High time for a update... pun intended. 7 weeks 2 days since germination and the ladies are progressing very well.
I must confess I should have rather used the same strain for this experiment, seeing how different each strain respond to training makes me feel that it's a bit of a missed opportunity, but at the end of the day if that is what I (we) learn from the ordeal it's not all bad.
Anyway, let's get to the part where I post pictures and stop talking nonsense.
CBD Crack Auto, topped early on in the grow. My favourite out of the 3 due to how she responded, 4 main colas with strong branches, I might even top each of the 4 colas to have 8, but I will see, might be a bit late in the day.
From the side:

Nice thick main branch sprouting into 4 side branches:
Fastberry Auto, bend over and pinned some of the branches to the side. Not quite what I wanted, colas all uneven and she started flowering already... Where I think I went wrong was to not bend her over more, but my pins was starting to cut into the fast growing trunk so I loosened it a bit...

Daiquiri Lime Auto, no training, no leaves taken off. She is growing extremely fast and tall and the fan leaves are huge, very impressed.

Very large fan leaves (as big as my hand):
So far it is not to difficult to say what's working best... yes that's right, doing nothing
I'm still rooting for the CBD Crack that I topped, things will be happening soon, I can feel it!
Until next week... or the week after that... or the week after that
