Things are moving forward as expected.
The main tent is doing great. I had to bring the light as far up as it can go since the plants have grown into the lights. As far as I can tell l, they are done stretching aggressively now and are putting more energy into the buds. They had gotten about 6" away and the ppfd is about 1400 when they're that close. I managed to get about 11" away and the ppfd is more like 800-1000 depending on where you measure. They will need a major defoliation again within the next day or so.
The clone tent is also doing amazing. Flipped to flower 5 days ago and the stretch is kicking off. I removed some fan leaves to open the canopy up a bit and moved a bunch of tops into the squares in the trellis. Had I not done that, they would just have grown weakly under the strong more dense canopy above. Looking forward to watching them get taller.
I also invested in a pair of AC Infinity smart controllers and have been dialing them in to keep my temps and humidity more consistent. I have had a little trouble matching up with my inkbird temp and humidity controllers, but I think I have found a balance. The sensors just react at different rates so it's hard to know which one is more accurate. Either way, based on some early charting, it looks like they are doing a great job of keepingy VPD right where I want it.
@Kynareth, Well, thank you. It's been a huge confidence boost to see them do so well. I'm really hoping these flower as aggressively as they vegged...😀
