ILGM Blue Dream Fem manifold

Week 2. Slowly bumped up the light schedule to 18 on. Noticing #3 and #4 are growing wider and taller than #1 and #2. Likely due to being in bigger pots. I am not seeing roots at the bottom of #1 and #2 so not ready to transfer to big pots, I have some 2.5 gal pots of used ocean forest soil/mushroom compost mix that has been sitting for about 2 weeks which I will transfer into once the roots show through the bottom. Although #3 is growing more rapidly than 1 and 2, it seems to be drowning in this big pot, you can notice the leaves are reaching up, the top inch of soil is dry but below that is very wet. I have not watered #3 and #4 at all this week while I watered #1 and #2 twice. Will wait a bit more for 3 and 4 to dry out a bit more to water. Added a fan blowing into the tent and a dehumidifier outside the tent to hopefully get 3 and 4 to dry out quicker. Will keep a close eye on 1 and 2 so they don't dry out. Hoping to do my first topping later this week after they hit 6 nodes. Will top at third node and defoliate below the third node to prep for manifolds.
