10/28/21 (12/12 day 9): The plants are still stretching but the stretch hasn't been as significant as I had hoped, so these girls may not get as tall as I wanted them to get. I continued to use veg nutrients for the first week of 12/12 but now I'm using flowering nutrients. The first bud sites are visible now as well.
11/2/21 (12/12 day 14): For the past couple days I've been defoliating to allow as much light as possible to get to the lower parts of the plant. I'm defoliating just a little at a time to hopefully avoid over stressing the plants. The tallest plants are about 31" tall now. I'm hoping they still stretch a little bit more over the course of the next week..
