Can't wait for these girls.. #1 and #2 seeds are beautiful and #2 is still leading the pack in every physical attribute i care about. Thought they'd be a bit more bud-like by today, but the development is consistently progressing, nonetheless. Getting some good frosty rails on some of the smaller fan leaves.
#3(4) is fugly and a turd bucket. Bunch of leaves, small nugs, et al... I defoliated a second time, which i rarely do this late in bloom. I was worried about microbial growth as it nears the end. Good thing is it almost done. I don't like it in my bloom box. Eugenics is practiced here! It's okay for plants, but not humans. Other good news, taped up branches haven't dried out, so some vascular tisue must be providing sustenance.
Thanks @SweetSeeds for the digital microscope, via Sweet Seeds Cup - GD Edition contest. I lost this package somehow, but now it can be put to good use. I have a propensity for such things, lol.
the macro shot is of #3 plant. It is not an especially good model, but it has been cut down and accessible for this scope at the moment.
