Impressions about plant
September 24, 2022: Day 32
BBA-0 is getting nice and thick in foliage. Flowers are stacking nicely.
BBA-1 is dense, short and squat. I expect her to shoot up this week. I'm hoping for 15"
BBA-2 is certainly perking up with the bottom feeding. She's small, but looks lovely.
I changed the reservoir to a 1 gallon jug. They don't take a lot in from it, so a 1 gal jug is more economic. Less waste.
Grow System Environment:
Temp: 77.3°
RH: 55.2
VPD: 1.41
Plant Weekly Height Update:
BBA-0: 12"
BBA-1 :8.5"
BBA-2: 5"
Update: All 3 ladies had their main fan leaves snipped off and it made a massive difference. BBA-1 was large enough for branch bending, but BBA-2 was too small and only got a top bend.
September 25, 2022: Day 33
Today I trimmed a couple inner leaves on BBA-0. Yesterday's defoliation had no effect on her. BBA-1 and BBA-2 both popped right back up after yesterday's training and defoliation. I pulled a couple more branches down on BBA-1 and ended up releasing BBA-2 she's just too small. Everything else looks good.

Rain for the next few days. So I'm having trouble keeping both the Grow System Environment and Seedling Center Environment stable.
September 26, 2022: Day 34
BBA-0 got a very selective snipping today. Just a few leaves that were covering other bud sites. She's a little stressed, but nothing bad.
BBA-1 got a half decent trimming. No stress whatsoever. It opened up quite a few bud sites.
BBA-2 also got a few leaves trimmed off to open space. She's a bit stressed but again, nothing crazy. Just a little droop.
These ladies are all growing quite strong. BBA -1 and BBA-2 are starting the flowering stretch.
BBA-0 is stacking pretty quickly. I wonder if this is an 8 or 9 week strain. In reality, she's only at day 34 from when she popped and is already on day 10 of flower.

The ladies are all looking good. Even BBA-2. She got a top bend today. Still has soft branches. It opened up a bit of the canopy. BBA-1 got a slight pull on her top bend. She's definitely nice and round with a flatter top. BBA-0 stacked up pretty well last night. She will be left alone for the rest of the grow unless I need to snip a leaf or two.
I also lifted both BBA-1 and BBA-2 to the canopy of BBA-0. Now the whole tent canopy is level.

I'm finding bottom feeding is really efficient. It keeps the top 2 inches or so dry and the rest around 35% moisture. This is for all 3 ladies. I really like the wicking setup I have for BBA-0. It seems to be working the best. Or well maybe all of them are working the same.
September 28, 2022: Day 36
The ladies are looking great! It seems as though BBA-2 is flowering faster than BBA-1. Honestly, I think it's better for BBA-1. She has more time to stretch and put on more weight. Oh well for BBA-2. Little baby never had a chance. Or something.
BBA-0 is stacking like crazy. The super short internodal spacing helped a whole lot. She looks fantastic.

BBA-0 had a few leaves removed. Just a couple lower nodes and some lower growth that won't make it. Didn't open up much, but uncovered a couple of buds but mostly to prevent overlapping. She's developing beautiful stacks.
BBA-1 had a little adjustment and I created a bottom feed wicking system. She has super thick foliage and frankly I have no idea where I should defoliate.
BBA-2 had 2 leaves snipped off. They were just too big and covered half the bud sites.

Last day of week 2. The ladies have all been watered and are happy.
BBA-0 has stopped stretching for the most part and bud production looks great!
BBA-1 looking great. Filling in quite nicely. Bud sites everywhere.
BBA-2 is a bit stressed from a light defoliation yesterday. She's bouncing back though
