3 bears OG -2nd grow

These 2 are doing beautifully! Really learned from growing the first one, and these have been thriving in comparison! They are both above 18" tall already, and barely have any cola height yet. My last one finished with included cola at a height of 16". #1 got a little trimming last night, took 4 of the lowest sun leaves off, they were getting covered by other branches and I really want to see if they can handle the early defoliation. I'm also tucking the upper fan leaves, nothing too aggressive but enough for the budding branches to get that extra 50-100ppfd of light. #2 did not get trimmed yet, this one I'm going to follow the timeline of my last grow, and do first defoliation closer to week 8/9. Although this one was given less nutes over all and started off smaller, it has really taken the lead in height. Upper canopy is getting 550-600ppfd, mid and lower branches are getting 400-500ppfd. Update: these girls are really flourishing, the mid range of colas stretched up and created a secondary canopy getting just as much light as the colas. Hoping for bigger yield per plant this time around!
