Nice pic :-)

I didnt realize you didnt have an inline fan exhausting out the top.

If what you are doing works work it for sure. But the leaves look a bit stressed and i would adjust the air flow til i saw improvement and raising that light a couple inches to cover better will still work good. Its not power. Its footprint.

10 4 I'll do that tomorrow I'm in bed already. But I get what you mean thanks for the info. Yeah I need a fan on top I'm sure but buying things lil bit at a time im a poor Mexican. You think the fan set up is wrong also.?

Just keep good airflow ( like aqua suggested ) and your game and follow vpd if you can, if it’s lower cause if your region ( Generalize your allowance and make sure your in the ranges & you should be fine, google vpd if you don’t know what that is )

+
Once in flower ( tip)
Deleaf/defoliant is key (proper timing) : first day of flower : remove the bottom part of the plant “ google lollipoping plants ) or right before it, 2nd : 10-15th day of flower, 3rd deleaf : 21-25th day remove any fan leaf that is covering a bud site( just put your hand over your canopy and find those worthy energy leafs instead of removing all ( they are energy sources ), 4th is optional and that’s 4-6th week remove big leafs so your buds will get the source ( your not growing leafs ) deleaf all big fan leafs that cover and recheck the bottom for “ waste /pop corn” and remove it before it can waste anymore of your energy ( so many people let crap nodes take all the energy but even look at veggie farmers)

No if it works and the plants are happy its fine. Maybe add a little fan to circulate the air around the tent too if you can get one.

Heres that VPD link for some reason bit works to copy paste on my phone but not PC.

VPD (vapor pressure deficit)

Ok i was gonna sit down and write out a whole article but i have been lazy so instead instead I'm going to copy paste because im lazy. This is not my work so let start. You may find this very long but its worth the read. Some may want to skip ahead. I have added here and there to what i feel is...
www.thcfarmer.com

Keep the lights higher the plants will need to adjust. You still have light meter? Like 15k then increase 3-5k a day to catch back up and get up to about 35-40k. Keeping humidity up will help em. It's a transpiration thing but they will be fine after adjusting. That light is far more intense that what ya had

Ahhh ok if you have an Android there is a free app called "light meter" by "my mobile tools dev" it's not best practice but better than nothing. Hold the phone screen up at the top of the plants and set the light height so you get a reading of 15000. Then drop the light each day to increase about 3-5k untill you hit about 35-40k.
