4x Auto Cinderella Jack + 2x I'm not sure ^^ in 4x4

The Cinderella's still try to form something like a cubic flower mass. No kidding they're as wide as deep as high... measurments in all 3 dimensions the same. ^^
And they seem to use any space there is (and there isn't any) to pack it with blooms.
So I decided instead of a third lamp above to...
Now we are already in week 12 for the Cinderellas / week 10 for the two brought out by me later.
Lil' Miss "Good girls don't bloom" finally shows decisive moves towards building some flowers.
The other three Cinderellas are somewhere mid-bloom...
And the ones younger by two weeks power...
I didn't put much focus on the tests seeds I germinated. At this point those two have overpaced the others by a lot.
Curious side note: one of the four Cinderella Jacks finally shows signs of early bloom (in f...ing week 11)... the ways of god are past finding out. xD
Wait! MOMMY? Didn't you...
Seems those little princesses consider it particularly smart to grow compact. Compact as compact can be. In any direction.
So time for more of (what I actually deem the most effective training on these plants) some 80s style stretching aerobic:
Yeah baby, stretch baby, feel the pain... no...
Symptoms manifest themselves more, especially on the plant in the top left.
YET I am facing a god damn JUNGLE... AGAIN! We know what to do... xD
In the back: a 1kg (2 pounds) bag of sugar as measurement
At this point I have cut hundreds and hundreds of leaves... on one single plant ALONE...
Plants showing some diffuse symptoms. Light stress? Nutriant burn? F-Gnats terror? All combined?
Decided to end guesswork and to buy some good pH and EC soil sensors.
Model: Aqua Master Tools H600 Pro Substrate
Price: a shit load of Euro bucks compared to that cheap China shit... never trust...
Decided to get rid of a lot of that nasty green flappy thingies coming out of those plants. AGAIN.
Yes, Mommy. I know Mommy. Not too much stress on autoflowers. They have no time to recover. Yeah yeah... (blabla?) No, Mommy, 'course I would never even dare to stress autos in flowering.
PS...
Un-f...ing-believable I stripped them naked, I cut them, I bent them, f-gnats gnagging on their roots... seems those Cinderella Jacks can take lots, looooots of pain.
Real resilient princesses.
Just one photo, the war against the f-gnats escalates slightly, now a bigger improvised water trap. ^^
On the right edge of the photo you can see the 2 of 3 seeds that germinated in between.
Day 23:
Day 25 afternoon, next experiment:
-remove the nasty green stuff coming out of those branches on 2
-LST on nodes 1+2 of one of the defoliated plants
First proof of the fight against the fungus gnats (improvised water trap):
Going into week #3 the non-performers still do not perform. (They went in the trash and were replaced by 1x Auto Mimosa Punch and 2x Auto Sweet Bourboun Kush seeds)
The 4 Auto Cinderella Jack's growth was compact. VERY compact. For some time I feared, if they grew any more compact, they might...
4 of my Princesses did a good job so far... 3 of them no job at all.
Starting out in my kitchen on the floor... yet too stingy for a tent xD
The "big" plant on the left is the last of my outdoor grow - a Glamour Automatic, rescued from my greenhouse because of bad weather period (with 100.0% budrot guarantee).
I planted 7x Auto Cinderella Jack directly into my...
