Indoor autos from Barney's Farm

A lot to report this week--I learned a lot. Purple Punch Auto: having used a different light to look at trichomes with a new microscope, I spotted some amber trichromes and figured I'd try harvesting a few buds (26g wet), including the main cola. I dried it for five days and tried it: wow. Definitely early: it didn't taste like much, maybe a bit earthy. I also didn't trim enough of the sugar leaves--I'm a little unsure about how much is too much. On the other hand, it definitely worked: it's strong and really cerebral. To be honest, I hope it mellows a bit! I left about 60% of the buds on the plant and it's put out new flower growth. I think it's stressed, since some of the buds are putting out new pistils off to the side. I'd appreciate suggestions: should I just chop it now or let it keep going? In any case, the PPA topped out at 56cm. Tangerine Dream Auto: well, this one really has popped. Lots of flowering sites. It looks like I have light burn now though, and I'm not sure what to do. The light is as high up as it can go already, and I bent the main stem yesterday accidentally trying to pull it to the side. It seems fine today though and is standing up entirely on its own without problems. I've switched from 24/0 light schedule to 18/6 in the hopes that it will slow the burn. TDA is now 67cm. I've switched to Bio-bloom, Top-Max, and Alg-a-Mic entirely at this point.
