Nirvana Aurora Indica

Week 8 and the start of week 1 of flower. The night before I switched the lights to 12/12 I defoliated both ladies removing most of the big lower fan leaves so light will penetrate all the way through the canopy. I only removed fan leaves and left the lower bud sites instead of lollipoping. My hope is that by doing this lower bud sites will receive a good amount of light and develop instead of being larf. By the end of the week Aurora 1 has grown like crazy and is incredibly busy again. Aurora 2 has been much slower to respond to the defoliating. Now that both ladies are maturing I'm beginning to think I have two different phenotypes. Aurora 1 seeming to be more of a hybrid with Aurora 2 showing more of the strains Afgan dominant traits. Aurora 1 is now getting 3 liters of tap water every 3 days. Aurora 2 is only needing about 2.5 liters.
