Could use some insight please.

Medicated Bonsai · Feb 24, 2020

3 weeks into flower and I feel like I over stretched the veg period. My plant's are only 1 foot away from the light and I can no longer raise the light any further. Also, my fan stopped running the other day so I only have the carbon filter to exchange air. I have a tiny fan at the bottom of the tent pointing up, between the two pots. This allows for some airflow within the canopy but not much. I decided to try a simple no-till recipe for this cycle and these girls are getting super bushy...I'm afraid that they'll herm if I pluck too many fan leaves.

The fan that recently broke should be a simple fix...i'll just buy a new one haha. I'm just worried about my plants being too close to the light, do you guys think they'll be ok? I feel like they're done stretching but I could be wrong.

Temp. : 74-79
RH : 58-63 (Humidity starts to drop drastically about 2-3 days after I water them, down to about 45-48
Light : HLG 320 V2
Nutrients : 1 feeding of Seaweed extract and fish/kelp fertilizer 5 weeks into veg and once more(of the same nutrients) during the second week of flower. Been feeding plain tap water for the most part.

Also, the angle I used for the second picture makes the light seem a lot further from the plants than they actually are. The third picture was to see if I could get a picture of the inner canopy but its too bushy to get a shot of the inside.

I do a hard trim the week before flip and again at 3 weeks. Never had any issues. Plants seem healthier.

Dang those girls look great man. I think I’ll give them a trim and see how it goes, thank you. Hopefully the lights don’t give me an issue later on, I’m not seeing any bleaching yet.

Throw a net on them and hold them down. You'll get a couple big handfuls of extra. Just water them before you start trying to bend them. An hour is usually good. Same for the trim job. Water first.

They look beautiful man. They do most of their stretching during the first 2-3 weeks, and when you train the plants like it looks like you did, they also don't stretch as much. So they're probably not going to stretch much more.

These lights are powerful, but the plants can adjust somewhat if it's gradual. And if it starts getting burnt, you can always turn the light down a bit.

I would do a light defoliation now for better airflow. I try to do it little by little during flower so I don't stress them out too much if I can help it.

Keep it up man.

Yea, I was worried that defoliating everything in one session would stress them out too much. I'm gonna do what you say and defoliate little by little. Perhaps this will, somewhat, prevent me from trimming away too much as well.

I think i've seen you helping people since the day I started an account here on RIT. Thank you for the insight.
