Did quite a bit more topping and defoliation on day 29. Always amazes me how quickly the plants bush out again. Leaving for 4 days and really drenched the girls. Expecting triple digit temps the next few days... Not too worried but I know they won't love it. I'll post more pics on my return.
Back after 4 days away and the plants are looking great. They've really put the growth back on and the 106 degree temps in the tent didn't seem to bother them much at all. About 10 days out from the switch to flower. Really enjoying these girls.
More topping and defoliation on day 34. I like to get a good look at how the plants are shaping up this way. I see 13-20 tops on each plant at this stage so I'm looking forward to a full canopy.
Day 35 brings week 5 to an end. Added a 2nd 1500w LED and removed the two 1000w LEDs. True watts in the tent is now 520 for 9 square feet, or 57watts per sq ft. I'm planning the flip to 12/12 in 7 days.
Also moved the pots around to even things out in the tent. The Zkittlez doesn't want to slow down.
