*Has bounced back a lot more since previously mentioned transplanted and started on a regular feeding schedule. Really digging this NPK Raw line. Can see definite signs of its overall superiority too previously used base nutrients and micro/macro supplements. Think I may have actually been able to save the second one from far more yield loss than the first which I am sad to say I already see signs of flowering with. ๐ญ I had already expected this outcome after realizing that I was seriously underfeeding the seedlings with just the PAR450. Live and learn. So I set up my HPS400 to supplement and they work quite nicely together. GDP #2 Looks like I might be able to get her to branch out quite alot more before she starts to bloom.๐ต
This is why I keep a detailed grow journal aside from this here website. I find that on paper works better for me. Its really something I suggest any one of you should seriously consider starting as a habit if you are interested in long term growing. Especially if you care to get into genetics/breeding and the likes.
Two feedings and 4 waterings down and no signs yet of any trouble so I hope it remains this way.

*Moved them under an additional 400watts of beautiful food via HPS fixture sporting an HPS 400watt SunMax bulb.
*Transplanted them into large 5-gallon tall Buckets(first and final transplant).
Have shown definite signs of rebound from the stunted growth I experienced the first two weeks. I am going to roll with it as they look fairly healthy to me. Will undoubtedly pay in final yield down the road but its all about learning so let us see what happens, shall we?

PS - Started a newer feeding regime as I invested in a new product line that a friend suggested. Will still use a few AdvancedNutrients line to supplement.
You also might notice the little sproutling growing aside one of them in the pic. This was an accidental seed drop. I will be removing it shortly.

@OutForReal,
Oh yes! Am definitely making a small batch of butter and yes they were quite frosty indeed!
Thanks for stopping by and dropping some nice sentiments.

@XpectResistance,
Nice, I always wanted to do that experiment. If I were to make a bet I would say the LST one will yield better but will have smaller and more airy buds and the one left alone will yield less but will have bigger buds. Can't wait to see the results.
@grower_not_shower,
GDP #1, I will be LSTing quite a bit, this is the one I fimmed.
GDP#2, I will be leaving it completely alone. Aside from feeding and watering, I will not be doing anything special to this one. Just wanna grow it plain and simple. Kind of a little experiment to see the difference between the fimmed and LST'ed and this one that I do not do a damn thing too.
Thanks for the comment and like. As always any insight or suggestions are much appreciated. Can not and will not promise I will follow it but will definitely consider it depending on what it may be. grow and learn is what it is about for me.

@XpectResistance,
Nah, wattage declared on the blurple LEDs are bulshit. Your LED draws 200w so that's the real HPS equivalent. The only LEDs that declare real wattage are COB and QBs. QBs have so high PAR values they can replace double the wattage HPS, so 260w QBs can replace 500w HPS. You can get QBs from China quite cheap https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/2018-Newest-Samsung-561c-top-bin_60760624168.html?spm=a2700.galleryofferlist.normalList.24.129f572eQms9Ww. If I were you I would get that HPS on those plants as soon as possible and get more lights because those will need 300w each when in flower.
