Slurricane #7 in autopots

1/27 Day 19 of flower. The transition period is over and we’re now making buds finally. With all 4 plants the canopy was very uneven, and it was too crowded to make many adjustments. I also noticed I was starting to get some powdery mildew down near the bottom. Considering all this, I decided to cull the 2 runts and instead spread out the strongest 2 with the trellis net. I also did another round of defoliation to further improve airflow and hopefully stop the spread of the PM. In a roundabout way I think I’ve discovered 4 plants in a 3x3 is not optimal and will only be doing 2 going forward. Light adjusted to 670 PAR / 28.9 DLI. 1/29 Day 21 of flower. Removing the 2 runts was clearly the right choice. The remaining 2 look good and have loads of airflow all around them. VPD is a little on the high side at 1.4 during the day but considering the PM issues I’ve had that’s probably a good thing.
