Happy to help!

As always thank you for your input you are appreciated

[ellz]

I don't think you would need to. I looked at your photos and I see the 2 you are talking about and I think they would be okay in the back tall like that. If they were centered or close to the light then I would say yes but as they look now, I say let them grow. They look good!

[Daskahn]

Do you think I should "bend" the two in the back?

[ellz]

I have been using my lux meter to ensure I have good light on all of the areas of the plants so sometimes I angle the light hood slightly. If it gets too out of hand, I will likely bend my White Poison plants down more towards the back of the cabinet where there is extra room. I am definitely glad there is only two. That is much easier to manage than 3 or more! LOL. Best of luck with yours.

Looking very nice.. I'm interested to see how you battle uneven canopies lol I'm not sure I'm doing great.. atleast you don't have three different canopies lol

08:30PM: Checked on the plants and they are going strong. The left reservoir with only one plant was about 1.5 gallons low and the right was about 3 gallons low so I topped them both off with pHed, HydroGuard water. The White Poison is growing taller than the Rug Burn OG so my canopy is now uneven. For future grows, I would say that the White Poison has a maximum stretch, where as Rug Burn OG only has a medium stretch. Good info for later. The White Poison was getting pretty close to the light but I didn't raise the light because I wanted to see how much it would stretch the next day. Will raise it tomorrow.

06:15PM: Checked on the plants today and the White Poison canopy was only about an inch below the light! Yesterday it was about 4 inches below it! All of the plants have long pistils extending from the calyxes and multiple sites as well. The fan leaves are getting huge on the White Poison, some as large as my hand so I have been trying to tuck them under the other bud sites where I can. I have attached photos from yesterday and today, as well as closeups of each plant showing the pistils. Thanks for reading!

[ellz]

Pretty much, lol!

[Daskahn]

The waiting is the worst part.. I get so anxious.. I just wanna do something to help but there isn't anything you can.. just gotta sit back and watch the grass grow..

01:00AM: Decided to snap some close up photos of the girls and post them below. Also have a photo of all the plants as they sit now. Not much to update other than that...just patiently waiting! LOL.

[ellz]

Indeed it is alltatup!

[alltatup]

Isn't it lovely to see those pistils emerging...

[ellz]

I was curious about that myself Daskahn. I am going to keep an eye on the roots and make sure I don't run into any issues. This is a great reason why you should space your plants out as best as you can so at least I learned that much this grow. Next time I will only grow two plants at a time in a larger, single reservoir with space between them in case this happens again. I could have just pulled the whole thing up and out if not for the root issue!

[Daskahn]

Is it possible the plant the roots were untwined with took over the roots? Grafted?
They look very nice though

07:00PM: Checked on the plants today and they are looking great! I am now certain I have nothing but females left in the cabinet as all them have calyxes with pistils coming out! I had to add about 2.5 gallons to each reservoir today so I made up 5 gallons of pHed, HydroGuard. It turns out the cooling fan for the reservoir wasn't blowing so I checked the back and noticed it had come unplugged so I plugged it back in and it's working fine now. The reservoir temp was still only 74ºF with the fan not running so I imagine it will be fine. Not seeing any dead roots from the Rug Burn OG plant I removed so I will just keep watching the reservoir every couple of days. I had to move the light up another inch or so due to the growth of the plants. I was getting high lux readings in some spots, as high as 100k in one location so I raised it and now the readings are back down neark 80k in that spot. Below is a photo of both groups of plants today and a confirmation of each plant's sex. The arrow shows a calyx with a pistil coming out but some are hard to see. Thanks for reading!
