First Time Grower

Started a new job this week and it has been very taxing, I have a Northern Lihjt Auto that has been growing differently since spouting, it is 2 weeks behind its sister and I am about to chop it so it does not waste the lights, I took some pictures of the buds from the plant in the back right and them still need a bit of time but have decided to wait for the nutes for that plant and just keep watering with PH 5.8 H2O and let it start consuming all the nutrients from the plant and leaves. The other plants are moving along just fine - did a canopy cleaning on 1 NL and 1 WW Auto this week (soil grow) very impressed with the low maintenance of dry amendments and compost tea can achieve. Took a chance with one of my White Widow Ladies and did a hard defoliation on her, I was concerned about how much it would stress her out as well as not doing it and having 85% of the buds not exposed to intense light during this phase, with 4 weeks left or so lets see what happens (Plant Noted In Picture) will do a progression shot in few days.
