RQS Northern Light Auto Ghetto SCROG

Day 77. Slow going still. The monster plants pistils are starting to go amber and the other 2 seems to be catching up. I suspect I'm still a couple weeks out and likely more on at least one plant (back left corner). The pistils on that plant are 3x thicker than the other 2 flowering. They have a blue hue to them and the bud sites are super leafy. All trichomes are still clear. The photo-auto is now 43" tall. I got some root powder and will take clones next week to put under a old T5 aquarium light. I think I'll veg those out and flower the "mother". If it turns out to be a good plant, the clones should be ready to flower when the mother is done. This will work in perfect world, but I suspect this process will be sketchy and completely unreliable. This kind of sucks still. I should be into my dry and cure. The crispy leaves worry me too, making for a harsh smoke. RQS claims this strain is "perfect for beginners" and "ideal for indoors". In this batch of seeds, this is simply false. You'll need a tent/area over 6ft tall and I can't imagine 4 plants (same strain) that require vastly different care is good for anybody, let alone a beginner. Fingers still crossed....
