Canopy Management & Defoliation
⢠Due to the increasing amount of leaf mass and a rise in humidity, airflow became a concern.
⢠To counter this, a second oscillating fan was added inside the tent to improve internal air circulation.
⢠Additionally, a heavy defoliation session was performed to:
⢠Reduce moisture buildup
⢠Increase airflow around bud sites
⢠Lower the risk of mold or mildew
⢠Improve light penetration to lower and mid-level branches
⢠The canopy now breathes much more freely, and the plants responded well to the clean-up.

Environment
⢠The main issue at the moment is high humidity due to dense foliage, which has now been addressed.
⢠Even with strong ventilation, the environment began showing conditions that could lead to powdery mildew (PM) if left unchecked.
⢠Itās not a confirmed outbreak yet, but the early signs and risk indicators are there.
