What have these girls been through the last couple of weeks?

Well let's start from bad and then go to worse.

I have the air pump on all the time, the one that feeds all the waterfarms, well for some reason and some time ago. Had to be at least 1 1/2 to weeks, I took the pump on the timer and plugged it into the strip, so it was always on.

Get's worse. Some type of sediment grew and plugged the holes that feed into the water right at the point where the air exists. So they all start doing absolutely nothing. Most of them had their roots reach their nutes, but none of those roots were getting good oxygen. I wonder if keeping the air on all the time made them sediment grow to plug the hole?

Anyway, around the same time or right before they stopped growing. I pruned them a second time since last. Then a third time and a fourth. I don't know what got over me. I just was possessed to cut off all the high wide leaves that were shadowing elbows.

Well I thought it was the pruning that was slowing their growth, and I'm still not absolutely sure that it was. Any, the lasting pruning, was actually a harvest of very immature but sticky white only flowers. What can I say, I was fiending.

Anyway here they are, some of them sickly and some of them, I think, better for the entire stressful experience. Look how the white widows are flowing. That's only about 4 days from pruning. Female Seeds white widow rocks! :dance:

Haven't seen these girls in a few so, this is the first time seeing icing. :thumbsup:
I know it's not that much to you pros, but I've never seen a weed, in person ice the leaves at least not growing live.

Forgot to mention. One the ice plants won't flower at all. It just sits there, but the other one is doing great. Weird thing is one of them have thin leaves (the frozen one) and one of them has fatter leaves like the white widow.
