1st grow week 5 flower

So it’s my first grow and wondering if these plants are doing fine, been giving them the ez grow solution from seed, seeing some pistols turn color and slowed growth with fewer leafs on the fan got me thinking if it’s normal, and how much longer I should wait before the chop. Lol I’m a green horn trying to get my green thumbs
A grow light that says it consumes 239 watts. My water temps in buckets said 57 degrees earlier. And I feel that since I live in Alaska without heated floors that unavoidable, been keeping my ph between 5.8-6.4 dump out buckets and wash every week or 5 days. As I think needed.and bring ec to 1200 or 1300 and ph to 6.1-6.2 but notice it does drop to 5.7 and lower some days I check without adding more water or ph and solution.
No hydro guard or whatever’s, no silica blast, just that ez grow solution and ph water. Test for ec and ph every few days, or when plant displays odd symptoms.
Tallest cola gets 1200 ppfd from the Korona app in the apple App Store, the other s average about 600-800 , then the outliers are 150 -300

Haven’t topped my plant but super cropped all viable branches at the time before flower and a few a bit after. So any thoughts are welcome

Before I forget there’s the defoliation issue, I feel that the lower growth may be sapping the ones in lights growth, but I’m afraid as I hear it causes stress and this is bag seed, so I’m afraid stress equals banana seeds city

If u defoliate in stages u will be less likely to stress your plant.

Cool next question should I snip the lower Growth? Like this getting no light, and shizz I’m just scared of stress as I’ve read it causes Hermies s and I’m not sure how this seed was seeded XD

Also does anybody else have expertgrowing in colder hydro temps?

I think I got lucky on the bagseed. Looks like good genetics to me. And personally I do remove lower bud sites to promote more flowering where the light is more intense
