Getting the rust off

Sadly S, the cat in my phofile photo passed away quite suddenly last Sunday. As he always joined me while I was looking after the girls, his absence is particularly noted. Early in the week I'm starting to see some clearer differences between the 3 plants I have clones of. A, the back left one was the first to start having some pistils turn brown. However all of her buds are the thinnest of the group. C, the front left, has the fastest buds, but they're also more slowly maturing. She's got lots of trichomes, but they're still staying small and not thickening yet. B is has thicker buds than A, but the trichomes are also increasing, and pistil hairs turning brown slightly less quickly than A. D, the mainlined plant that I didn't get a clone of matching C pretty well. I took some time to remove some of the lowest growth. The plants trying to make popcorn, except there's so little light that they're the palest of green. At this point trying to use pipettes in a 2/3 full bottle isn't so fun, so I foil wrapped a bunch of mason jars, and I'll refill them as needed. Likely finally getting in the auto water system later today.
