Its not going to be a small plants as i think so Wedding Cheesecake are overall huge plants in every aspect. From they large fan leaves to sturdy stems and overall size off the plants. One Wedding Cheesecake is still smaller from rest but it start stretching also so will see finial results in the end off next week or when they finish stretching PAR map 1050max/680min PPFD, VPD -1.1-1.2, DRH 48-53%, NRH 46-49%, NT-21-22c, DT-25/26c, Leaf temperature 23c, Light distance 45-55cm, CO2 750+ppm HLG Scorpion Diablo @ 83% - 45-55cm distance 50s ON time 20min OFF time @ Day Time 50s Off time 30min OFF time @ Night Time NT-Nutrient Tank - PH -5.85-5.99, EC -1.15-1.21, Temp-20-22 24.03.2024 Remove some leaves from all girls. 4-5 from every lady.
