Lemon AK + Zkittlez Autoflowers

Not sure what happened exactly but somebody lit a fire under these girls and they seem to have exploded vertically. I haven't done any topping or substantial pruning of these girls because this is my first experiment growing autoflowers and I didn't wan't to mess with that variable because it seems to have a significant effect on autos. It MAY be because we had a mini heat wave of sorts last week where we had about 3 days in a row pushing the high 90's with minimal fog and sunshine all day - and we're near the solstice so this is about as effective as mother nature gets when I can move my (mini) plants from one end of the yard to the other to suck up those rays. They are clearly feeling it. So the growth leader is naturally the spindly girl - tallest plant by far now. She has a much larger internodal spacing than the other two Lemon AK's - the fan leaves themselves seem smaller, thinner - no stopping the light getting in at those buds. This girl now spends the first half of her day under my LED lights in the tent (which come on starting at 1900 local), then I pull her out in the morning (depending on fog level) to sit in the sunshine until about 1600, then I give her about 3 hours of darkness in the tent. Last week she was 29" tall, this week she's 38" tall. Whoa nellie! Now the outdoor Lemon AK has always been bushier with leaves seeming a bit broader than the indoor girl. At the current flowering level, the indoor girl has almost miniature leaves for new growth - is that a pistil or a leaf - or are you just happy to see me? It's easy to tell the two apart just on looks. Buds are certainly starting to fatten up all around. The indoor girl was 22" last week and 26" this week. She gets 18 hours of LED light/day. The outdoor girl was 18" last week and 23" this week. The Zkittlez is really starting to fatten up in the bud department. The buds seem a bit closer together than the Lemon AK's, a little denser structure... but clearly happy and growing like crazy. A slightly lighter color green than the Lemon AK's. She was 21" last week and is 28" now. Go baby go! 😎 Everybody is getting a fairly high (which for me is irregular) nutrient level, rather than 50% levels, which is my norm.
