These plants are growing pretty fast, and they are stretching because I was too lazy to fix the light hangers so I could get them closer to the canopy. The plants have been topped to just above the 3rd node, with all shoots below the 3rd node removed and the lights will be lowered to about 18" off the canopy today. The two remaining branches have been staked down so I can start training these plants to grow low and wide. I'm really liking this growing method, and the soil, because it just seems to require so much less maintenance. The plants were only watered one time this week, so I could figure out how frequently I need to water them, so I will water them a little less next time to try to get the watering intervals a little closer. I think these will be ready to transplant into their final 10 gal pots by next weekend.
