Today, when I opened the tent, I was hit by a wall of hot and humid air.
I turned off the exhaust last night while I moved the circulation fans but forgot to turn it back on. DOH!
Luckily, it's still early flower, so there is no risk of mold yet, but I wouldn't want to repeat this during late flower.
The girls love life and have completely filled the tent. The canopy isn't as flat as I'd like, especially since the first girl lacks some height in the back, but it's not terrible. It might get worse as the second girl stretch. We'll see.
I did a very slight defoliation by removing all dead/dying leaves low in the canopy.

Cleaned up the lower canopy on the first girl. Holding off on the second one until she is done stretching.

Super cropped a couple of the tops on the second girl to slow them down to maintain a flat canopy. There are a few necrotic spots on a couple of leaves on the second girl. It's not bad, but worth keeping an eye on.

It's hard to believe that the second girl was the smaller one from the start since she is now raging hard. She has stretched 13 cm in three days!
I gave each girl 1.25 liters of water @ pH 6.6, with humic and fulvic acid, sprouted seed tea, bokashi juice, and fermented fruit juice.

The girls are rocking it in the tent, but primarily the second girl is turning into a star. There are some yellow leaf tips, but almost all interveinal chlorosis is gone, with no new necrotic spots. All in all, they both look healthy and vibrant. Same, same, but different.
I moved the girls into my other tent as it has a bit more space, and having two lights makes it easier to manage the uneven canopy.
This extra headroom is helpful because they stretched over 30 cm this week. Fingers crossed that they are done soon...

@MrGrowthSpurt, Thank you! The plants might look healthy now, but there were struggles in the first few weeks due to the top dressing I applied. Lessons learned!
@StarLorr, I hope so. I don't have much experience in dealing with nutrient issues, so I'm feeling a bit lost, to be honest. Oh well, it will be a learning experience ;)
Plants are simply too happy in your tents, they don't want to stop growing.
I never knew it's enough to put the mites in a sachet and hang them on the plant π³ how do they get out?
@kohlrabi, They are so happy that I'm considering playing death metal to them. That should mellow them out.
There's a small hole in each sachet, and the mites will venture out over a period of time.
