I love Barney's Farm!
If you're not planning a sea of green, you're gonna be so over crowded!

NOTES:
Keeping pH at 5,8-6,0 and EC at 1,3-1,4 like before. Overall healthy looking plants and I don't think I have really messed up anything. Roots are white and healthy, and have even reached the nutrient solution tanks below. I'm adding trellis nets to have more control of my plants height and to be able to spread them wider. I'll propably do a heavier defoliation somewhere at the end of the week or at the beginning of next. I'm not exactly sure when I should start to flower these baddies but I'm quessing maybe somewhere after 6th or 7th Vegetation week. Propably needs a lot of defoliating before that since they all are pretty sturdy and bushy, hopefully they'll get bigger after I switch the light cycle.
Day36 (22.11.)
I added the trellis net and started to guide some branches that reach with it. Also defoliated overall just a couple of leaves, lowest branches and nodes which didn't seem to get any light even by adjusting them.
Day37 (23.11.)
Adjusted more branches and leaves wider under the net. I'll continue doing this basically every time I visit my tent during the vegetation phase and the beginning of flowering. Plants are growing fast as fu©️k, and without bending them some of the tops would be at around 30cm height.
Day38 (24.11.)
Cut off a few nodes/small branches and leaves that didn't get any light or didn't look so good. It's pretty time consuming to train these plants to fill the trellis nets, hope it's worth it. I Accidently cracked one plant from middle, think it's going to recover well though. Plants haven't gotten much height because of the training I've done. Branches are pretty thick for their size in my opinion.
Day39 (25.11.)
Removed the humidifier since I have no more need for more humidity.
Day40 (26.11.)
I did the heaviest defoliation this far, removed/pruned some small lower nodes, foliage and approximately half of the big lower fan leaves per plant. Some variation of course but not really mentionable. I also dimmed the lights from 100% to 70% for the rest of the week to decrease stress caused by defoliation.
Day41 (27.11.)
Basically the same as yesterday but for the rest of the plants.
Day42 (28.11.)

Grow Questions
Finniegrowstarted grow question a year ago
I added some pictures of my problems (Veg. Week 2). Should I increase the solution strength or keep it as it is? Or could ot be something else than deficiency? All help and advice welcome.

When growing hydroponics, you really need to have a ppm, ec reader to feed properly. Here is a feed schedule I use
VEG STAGE FEED SCHEDULE
This feed regiment is for hydroponics such as RDWC, DWC, Drip systems, coco, promix HP, etc. This is for photo plants. From the day your babies pop from the soil, feed at,
Day 1....400 ppm, 0.8 ec for photos, 250 ppm, 0.5 ec for autos
Day 7....500 ppm, 1.0 ec for photos, 350 ppm, 0.7 ec for autos
Day 14..600 ppm, 1.2 ec for photos, 450 ppm, 0.9 ec for autos
Day 21..700 ppm, 1.4 ec for photos, 550 ppm, 1.1 ec for autos
Day 28..800 ppm, 1.6 ec for photos, 650 ppm, 1.3 ec for autos
Stop there unless you see your girls really need more. This applies for any fertilizers made for hydroponics and soil less grows. Maintain your ph at 5.8 through the entire veg cycle, and and try to keep your water as cool as possible

I've topped all of my plants and they are very similar to each other so these pics are just an example. Should I cut off the lowest branches or even the 2nd lowest with big sunleafs? Or would it possibly stunt the growth?

i wouldn't remove any leaves at this point. that'll only slow you down -- not an opinion.
Do you intend to use any of the stuff you listed. if you know those lowest 2 branches won't be used in the canopy, cutting them off is fine. i never use the axial buds from lowest growth node with the 1 finger leaves. i cut those off as soon as i they are large enough to safely snip off, because i know 100% that is wasted resources on growth i don't use. Even when i train those fckers to be dominant branches and even with canopy they have sucky buds by comparison to other colas in my experience.
the leaves power growth, not getting light to hit axillary buds. how easily they branch out is more about genetics. When you see heavily shielded axillary growth and tucking/bending isnt' enough, sometimes removing a leaf is useful. Try to wait until whatever is filling that space is large enough that you don't create large holes in your canopy.. light completely missing the plant is not effective use of electricity and only slows growth with less potential photosynthesis per day.
Remove the leaves when other leaves are congesting an area and you are getting potential condensation and such... or the RH is spiking too high in those areas. Don't remove them just because you see others doing it. i made that mistake plenty when topping and training early on.
Finniegrowstarted grow question a year ago
I'm trying to Scrog and Defoliate to improve yield and quality. When should I turn to 12/12 cycle and when to heavily defoliate? Indica strains so shouldn't grow that much height, right? Now I'm just spreadin them wider around the net since they are growing bushy/relatively short

What organomann said.
Though, there are some reasons to do it despite the negatives he lists that are all true. Risk reduction being one. You should have a specific reason to do it.
Leaves overlapping that cause standing water on leaves is a disease vector.
A shit ton of congested leaves raising local RH is a disease vector, too.
Standing water and excess moisture on leaves, bad! Unnngghhh!! https://youtu.be/Mawve_3NSj4?t=30
When i see a leaf controting or can easily predict it, that's another reason, also interelated to congestion above. Controrting means the leaf is putting a lot of effort into seeking light - reacting because is not getting enough. Rather have a few fully covering area without contortion. Vectors of light not hitting tops of leaves are severely attenuated, even if still causing some photosynthesis. Greater surface area of leaves lying properly is probably better.
Timing helps avoid any negatives too. Be pataient and let any growth that is expected to fill in gaps is actually be big enough to do so. No reason to take it off too soon.
I also remove axillary buds that I know will never be included in my canopy, but I don't clip off that node's leaves, if there is no reason to do so.

@AutoflowersSucK, I just moved my babies in to their final systems and added a picture to demonstrate how my tent is set up for rest of the grow. Feel free to follow along with my crop, any comments and advice are more than welcome! 😎

@AutoflowersSucK, Me too, they've been awesome! You may be right, but I'm going to have three hydro-systems for them.
2x NFT-GT90 and one bit smaller EBB-flood system. I'm planning on putting 5 plants in to each NFT and 3 in the smaller system, so 13 plants total in my tent.

If your diary is accurate and you are in week 3 of flower, you are approaching the time to do your last defoliation. Remove some light blocking fan leaves off the tops of the canopy to let light get down to lower nodes. If you have 2 big fan leaves on a top, remove 1 of them kinda idea. They need some leaves but you can remove 50% of the foliage for better yield
You are in flower now, you are going to want to drop that humidity to 50% max, 40% minimum.
By the way, it's great to see your garden has bounced back. I remember seeing it in it's infancy and i thought they might not pull through. Good job man!

@AutoflowersSucK, Already started taking appropriate precautions: I started doing a bit heavier defoliation on the upper parts of the plants, and I'm continuing it throught next week. I'm also doing my best to decrease the relative humidity in the grow room. Ventilation and fans are now continuosly on max. power, that should do the trick or at least help a bit. Cheers mate! 🙏

@Finniegrow, Yeah, i've had bud rot before years and years ago when we grew plants that had coke can thick colas. It's brown slimy and mushy, and it will spread and kill the whole bud. It's worthless. You can't smoke it or make edibles with it, it's 100% ruined, so be aware brutha!
