day 15 (december 19)
start of week 3
roots everywhere plant starts to take of now, the hydro is slightly bigger then the soil plant
day 17:
the hydro plant made a new set of leaves in just 2 days!
day 19:
i cut off the lowest leaves of both plants. i do this because on any autoflower these leaves produce a stem that wastes a lot of energy on small nugs.
day 20: hydro plant got topped (3nodes)
day 21: soil plant got topped (3nodes)
same strategy with the topping, i do this early (i could pinch them off with my fingers) to reduce the time to recover. the plants bounce back like they didnt feel it and with the lowest leaf and small tiny stems cut off, these plants will produce 6 main stems with nice big and dense buds instead of a huge christmass tree with more leaves than bud.
