Opinions requested

1: Shall I continue to use my compact camera for the main pics or switch back to phone?

2: Should I consider topping, and if so, when?
 
With thanks to various threads here, I realised that due to the height of the Bucket, I needed to top her.

I will post pictures from both cameras for now. Please let me know which look better, and I will then only post pictures from it.

Wow. Can't believe the change after only 2 days since topping. I'm considering making this the last change of LST position for the central stem, and switching to LST of the new branches.

I look forward to hearing your opinions on which camera is best, and any advice on anything else is greatly appreciated.

I also attempted tucking some fan leaves for the sites that I cannot tie yet.

Day 33

The tucked fan leaves managed to untuck themselves. However, she is tall enough now for the side lighting, so I have turned it on for 12 hours per day.
The lighting schedule is now:
6am to 9am (3 hours) - Top light only
9am to 9pm (12 hours) - Top and side lights
9pm to 12 am (3 hours) - Top light only

Tomorrow she will be getting her delayed 2nd BioTab and special watering (500ml filtered water with 20ml Orgatrex and 1g Bactrex). Hopefully I remember where I put the 1st BioTab, so I can ensure correct placement of the 2nd one. Next grow, I will make a note of its placement as my memory is f<BLEEP>ked.
 
Day 35

The battle between cameras is over. Cam A (phone) hates the side lighting and strobes like crazy, and refuses to use the flash (despite being set to always flash), so Cam B it is.

Does anyone have any ideas what might be causing this?

Day 38

Grow 01 Day 38.JPG

She's getting quite tall....
Grow 01 Day 38a.JPG

The spotting is gradually getting worse
Grow 01 Day 38b.JPG


Day 39

She's almost touching the top light, and I can't raise it. Looks like the spotting is light burn. Also, due to the heatwave we have at the moment, the side lights are causing temperatures inside the bucket to get a bit uncontrollable.
Solutions : Side lights turned off and 50x50x100cm grow tent (way taller than the bucket) ordered.

Whilst awaiting the grow tent and SCROG net, I'm going to pull those top cola sites away from the light

Day 40 part 2

Grow tent assembled and plant in place.
Light is about 40 cm/15in from the canopy. It is a bit squint due to the cables being too long, and having to wind them round a pole.
Will get some ratchet type ropes soon.
Also going to get a mini tower fan as the RAM clip on fan turned out to be a load of rubbish. RAM claimed it had 2 speeds, but both speeds were the same (tested with an Anemometer) and very loud.
I tried to hang the Carbon filter inside (so I could make use of the pre-filter cover) but it just interfered with the light.
