First Time Grower

They are really starting to grow and fast. They are completely healthy and resilient. I think I made a big mistake when trying my hand at topping a few weeks ago and cut off some nice bud sites. Some of the first branches to pop are now without any nodes. Interesting enough, the plants responded by growing all new nice and thick branches. I think I'm done messing with topping for this grow as I may have already hurt my final yield. I'm probably going to Veg for another month or until they are about 2 feet tall. I'm currently getting ready to put up a trellis net. Since I flushed with 2 gallons ph'd water about a week ago, I have increased the amount of water I'm giving them at one time. They seem to want 2 gallons per feeding to get runoff. Well I did that once with solution and they are now exploding in size. It takes about 3 days to start drying out. When I lift the pot it's still has some water weight but getting lite. I'm realizing that since these are such big pots, I have to give more water so the roots can spread out through the entire pot. I think prior, 1 gallon per feeding wasn't fully saturating the entire pot and leaving dry coco on the bottom. Humidity spikes now after I feed but goes down by the next morning. I have to replace my dehumidifier. It seems to be completely useless.
