Ethos- Mandarin Cookies R1 V2

Still leaving the girls pretty much alone. I did top, and many new branches shot out. I have been using LST clips, they are amazing. I never snap branches, never have to tighten any rope or strings, and I do not have to adjust often. When the plant does get bigger, it's good to move the clip as I've had them snap. I use SCROG when in flower, so because of that I spend lots of time training my girls to be very short and bushy. My last grow, I had a male in the tent and because it was four plants I took a big hit removing it. He was the largest plant so my tent lost about 35-40% of its potential harvest because it was a male. Because of that I purchased feminized seeds from a reputable breeder. I am tired of growing random strains and multiple strains at the same time because they all have such different needs. Please note, that formula for nutrients is what I am using for the Mandarin Cookies and outdoor balcony grow. I am not giving them 1 gallon of water, I am simply pouring a little in. I did notice a deficiency in my lower fan leaves, I have yet not given the girls any nutrients or micronutrients. Only PH balanced 6.5 water which sits for 48 hours first. Also, full disclosure, I have been leaving my girls near the window behind glass, on the 18th floor to get 4-6 hours of direct southern Ontario sunlight. I've heard of the risks, you can bring bugs in etc. I am leaving behind the window and I am on the 18th floor, I feel as if I have a chance of being safe. Why do I do this you ask? I watched a video of a craft grower who gives the plants both direct sunlight and artificial light. Artificial does not have the same spectrum as the sun, nothing does. Ok maybe there is but I have not heard of it. I wanted to try it while the sun is still strong here, we get like 4 months of decent weather a year and might as well. Honestly, I saw the plants literally grow an inch or half inch daily when they had the few hours of direct sun.
