The plants got really bushy by now. I'm really happy with how they turned out by now.
The plant that is on the first picture in the front right grows faster than the other plants.
After a defoliation my roommate raised the other plants to be level with the highest plant and performed LST on the smallest plant to open up the canopy further.
Some of the lower pulled of leaves didn't look too good, but I don't think I need to act. The nutrients in the soil should be depleted soon, but they are still getting a small amount of nutrients every feed.
In 4-5 days I will be back home and lollipop the plants more radical. I will also put up a trellis net to perform a SCROG and flip the plants after they bounce back.
I am very curious about their stretch in bloom, because I expect it to be a lot but I do have limited space. In my 160cm tent. They are 30ish cm from the ground an about 30cm high. The light also needs a minimum distance of 30cm and I am having the ventilation at the top of the tent right now. I expect I have to move the ventilation outside soon.
So I have to flip the absolute latest if the plants reach 50cm, rather before that.
