Did I Do That??

Happy Christmas Eve everyone! It's the morning of Day 14 of veg and these girls are off to a fantastic start! All four plants recovered well from their initial tip over and are standing tall and strong with nice size stalks. I think my theory is good that they are just growing lead so fast in week 1 that they need a bit of support. Plant structure is looking great, nice spacing between branches and good healthy colour. Plants are feeling light and looking thirsty, they've finally drank through the initial 3L watering when setting the pots. 18 days from seed still faster than my average 20-21 days for system syartup. Will be turning on the pots this afternoon after I finish cleaning the system from last run. Was going to use an old set of OG valves, but figure now that the 5.0 valves are done their run might as well clean em and use them instead. The larger tube diameter does wonders for avoiding clogged lines, and it means I won't have to clean the OG valves after only a weeks use once they more to the big tent. Removed the bottom two set of branches from each plant mid week and left the leaves, no point in letting them grow in only to cut them after but plants to benefit from leaving the leaves. Helps them absorb enough light, and it's my third or fourth time doing this and never seem to notice them stress, where as when I remove the leaves and branches they look stressed for a day or so. Less stress the better with autos, short lifespan have to keep everything on point for good yields!
