2nd Mimosa X OrangePunch clones *refining strategy*

I am running into some issues regarding plant height and their distance to the lights. Due to the filter hanging inside the tent, the second light cannot be put at the same maximum height as the first one... I hope the stretch is finished soon, otherwise Ill have to see how to manage things accordingly. The climatic conditions in the grow space are not optimal. Although Im running really high light intensities and the lung room is steady at room temperature (21°C), I am not able to raise the Leaf-VPD to acceptable levels over 1 kPa. Running the dehumidifier somehow does not translate into lower room humidity, the device effectively heats up the whole room instead. That in turn lowers the relative air humidity, but not to an extent that seems to help the situation. I will sell the unit as I did not really use it due to operation noise and high electricity cost. Ill have a look at my IR leaf temperature sensor, maybe it is not properly arranged to capture leaf tissue or sth. @1250 PPFD 12/12 the issue should definitively not be too low of a VPD... Plants are looking fine though, maybe I should just stop helicoptering and accept the background weather conditions as a given. My last runs tended to be on the VPD-stress side of things which led me to plan lower light inrtensities for next run anyway. Maybe its the key to bigger buds... End of week 3: 6-7 tops crashed into the LED bars and dreid out completely to the point of now return...I cut off the very tops and supercropped the sht out of them to gain a little headroom. Since the first big defoliation step was planned for day 21/22 anyway, i decided to thin my ladies out quite heavily, For the next 3 weeks Ill limit my operations to incrementally steering pore water EC down from 4.8 right now to a planned 2.5 by the end of week 6/7 to allow for bulking of the fresh budsites.
