First Grow - Blackberry Kush Auto (DP)

At the beginning of the week I did some LST to help separate/spread out my main colas, trying to give them some room to breath for flowering. Unfortunately my country struggles with an issue called Load shedding, which results in frequent scheduled power outages. I would ideally still be running my plant on a 20-4 light schedule for the first two weeks of flower, to help promote a bit of extra growth and size. Sadly the power outages have force kicked my plant into hard flower. Due to this, the plant has been on a rough 16-8 light schedule, occurring in 2 hour outage blocks, which is most likely impeding growth and recovery of my plant.
