First grow!

Week 3 of flower update: So far left plant is still looking great. Right plant is doing "okay" but remains not as healthy as the left plant. I'm focusing the lighting strength on the healthier plant and ignoring the light burn on the right plant. PPFD for left plant main colas is around 900. Right plant is like 1200 on the cola that is burnt. The difference between topping is really apparent at this time but since at one time I wasn't even sure if the right plant would make it, I'm okay with losing some final yield considering at one point there may have been zero yield from the plant. I'm wondering if cutting it off would help the plant divert the energy to the rest of the plant or would that be too much stress? I'm still thinking it was the soil being overly hot when I started which caused the plant to be stunted enough to where I wasn't sure if it would survive being topped. Next grow I'm gonna have to start in solo cups with "colder" soil. Regardless, I'm ecstatic at how the plants are doing. I finally had some time to get in there and take some quick macro shots with my dslr. I'll try to take dslr camera shots every weekend and maybe update with cell phone pics throughout the week as I water, feed and take care of the plants. Shortly after I took these pics I did some pruning/defoliation/lollipopping to the left plant to quit wasting vital plant energy on low producer branches and leaves blocking bud sites. Hoping for more smooth sailing for the remaining weeks before harvest!
