I agree that you should create a little distance b/t each plant…..you’re gonna need it. And raise the net just a bit. Once you flip that entire area is gonna be full and wall to wall. It may cause a lack of space for your fan and whatever else you have in the tent, but you’ll get so much more yield; and the chance of mold is mitigated. Plants like a little space and to not be crowded.
As for the defoliation, I would def open them up a bit and lollipop em. I don’t like to strip every single leaf below the net but eliminate those lower bud sites. I will leave a few of the larger fans as a skirt…..kind of a reservoir for nutrition and they can serve a gauge for certain issues.
 
thanks , for now i have spaced them a little and put a water proof / vapor barrier between them . i managed to support the netting better / pull it tight and i have stopped feeding daily to see if the 4 gallon fab pots will dry out a little faster as i was feeding slowly 3 times a day spaced 3 hours intervals untill runoff . the last time i fed ( yesterday) my input ec was 1.2 the run off that i got back was 0.6 , so i added more canna a n b to make the ec 1.4 then finished with a small watering ( without runoff ) now i know i can possibly run into all kinds of problems with this sense of a canopy all being so close . the new growth is not looking as healthy although still growing . my temp is at 26 c humidity 68 vpd 1.06 and co2 650ppm . i think my issue is not dialing in feed timing , strength and amount with canna coco , also not sure weather to add the cal mag in with the a and b . i may switch the canna nutrients out before flower for npk raw industries which i have had better results with previously as it has the yucca and kelp fúlvic acid etc ,

This is how I've been doing it for a few years now. 3g pots, always 4 plants, supercropped in veg, lollipopped before flip, with autofeed every 48hrs.
This is about 9 days into flip. Floranova line. Happy growin! :blsmoke:
