They look a bit stressed. I can see the vigor, but there's something going on in the soil. Don't freak out, but I think you may have fungus gnats. Have you noticed any fliers?
 
In the photos Black Sundae is in the last day in veg and Laughing Buddha is 3 days into bloom. Week 1 bloom targets are: temp 78, humidity 55 percent, PPFD 600, PPM 600 (450 veg/150 bloom) pH 6.4. Alternating dunk feeds during bloom. Here is a tutorial on dunk feeds:

They did look off until defoliation. The plants are likely small due to the lighting being too low. The PPFD was off by 100 because using the Photone app with the paper strip as the diffuser. This was figured out after getting the diffuser accessory. The leaves are heavier than the branches seem to be able to support earlier on and that's since improved. The fan leaves before defoliation were so big that they looked like they were sucking up all the nutrients too leaving less for the new growth. This is a theory. Does that seem right?
 
Black Sundae day 1 into bloom after lollipopping never having tried it before and hoping it didn't go too far

Did the lollipoping go too far with the tall one? Not having done it before it seems like too much was stripped off.IMG_9259.jpegIMG_9260.jpegIMG_9261.jpegIMG_9264.jpegIMG_9262.jpeg

It’s leaves are heavy and stems are tough. Leaves don’t pluck off. It seems like an aggressive plant

Dunks are alternating with top feeds. When to feed is based on weight. When weight drip below 15 lbs they get fed. When top fed, the target weight is 18lbs. Today they range 17-19.6 lbs. They got dunked 2 days ago. Kinda slow.

1. Without a big root system, the pots are much heavier post dunk. Need to weigh them post dunk next time. They sure felt heavier.
2. Removing a ton off the plant
3. Left the tent doors open too long while doing LST
4. the heater is in the tent but it doesn’t warm the cold tent floor

Wondering why the lights get dim after a couple days by around 50-75 PPFD without touching it

Ordered thermostats with an app alert and a better trellis than the one that came with the Mars bundle
