Added another 1800w LED (pulls like 250w from the wall) to the 1800w one we already have. Provides a better even spread of light so they aren't all reaching for the middle and they can grow upwards towards the light instead. Raised average temps by a few degrees with still below 80 so its good.
Ended up flooding the tent on accident when the water was left on and it drained our reservoir. The plants experienced some nutrient burn probably because of the 4 gallons of nutrient supplemented water they were flooded with. The time lapse will show the flood :P
Refilled the reservoir with 5.8 pH'd water with no nutrients to help the nute burn.
Did some defoliation and LST. Janice and Rachel were topped. Ended up accidentally snapping one of the lower branches on Monica and just propped it up and its healing well no issues. Have some great before and after pictures of some of the defoliation and growth on the plants.
With the defoliation tons of new bud sights are growing well since the light can penetrate better and the addition of the new light helps too.
The runt (Pheobe) is still.... runty. basically just gonna use the zkittlez to fill out some empty spaces that the sour grape kush doesn't fill. The sour grape kush is super bushy and is doing noticeably better.
@skidmarx,
oh awesome that actually helps a lot cause our watering is kinda one tank feeds all so that'll make it easier to treat specific ones showing the problem cause its just one plant of the 4 plants at the moment.
I've found 100% success with:
seeds 24o in R.O. h20 PH 5.8 then into wet paper towel inside zip lock freezer bag )not zipped)
Stood up vertically against a cardboard box in dark cupboard 23oC. 24 o later they have grown vertically all are cracked or thumb length. then pot in 1L pot all doing well.
@Homegrown420,
I got them from amazon LEDs typically don't pull what they are actually "rated" at and shouldn't be compared to other types of lights like florescent or any HID wattage.
If you search '1800w COB LED" you'll probably find the exact ones I used. I wouldn't trust any blurple lights. COBs are generally higher quality and have a full spectrum not just the red and blue
Some great info can be found here:

@TacoKart, no worries :) Lovely plants, so I was wondering. Just bought my first light (Viparspectra 600W) and am looking forward to seeing the end result(s). Mine has R&B + yellow, orange, IR, etc etc. Hope it works as well as the regular, lovely sun. Pitty I live in Belgium... with the famous 'UK weather'.... ;)
I have never checked "even dripping" I shall have a curious look at mine now. My plants seem to be okay though.
What about a bigger pump for you?
Grow well

@Puffer_Bill,
I didn't end up using a pump the reservoir was just above so it was gravity fed. I could of added one and solved the problem but by the time we had switched to just doing it manually there wasn't much time left so we just kept doing that :P We've cut em down now and its drying update on that next Monday probably :)
@Puffer_Bill, it was but we found that we didn't get enough water pressure for the lines to evenly drip without a pump so we forgoed the drip system and manually watered with the same tubing and the same reservoir
