Day 16 - Parting is such sweet sorrow

Spent some time discussing my grow with a couple of experts on another forum and we came to the conclusion that my system will probably not support all 6 plants, at least not as big as these girls have already gotten. I'm only 4 days into 12/12 now and they've got a ton of growing to do. The concern is that if the plants get too big, then their root masses will become to tightly packed in the reservoir. If that happens then there won't be enough nute or oxygen circulation and I'll have problems with disease and rot.

So I made the decission to go with quality over quantity and I removed the three smallest and weakest plants from the reservoir. This will give the remaining three plenty of room for growing.

I was looking at the plants this morning, and it looks like I've got a total of 17 "tops" that will turn into primary colas - six each on two of the plants, and five on the third one. That's gonna be quite a harvest in 6.5 weeks or so .
