Both plants are looking great. The 'big' one was topped when week 3 started, the solo cup a few days later. I removed 'sucker' branches, but kept the leaves to focus growth toward the top. Nothing fancy for watering, just using RQS nutes. I will alternate between this, and water+calmag.
Also I tried to follow Kushman's advices on Super Cropping. (Massaging the stem, 'breaking' it to stimulate growth later on.) We'll see how it goes.
They both took a beating, (topping, defoliation, 'super cropping') so I think the plants will take a few days to recover. But they should grow faster and stronger on the long run. (At least I hope so.)
The big one will get her final pot next week. And I will probably start flowering week 6.
Still new to this but I'm quite proud of this two!
