NL week7, BG week6, PK week5, Gold Leaf week1
Northern Lights is 49 days old. At 8" tall, she's probably a bit stunted, but trying to flower. That's the main cola on the right, held down by the white electric wire. The other branches are now almost the same height:
Bubble Gum Auto is 42 days old, hasn't had anything but water. The top cola is on the right, tucked under the black wire. The lower branches have caught up. Maybe early signs of pre-flower:
Purple Kush Auto is 35 days old and pushing out lots of pistils. She's only had a little bending of the main cola to get the branches up to a level top. That's the main cola on the right, being pulled down with a hook of #14 white electric wire:
These 2 babies are Gold Leaf Auto, both a week old. They're in line to replace whoever finishes first and 2nd. They've had full light from day 2. I'm pushing them with max light to try and get 4 nodes before day 20, in which case I'll top at least one of them (per @budelee's work on HST here at AFN).
Here's a wide angle of all 5 midget ladies in the basement grow room (a work in progress). That's (2) 100w QB's and a 65w. Top row: Northern Lights Auto, Bubble Gum Auto, Purple Kush Auto. The two Gold Leaf Auto babies are in front:
Humidity was way too high, so I got a 22 cup dehumidifier (GE). It got RH down from 80 to 50 pronto. I got tired of emptying the tank every 6 hours, so I got a condensate pump. It has a little tank under it with a float switch, so every time it collects a quart or 2 of water the pump comes on for a few seconds and empties it out. The blue hose drains the dehumidifier to the condensate pump. The white pipe (3/8" PEX) runs along the ceiling to a laundry sink:
I'll move the girls back outside while I upgrade the exhaust from 6" to 8" when ACInfinity delivers my new exhaust fan this week. I still need to stucco the bare clay wall behind the dehumidifier with ferro-cement, install a filtered air supply, finish sealing the perimeter with reflective mylar, install a 2nd 15-amp electric circuit, etc. That's all I have to report this week. I intend to continue to post updates every Friday. Thanks for all the help from @420Forever and the gang at Live Stoner IM chatroom.
