What Now? Need Input To Proceed.

Hello Newbie here. First attempt at a photoperiod. I know that I've made numerous errors along the way, but how should I proceed at this point. Should I trim or leave it as is? Bend or try to tie down more of the wild stems/branches. Should more fan leaves be removed not sure if I know how to defoliate. or should I just let it go and see what happens. It is 16 weeks from sprouting(too long?). Went to 12/12 12 days ago. Flowering hairs began 8 days ago. From what I read when it stretches it will most likely be too tall for the tent. Over the last three days in morning RH in the tent is between 68 and 72 which I have been able to bring down to 48 to 54 RH. I had some leaf issues, not sure what they were but still on some leaves. Thanks for any and all comments, advice, criticism given.

if you flipped 12 days ago , the stretch is almost done. good job overall they look healthy just pay attention to the rh you want avoid long period of 60%+rh to avoid mildew. prune bottom half of the plant; all nodes,and preflower. keep the fan leaves , it will protect your plants from future defiency.the only time i would remove fan leave is to reduce plants transpiration( if you temps is very hot and dry).
 
Hello all Newbie here. This is my first attempt at a photoperiod. I have had quite a few missteps. But here is where I am after 16 weeks (too many?) from sprouting. At this point does it need to be trimmed or more of the stems/branches tied down or more fan leaves removed; not sure if I can pull off defoliation but will try at this point if it would be helpful. It also had some leaf issues that are still present on some leaves. It went to 12/12 12days ago., began showing flowering hairs 7 days ago. I did some training, topped once at node 6 (late), lst and accidental hst, It continues to grow more than I anticipated. The last three days the humidity in the mornings has been 62-74% but I have been able to get it down to 48-52%. From what I read over the next 6 weeks or so Iam in for a stretch that will most likely reach the top of the tent. I may be able to raise the light another 7-8 inches. So my question is, what is the the best path for a positive outcome from here. Thanks for any and all comments , opinions and criticisms.

They look a Lil droopy. Did you water right before taking pictures. If not they are sitting in water/mud with no oxygen left and smothering roots. What do you feed, at what strength, and how often? What's your medium?

They are small for that long of a veg period. Remove only whatt u need to slowly day by day for light to penetrate a Lil deeper and air to flow better. If you pick at the plant for more than 3 minutes a day your doing to much. Don't stress them any more

Yes, you are correct today was watering day so about 2 hours before. I allow the pot to get light, about every two to three days and 1 gallon in a 3 gallon pot. The feed is 1tsp Protekt, 1 tsp, maxibloom and 1/8 tsp seaweed supplement in hose end filtered tap water ph 6.2-6.4. The medium is Motherearths groundswell. Thanks for your help. Also I did not know that my original post posted so I posted again, Sorry but I am "New" to forums and posting as well.

Do you get run off with 1 gal of water? They look like they are about to start showing deficiency and are large for a 3 gal pot. I would water every morning to run off, don't increase your feed strength. Just feed more often. They will start smashing
 
Yes there is some run off maybe about a pint but I am guessing. I will try the more frequent watering. The 3 gal pot was to hopefully limit the size being the first time so thing might not get out of hand. Obviously he plant had other plans. Thanks again.
