My new electronic ballast is indeed kaput, but otherwise vegging continues on schedule. Here are all three:

Happily, the stunted Thai appears to have shaken off the infection/infestation that plagued it earlier. It's still behind its sibling in size, but it and Bonsai are neck-and-neck.

Behold Bonsai Skunk suffering my klutzy excuse for LST training. I plan to drill holes around the rim when I get a spare moment.

Here's the healthy Thai, nearly as large around as its 3-gallon pail. If each of the branch intersections already present become bud sites, holey moley! I may need to start 12/12 sooner than I had expected. I have to thank Jam and others for encouraging me to stick to it; for a while I suspected I was a cannabis Typhoid Mary.

I grabbed a cheapie magnetic ballast for this run's flowering stage. Hopefully I'll have the Lumatek back and functioning by round 2.
