My 3rd grow issues and progress.ayoa

It's awesome to see that your plants are responding well after you dialed back the intensity, but honestly, 1000 PPFD at 18 inches as mentioned in image.png is still pushing it quite hard if they were already showing signs of light stress. You might want to keep a close eye on those top leaves for any further curling or bleaching since they are already in flower. Bending the tops was a solid move to manage the height and get more light to those lower sites, but just be careful with the defoliation; you want to make sure you're leaving enough fan leaves to power that bud production during this critical phase. If they start looking droopy again, try raising the light another couple of inches or dropping the percentage just a hair more until they fully stabilize. Happy Growing Growmie🌱
