🌳 Week 13: Well, they're happy... almost too happy! The canopies are filling up again and getting incredibly dense down below.
Especially with the squatter, Indica-leaning strains, I'm honestly getting concerned that they might be too dense, and cause mold issues. We do not want that!
So, they all came out of the tent again and got their most aggressive cleanup yet. I took more bottom branches off and made more clones, and then also just cut out some other smaller branches, particularly ones that were growing back inward or in some cases even crossing over others.
The differences between the indicas and sativas are starting to become more apparent as the plants stretch, and some of the sativas are almost 16" tall. I actually ended up topping a couple of the very tallest branches before they stretched any further, again in an effort to keep the top of the canopy as level as possible.
I'm also experimenting with using some wire rings as inserts to spread out the top of the canopy, and pretty pleased with the initial results.
