HI guys.
Welcome to a general update on my plants in hydro. I'll start describing them individually in the following weeks when they get a bit older so I can start training them.
There are a few awesome news anyway. The preflowering started on most of the plants in hydro which was a bit unexpected to me because I thought It would take them to preflower at least one more week because they're still super small.
So I had to act super fast and decide to top'em or not. a few days earlier I was like: fuck it, I'll grow this season without any topping, but 2 days later I was like: Damn, I need to train the shit out of them just like I do every single time. I love to train plants in many different ways and most of the time I succeed spectacularly (imo :P). So I quickly decided to top all of them because the side branches were popping out fast enough to do the job.
So here they are. All plants are topped. To make their life easier (or to reduce the topping shock) I've exchanged both reservoirs with fresh and adjusted water with nutrients before the topping. I also started giving them Orca mycorrhizae and I've also installed a humidifier for this stage and I'll add a CO2 pad so I can turn the lights up a bit if they can handle it (if the excess of CO2 allows it).
I'm so happy about the P2000 lights from ViparSpectra, They're a dream to work with. The growth is getting insanely fast with every day and the adjustment knobs are crucial to this success (and make my live a lot easier because I don't have to constantly adjust the height of all 3 light)!
[EDIT]: A day after the chop, all I can say is that the plants look like the topping never happened. They are growing like crazy and it looks like the top didn't stunt them at all. I love it when the hydro setup + the whole environment in the tent is on point :D Happy plants, happy me :D
XOXO

@DEVS_GENETICS, thx mate. These are photographs from last week. Yesterday I've shot new ones and all I can tell is that things are going to look much better this week when I post another update on all the plants, so stay tuned :)
XOXO
