8/31/21 (day 23): Watered again today, getting ready for the first topping. The plants all have 5 nodes and are working on their 6th. Once all plants have a 6th node I will top them all down to the third node to begin the main-line/manifold. Almost training time! I've been slowly bringing the blurple lights down closer to the plants while also slowly turning up the white QB light with the dimmer knob. The blurples are set to veg only (white and blue) for now but I will set them to veg and flower (add red lights) probably next week to get the fullest light spectrum possible. Fingers crossed hoping they respond well to the main-lining...
9/3/21 (day 26): Topped to the third node and removed all growth tips below the third node. I'm keeping an extra set of fan leaves on them for the next few days to hopefully reduce some shock to the plants and help the two new main shoots grow out on each plant. In the next one or two days I'll be tying down the new shoots.
