Here's a quick update for Christmas Eve Friday. Down to 3 plants, and the girls are enjoying the extra space. Left to right is Purple Kush Auto #3 and #2, and a Gold Leaf Auto S1 #3:
Purple Kush Auto #2 is 80. She's been looking ready with dense buds, but the trichomes are still clear, so gonna wait a bit. She has a few mites, but seems more resistant than the previous plants. A couple of colas had some webs, and I didn't want to spray at this late stage, so I singed them off with a heat gun (the kind they use for burning off old paint). I hovered too long and it burned off some sugar leaves, but the trichs survived. I also tried my first super-crop on the tallest cola so I could lower the light a bit:
Gold Leaf Auto S1 #3 is 56. Her 2 sisters from the same mother are already cured and I've been smoking/sharing them. Each was quite different The last one was quite skunky, stinking up the neighborhood before harvest. Her buds were so tarry they took forever to dry. High hopes for this señorita:
Purple Kush Auto #3 is 37. She's stretching now. She got a wire hoop this week to spread the taller branches, and the shorter branches are inside the hoop:
I've been keeping the temperature about 70°F, for a passable VPD at the ambient RH of 40%. All were topped at 3 weeks old above node 4. The plan is to make some improvements to the space after I chop one more plant, and then start 3 more in January.
That's all for now. Thanks to all, and to all a happy Christmas, Chanukah, Kwanza, Solstice, and whatever else you may celebrate.

Is this literal? Like... you used a syringe and all?
