Ethos Mandarin Cookies V2 in a 2x2

The plants were moved to their final 3 gal pots after only 11 days in the 3.5” pots. One plant is looking healthy, the other has/had some major issues. I think that plant was more sensitive to the nutrient dense soil. After transplanting the plants had grown 1.5” in 2 days so I figured they were growing well enough for a top. They were at 7 and 8 nodes and were taken down to the 3rd node. I left the 2nd node growth on the plants for now. Once the plants get more foliage I’ll be stripping those 2nd nodes. The plan is to top twice for 4 main colas on each plant. This strain is supposed to stretch a lot so I’m hoping for nice tall colas
