Another good week, some good growth was caught up on and a lot of training was done. Technically these plants are older than 3 weeks but counting weeks is a formality anyways, I start counting usually 3 weeks from seed, 1 week to germinate and 2 weeks as a seedling getting established. Not the best pictures but tbh I just pull them from the thumbnails folder of my camera. If you want to see then really shine, sub to my YouTube.
Everyday I adjust the stakes to train outward. They did not need to get topped this week, however week 4 they will be raised to 16 tops. Unfortunately this week was difficult for me as I had to flip my sleep schedule to nights to accomodate my wife's work schedule and it messed up a lot of my plant management. For instance, I check my plants every morning to adjust stakes because the plants will stretch when lights come on and this can lead to stem snaps if you are unlucky. In this case, I was very unlucky and that is what happened. By the time I got to my tent it was 4PM and BC RBX #2 had already broken a main. The break point was dry when I got to it, and I tried to patch it but it was too late to recover. I think I will have 32 tops by the end of week 5, and will likely flip before week, but we will see!
This week they only received Ventana Nutrients, nothing else. CO2 levels have remained constant above 1000 PPM, mostly around 1200-1300 but this CO2 tank that uses citric acid and baking soda kinda sucks, not gonna lie. It needs to be refilled way too much.

@Crownlaura, They are nitrogen fixers that harbor beneficial bacteria within nodules that are attached to the roots. When you trim them, the nodules burst and release bacteria into the soil which is good for the microbiology.
Aside from they, they have shallow roots and will wilt before the main crop acting as a visual indicator of a dry pot.
