Big week! Couple things that happened:
-Upgraded my tent size to 36"x20"x62"
-Transplanted all plants to 1 gallon super roots air pots
-Lowered lights to 24" above plants
I used the two solo cup method for transplanting and the results were perfect. ZERO shock, they seem to be growing like they were never transplanted at all! They're really loving the extra space because the lights are no longer angled to fit inside the tent and the temperature is about 4 degrees lower on average (graphs in photos). I'm thinking it's because there is more even light distribution across the canopy.
Some plants are on node 5 while others are still on 3/4. I believe I should be able to begin the first top at node 3 by the end of this week (waiting for node 6). The plan is to main line all plants.
@Tonino, thanks! Praying at least two are girls... these are regular seeds that were gifted to me. Normally, I'd go for feminized seeds to make the all of the training worth it...
In any case, I'll be definitely cloning the females that come out of this!
@PussyWagon6969, listen, this was just my advice, only because they look a little distressed as is, however I have read from more experienced growers that you can do both at the same time. So I just want to impart their experience to you. So the only reason I suggested you wait is that they are under a little stress. Hope it works out either way. Also, I've read that you should wait to top til the 3rd or 4th node appears.
@BeefWellingtons, they're actually regular seeds that were gifted to me. So I planted a few more than normal just incase I get a few males or mess up a topping operation.
