Unfortunately couldn't find a home for Chi, so she had to get tossed. I might actually continue to do this in future, disposing of her gave me a chance to examine the root status of the plants thus far, which had a pretty solid root system that wasn't anywhere near binding. Albeit that costs a seed, soil, and space but in this case it assured me the pots weren't WAYYY too small. There's room for the root system to double and even triple.
Reasons for culling were overcrowding in the tent and smell. Dear Buddha, the stench was awful and I discovered there was a leak in my carbon filter at the cap that let air sneak out, courtesy of the intense cat urine smell. While my grow doesn't have to be super secret, it can't be be stinking up the house and I would go as far as just culling all plants and going "well, that's was an interesting experience" and moving on. Leaf to leaf moisture caking was a growing concern. I've also acquired a gnat problem. Time to bring out the mini bug-zapper, luckily it doesn't look too bad if I deal with it now.
Plants are now 5 days into preflower and getting taller.
Using RQS LSR clips for training and that's been working out. Now that the tent is less crowded there's room.
First round of flower nutrients will be given tomorrow evening. Expecting water requirements to uptick considerably over this next week.
@James, added blister pack images to confirm the strain and lot #. I'm very satisfied with the performance of the plant as well as the performance of the plants I culled. Heavy pine stinking buds while it's still spewing yellow pistils.
