Double xl Watermelon Weddingcake Autoflowering

There is nothing new at the moment, I am happy - looks good in my opinion. The plants have grown 14cm in the last 3 days and are drinking the 1.5l of water until the next day. I think I will use the next round of plant bags in the hope of being able to water every other day - I am also thinking about switching to hydroponic, i.e. with automatic watering. I now have the lamp hanging about 80cm above the top of the plant and I have gone from 50% 132.5 watts to 70% 185 watt lamp power - I think I will increase it further towards the middle of the week. I have had problems with watering since day 36 - I can currently water twice a day, 1.5l right at the start of the light cycle and again after 8 hours. I think the pot size and pot selection was wrong because this pot is simply too aerated and therefore does not store or can store very little water - it is annoying when the plant is flowering. I have just ordered an automatic watering system and hope that this will solve the problem. At day 41 they got 0.5L compost tea with 2ml pk booster biotabs nl. The left plant i defoliate harder then the left plant on the right side - I wanna see if there is any difference between in budstructure later or if the plant stocks because of shocking to hard. At the moment the bud structure from the right plant looks better in my opinion; I take some bud shots tomorrow. Now I spent ~ 1h daily / plant with watering and pushing leafs etc.
