Got some solid growth again and in the middle of the week I defoliated both plants. The healthier plant has some nice preflowers. Still using velcro to keep the branches manageable.
Looks good, probably a little damp or just having trouble breathing so young in such a big pot, but I'm sure it's nothing big. Autos are a pain in that whole "dont transplant" manner.
Great things in your future! Followed!
