Week 5 from seed ' Defoliated my dreams

Hello rollitiup

Just defolisted my 2 bluedream babys
today ' I really want these girls to fill my scrog net compleatly.

I had a Bb cheese in the same setup a while back and noticed that I should of defoliated and veg longer to fill the net/screen ' pulled 4.4oz dry under old mars led in a 2x2 with little to no problems.

I was amazed that a 1foot plant could yeild the same as a 3 foot plant if trained in the Wright ways!!

my girls are coming up to 6wks from seed ' first 2wks--seedling stage then I'm about 4wks veg , I plan on letting them go posibly 10wks total effort I flip to 12/12.

Topping/defoliating/bending/tighing-down.. (supercropping!) you must wait a extended period before the flip ' to let bud development and overall health of the plant return.

Day 40 from seed

Topped about 2x each in several spots around each plant&defoliated/bending for a flat and open canopy?
Let's be real ' these mars lights penetration is shit?? got to keep the lights 16" l away in veg to promote good growth lower down the plant.
Very bushy under the girls skirts lol
If I would leave them like this ' the screen would be pointless because no light would be getting through to the middle of the plant.
this was my firs effort at defoliating and didn't go to wild and stress the girls' I waterd them 2days before and I will feed then 2days after the defoliating and also a little topping.

Any advice! about how much this bluedream will stretch would be great? she does look "indica dominate and not sativa' like true bluedream should be?

I planted 3x blue dream from the same seed pack 2 are in the tent and the other one I'm keeping for a mother under 125 watt cfl 6500k.
I think she might be closer to sativa because she has skinner leaves and she has a lighter leaf colour than my other 2??
Here is a picture of my bonsai mummy in the making. she is the same age as the other 2 ' at 4days from seed

Nice Work! I like the training and time that went into your plants. The new LED's can direct beams down from 30 feet up so progress with penetration is on the way for early next year, and made in the USA.....YES!

Thank you for you kind words.
I'm a new grower on a budget and of limited space ' now I have a baby boy in the house so my grows are confined to a back cubourd in a 2x2 tent. I'm happy I can still grow a few well trained plants in this setup, I stated in a 4x4 under 600 hps 'so I'm eager" now I'm using LED to try and match HPS gram for gram in the end?
Future projects will include ' "yes" a CXB cob build with all the trimmings' far reds/royal blues/uv/uvb. I want to build a light that is multi-adjustable 'in terms of not only hanging distance ' but induvidual movable cobs that can be moved to cover over grown stretchy areas of the grow "if needs must?
Anyway, you say 30ft penetration on LED units? What ones are you referring to?

I found a company that specializes in industrial applications and the units are pretty badass, I will be introducing them for my company in a few months, just working out the details and all at the moment. Best of all they are completely USA made so no overseas shipping to import the units.

Update on my bluedream babies , I'm watering 1.5 litre each every 3rd day and thay seem to be liking it a lot however , the past 2 days since u water the girls ' I have noticed the leaves are dry to the touch?
My temp's are between 24c & 27c lights on 19c & 22c lights off

Humidity is in the 40 constantly

Feeding veg nutes in a decline in dose going in to week 2 flower in couple days.

I have a small oscilating fan just ubove the canopy but not a fan below?

Do I have to much light ' with 750watt led true draw 360ish ?

Leaves are eery green looking but a little limp and dry to the touch? Also the steams are a little stiffer than usual but I think this is normal going twin to flower?

Day 54 from seed Day 9 flower

Fist picture is at lights off
Second picture is 2 hours after lights on

Any advice on my plants would be great?
