Wedding Cake [Auto, Barney's, Solo]

Buds are gradually bulking up. Stigmas have already switched colors from yellow to orange. In the photo of the biggest bud, you can see a bunch of trichomes. They're still kind of clear, but still cool to see. Thought there'd be loads of yellow leaves, but not this time. I'm chopping off one yellow leaf per day, only those that show clear signs of death. The burns on the leaves are pretty obvious in the photos. It's weird because I've had my lights set to 50% power from the get-go. If you convert that to PPFD, it's about 400 umol/m²*s in the center of the box, which is almost a third lower than what the manufacturer recommends. This is where the experience of growing different strains in various conditions comes in handy to explain this mystery!
