Both plants are vigorous, handling defoliation like it never happened. Lovely growth spurts

Looking great.
What light are you using and how much light do you feed them?

Using the spiderfarmer 320w, sized for 2x4 tent. its currently running at 60% gradually turning up. Currently feeding 7ml of GH Micro and 14ml of GH Bloom per gallon
Great light! Spider is doing a bang up job with some of their lights and they're also leading the pack with digital integration. If I was in the market for a light, that's the one I'd buy.
That hydro setup seems to be really popular. The 7 gallons size is a big improvement over the 5 gallon Home Depot bucket—move volume makes it more stable and I see "attention to detail" in the design.
60% — is there a reason why you're not following the manufacturer's recommendations (here)?
I'm asking because a lot of growers based their light levels on what I've come to refer to as "legacy" light levels in that those values are based on HPS lights. Growers using LED's can take advantage of higher light levels. Crop yield and quality increase as light levels increase so running LED's at HPS light levels is leaving money on the table.
I'm just watching how the leaves are reacting to the light. I'm sure it'll gradually reach 80% or more.
That's the only thing that matters — a light meter tells you how much light is falling on a plant but only the plant can tell you how much light it can use.
At 80% and 12" hang height (going from memory) I think that light will generate 900-1000. Each 50µmol works out to about 5% increase in yield.
Re how much how soon - cannabis' ability to process light matures by about day 35-40. In terms of increasing PPFD, assuming the grow is in good shape, from the perspective of the plant, there's no reason not to increase PPFD at 100 or 200µmol per day. My impression, from three cannabis sites over the past four years, is that the limiting factor in most grows is the grower.

The plants are at peak growth, growing noticeably everyday. Fan leaves are coming off and lower nodes have been pruned. By next week I expect all the major defoliation to be done and just going to prune a few leaf here and there.

Plants are now more focused on bud production, going to be selectively defoliate any unnecessary fan leaves. At this point the plant on the left needed a little box to match the height of the other. Because these are F1 Autos, I ended up with two different type of plants. We have one that's leaning to be more bushy and the other leaning to be more sativa like.

this will be a nice harvest, colas stacking everywhere.
