Day 42 of 12/12
Had a good week back in my shop and about 75% as far as work goes.
Had a good week with the ladies also, until yesterday, my pH/temp meter died. Not sure whats up with that going to call them today to try and figure it out. Anyway I went to Wally World and got some pH strips for a fish tank, only problem is it only measures to a low of 6.2 so when I start my Hempy buckets I will definitely need a new or repaired meter. After 6.2 the next measure is 6.8 so I will have to find a happy medium today.
They are not growing a lot now but putting on weight, drinking about a gallon of h2o and/or nutes a day, stinking up the box, almost a too sweet smell. After I close the box during inspection or feeding it takes about 30 minutes for the smell to leave the garage, LOL, love it!
As an experiment I trimmed off some leaves from Q2's daughter mainly to open up the lower buds and have seen no negitive results. The lower buds have taken off and beginning to bulk up. Will show a pic of before and after. Q2 is doing just fine, looking like a lovely lady and bulking up also.
The new additions to my clan are doing fine, out of six pills, 3 WW and 3 Ace only one WW popped and is looking good, but all three Ace popped, two are fine and the third started unrolling and the tap root was out the bottom of the Root Riot. I transplanted into the 18 oz. Hempy cup but it is just sitting there doing nothing. Keeping an eye on her.
Ok, some pictures.

Something that is interesting is that with the accidents that broke off a few shoot that had me creating a 9 shoot mainline, the three minor shoots are on the inside of the circle but some of the side shoots of the other six mains are larger than the minor shoots, to me that show the power of the manifold system.
