Window plants are looking great.
I snipped the top off the tallest one, but it still keeps growing,..

The reservoir is green with algae, but the roots don't seem to mind.

The tallest window plant just keep stretching, so I topped it again.

The second tallest looked ready to top as well. I wanted to get it now figuring that it will still stretch more.

The shortest plant may not need to be topped? I will top it too if it looks like it will outgrow the others.

After the trim...

The roots look really happy 😊

They are covered in algae but they don't seem to mind.

The only reason that I would clean the reservoir is to take better pictures of the roots, but I'm not going to bother.
I decided to go green to help save the environment. Lol

I'm just checking the PH and PPM regularly.
They are starting to get quite thirsty, about a liter of a day.

The window plant is starting to fill in.
She's looking a little wrinkled still, but she looks nice and lush.
I've been spraying her and the top of the planter with water several times a day.

My lucky plant is still hanging on. It's almost an inch tall.
I don't know what it is? It could be just a blade of grass. Lol

Less than 250 Watts all in, right now with all the lights, 2 fans, and an air pump.

I'm about half way to test current.

You're doing some kind of foliar spraying?

Yeah, just tap water to help keep the humidity level up.
It's pretty dry now with the change of seasons.

I spray the plant and surface of the media a few times a day.

It's getting really thirsty now.
Both the window plants and closet plants are drinking a liter a day.

The window planter is creeping up with its PH.
It needed 20 drops of PH down to bring the reservoir down from 6.38 to 5.8

The closet plant will be next to start drifting up. She's a week or two younger than the window plants.

She hasn't really kicked into a full stretch, and I don't know if or when that will happen?
She's well into flowering now but I'm not seeing much stretch.

My closet plant is really filling in.
She's pretty thick.

She just happens to be 19" tall. The exact same height as the plant that I grew before that I really liked.
I'm intending to harvest her at about 9½ weeks, just like that other plant.

She's 6 weeks and 4 days old today.

I've got 3 lucky plants growing.
Don't know what they are.
Looks like grass and two tiny clovers.

I bent the branches down a bit to open her up and removed a bunch of bigger fan leaves that weren't looking too great anyway.
