Finally got around to doing the slurry test tonight. Like I said, I have a bottom-rung ph pen. I mixed and stirred for a couple minutes, then dunked the pen. At first it spiked high, then settled down to around 6.3-6.4, even when I stirred a bit with the tester. That was just testing with tap water, I was fresh out of distilled for now.
The plants are looking a bit healthier today. Leaves were a bit darker and the drooppies on the Candyfloss were gone. I'll put today's pic here, but I really should get back to updating my grow journal.
The Candyfloss continues to amaze me with its growth rate. I had to move the fan outside the tent and raised the light almost as high as I can, even bypassing the height pulleys. I tied it off to bend it a little more.

The flowering is coming along nicely. I'm showing a finish date of roughly a month from now.

On the photos I thinned a few of the lower leaves, including the "problem child" now that it's been overshadowed by other leaves above it. The one leaf with tri-color variegation is still there on the plant to the right, just way down low.

After the slurry test I watered 'em all up and zipped them up for now. BTW, I showed that pic of the bud progress and my better half (who hadn't looked at the plants for a couple weeks) got big eyes and ran upstairs to see the girl in person. A lot of people knock autos, but frankly I'm having fun with this one and the potency of the genetics is advertised as fairly high, in the upper 20%'s. Now I'm eyeballing another auto from the same seed bank, Ragnar's Hammer.
