The first 2 sets of pictures are comparisons from last week to this week. It’s amazing how effective it is to do a screen of green. It’s pretty incredible how these plants adapt and bounce back.
I started to do a defoliation yesterday and each day I will work on each plant picking off leaves and sucker branches until next week. I think next week will be a good time to switch the lights to a 12/12 schedule and begin flowering.
