First Autos

Kinda wishing I had topped the middle plant right about now... It was short and runty so I let it be, hoping it would catch up to the others. Now it has gone straight past them and into the light. Stretch seems to be about done finally, and my light has hit the top of the tent so it better be. The right plant has stayed fairly small and matured faster than the other two - I suspect root stress caused this one to flower earlier. The buds on the early plant smell lovely - strong blackberry vibes. The buds are starting to fill out, and the sugar leaves are all covered in trichomes. The other two plants have grown very tall, but the flowers are in a much earlier stage. These still smell more like lemon grass than blackberry. I am hoping that the buds start to fill out on these in the upcoming weeks. I got back from vacation this week and promptly mixed up a fresh batch of nutes (the previous batch was down to 400PPM from adding water). New nute batch went a little hot (1000PPM) but I'm hoping that will help the buds fill out. The bottom shelf is also full of veggies, so planning for those to use up some of the nutes pretty quickly as well. Removed a bunch of dying leaves near the bottom of the plants, and a select few towards the top that were blocking shorter colas from maturing.
