Northern Lights - DWC - First Time

This week I've had the light at 100% and the plants are loving it. A little upset at myself for not turning it up sooner. But that's knowledge for next time. :) Starting to see pre-flowers and they are EVERYWHERE! Very excited! Plants are also looking much better since I stopped feeding FloraGro. The left plant is growing MUCH faster vertically than the right plant. This is most likely due to the fact that the right plant was topped a good number of times more than the left one. This was done because I damaged one of the main stems early on the left plant so stopped topping it's main 2 stems. But either way, I've put the right plant up on 2 styrofoam risers I made so that the canopy is even between the 2. Hopefully the left one doesn't keep stretching too much. Also did a heavy defoliation this week to expose as many bud sites as possible. See photos for before & after shots. First time doing this so hopefully it's ok. haha Always nervous cutting so much off.
