After giving the girls a week in their new pots to establish a decent root system it's time to start topping and pruning them.
You can see 2 pictures taken on the 5th of February right before I topped them, shortly before making this I did some more pruning and snapped the other 2 pictures above.
Also had to raise my light about 3 inches this week, decided to turn up the brightness from 50% to 75% they aren't stretching by any means as their upwards growth isn't really outpacing its outward growth, just seem to be making the most of their space.
Just sticking with straight water this week and quite frankly they've been doing rather well in terms of growth. I may start adding a few liquid nutes in the coming week as I'm hoping to switch to flower in about 2 weeks from now, I will of course be using very small amounts at first as I clearly used way too much last time.
The next couple weeks will be pretty interesting as I love watching plants respond to topping and pruning, so far I haven't ever encountered any problems in the past with doing it but I believe it's due to my "better to prune too little then too much" approach.
Also side note I just remembered while smoking a bowl before hitting save....
I'm going to be looking into filtering my intake, as currently I have a very basic dryer vent style intake which for some reason doesn't stop dust from getting sucked into my tent, I may need to spring for a carbon filter however I'm fairly sure that would constrict airflow to the point that I might need to add an intake fan....
Hey bro nice looking girls! I'm doing a similar project with the MarsHydro TSW2000, what distance and dimner power did you used the first 2 weeks in your seedlings?
