't work that well.
My ph in levels are closer to correct now. A little more practice and experience, and I'll have a pretty good handle on it. I hope.
Enough BS, time for the pics and measurements taken. Enjoy everyone and remember you can click on the pic for a larger view.

Thanks for taking a look. Hope you enjoyed it. 
Thought I'd give you a little mid week CannaPorn tonight. My autos are showing a bit of nute burn on the tips. I let them get low on water this week and think that caused the nutes to be over concentrated, or I just over fed them last Friday. Meh, it'll be alright. It's days 38(#3 short) and 39(#4 tall). Breeder info says harvest is 56 to 63 days. So 18 to 25 days left...allegedly. I can live with it. I hope you enjoy my pics, be sure to click for a larger view.
It's crazy how different our plant's are, I was too scared to do any training or anything to mine.. Race ya to the finish line!
