Satori's bud sites are beginning to swell slightly; the Fruitylicious is showing sites where her buds are going to swell, however, they are still taking their sweet time about doing so. Nevertheless, both girls are doing well and the Satori has shown much progress since her last pics 5 days ago: Satori 59 days old / 19 days flowering ...
