These pictures were taken at the end of the week after I had trimmed the lower growth. It wasn’t getting much light as the plants were too bushy. This also helped to create enough space to place the fan on the floor to help air circulation, keep air temps down and strength the branches. The nutrients have also been switch over to canna terra Flores as it’s now the flowering stage. To be cautious and not ruin my work I started off at half the recommended dose to see how they react. But so far so good As it was so crowded I moved the pot with 2 plants in to another grow. This left the 5 strongest plants and gave them a bit more space to breath and also make it easier to place the fan in an effective position. Buds have started to form on the upper growth and is slowly working its way down. This has led me to notice that the breaches are a bit weak and struggle even hold the weight of the small buds that are currently visible. Due to this I won’t be planning on move them around and taking them out of the grow anymore. The walls of the tent help keep them upright and as they are close together they also support each other. Although I would of preferred stronger branches I won’t think this will affect yield too badly. I should also mention the plants under the hps are still bushier than the ones under the led. As I don’t plan on rotating it should also be a good test to see what each plant yields based on what light they got the majority of their energy from. Also throughout the grow humidity has been quite high usually between 70% to 90%. I figured this would cause issues during flowering and wouldn’t be ideal for the plants. I added a passive dehumidifier (hanging wardrobe dehumidifier bag) to help solve this. Although I was sceptical at first I have really been proven wrong as it took humidity levels down to around 40% on average. This is better than I ever expected and exactly what I was aiming for at this stage. And just to mention by moving the fan to the floor it brought the temps that were slowly rising past 32°c down to 27 and managed to maintain this consistently throughout the day
