I did some defoliation on the plants this week and moved the plants into different locations in the tent.
The plants have stretched a lot and the buds are forming quickly. My canopy could be better.

I decided to cut down the three plants in the flower tent. The plants were not very strong and the stems were breaking under very little weight. My mother plant in the other tent has just as many bud sites as the other three flowering plants combined. So I decided to cut them down. The rest of this diary will focus on the now flowering mother plant
I am very confident with my decision. The plant has absolutely taken up the new grow space and looks like it will produce the same if not more on harvest. I am also confident that the quality and the potency of the flower will be better.
Next week I will change all the settings to reflect the new plant in the flower tent

Turned the a/c unit off today and ran the tent exhaust out the window. I will monitor the temps for the next few days and adjust the environmental controls as necessary.
Within a few hours it was very obvious I was going to need to keep the a/c on.
Added a trellis net to the tent and began weaving the stems under it. If all goes well I will definitely have a harvest bigger than the three plants I had in tent to begin with.

The plant is drinking about 1500 ml a day so far with 60 to 70 percent dry back. I may have to add a second watering.
