DAY 8 Flower
One week passed and they all came out as female which is nice. The smallest was removed and at this time I am keeping 3. My biggest issue has been humidity. In my tent it is 10 points higher than it is outside the tent. Even with negative pressure and fans blowing inside I just couldn't get it to go down. The bushy plants were really holding it. The older leaves have seen some mold so going against my own wish, I did some defoliation (I wanted to wait until after stretch - day 21).
Now the humidity dropped quickly back down to about 50% and things are humming again. I know this will have stunted some growth but surprisingly the plants don't seem to mind much at all. On with the experimenting.
I have found on one of my plants an interesting thing. On my bottom left plant I was a bit heavy handed a few weeks ago and broke one of the shoots off where I had been topping. This meant that one side just had one node while the other had 2. The side with 1 has grown very strong with a thick stem while the side with 2 has remained quite thin and it hasn't reached the canopy height. I need to get a closeup picture of that (lights are off so tomorrow).
