Black Apple Hitchcock & Velvet Moon

Back from my interstate holiday and feeling fresh. Had to wait 8 hours after returning home to reveal the state of this grow and boy was i not disappointed! Opening the tent revealed 2x bushy, out of control plants which had shot up nearly 1/2m while i was away. Res tank only climbed to 6.2 and was adjusted on return. I have just completed a massive strip/defoliation of both plants as it is the end of week 2F and the start of week 3F. I will now post at the end of each week as opposed to the start as i have done previously. Pistil formation has started all over the place, and i can already tell i’m going to need extra branch support for this one as some are using the tent walls to stay up already. Hoping to maintain the 50cm distance from my light for 100% power during flower. That would mean my plants can only grow another 15cm. Pray for me haha! Hope you all had a good break!
