FLOWERING
First flowering phenomena are visible in the tops of the plants.๐

GROWTH
The plants are still growing rapidly. To keep the size of the plants somewhat at the same height, I use the following techniques: ๐ท
1. Removal of the side branches (Defoliation)
-Small plants: I remove almost all side branches. In this way the small plants do not have to spend energy in the growth of side branches.
-Large Plants: I don't remove anything. The plants will put energy into the growth of side branches, so the plants will not grow too fast in height.
-Other plants: I remove the side branches in proportion to the size of the plants.
In the course of the following days, I gradually remove all low side branches!
2. Tying the branches (Low Stress Training)
-The smallest plants grow straight upwards.
-The largest plants are tempered in their growth, afterI have tied them to the plant sticks with the help of plastic plant binders.
On DAY 5 the plants vary in length between 23 and 41 cm
AIR HUMIDITY ๐จ
When the lights are on, it gets nice and warm in the growing room. To keep the humidity at the desired level, I have two 7.5 liter humidifiers working almost continuously. In less than 24 hours I have to refill them.
As long as the plants do not have real buds, I like high humidity so the plants to keep a low VPD.

WATER and NUTRITION ๐ฑ
Due to the high humidity, I don't have to give that much water. Every 3 days I give 1.25 liters of water per pot. I add 3 tablets of Easy Grow Booster to 10 liters of water. I divide this mixture between the 8 pots. This week I gave 2 x water.
