Lights 200+60W The flowers are getting stretchy in sativa way. This weak I gave the proper defoliation to lefside plants. Maybe it's not that visible from pictures, but really, all big fan leaves are off. Maybe I could go even harder, but I'm scared. reading some articles about defoliation, I'm probably too late to change something signifficant in this stage. My observation is that left side which is defoliated, is growing in standard way. I can't say if better or worse, but nothing bad had happened. The plants didn't stop growing. But there are some positives, definitely there is much more light and I believe at the end of the day there will be better crop from lower part of plants and there is better air flow and it helps regulate humidity. I'm really curious about final result. This week I was very pleased to see that front left plant, which was quite retarded, has caught up the other big plants and now is almost the tallest one! On the other hand the right-front one is still retarded and is the weakest plant. Additionally I've decided to keep the right side with bushy leaves, so there is lot of shade for the buds of this plant. I'm hesitating now. I can resign on experiment and defoliate even right side to allow more light for the weakest plant.
