This plant was topped 2 weeks ago when I got it as an 8” clone in a 2” pot and transplanted it into 5 gal plastic pots in FFOF SOIL. I’m used to growing outdoors and when I’ve pitched the new growth, the plants would just shoot up a bunch of colas. This time the plant split into to distinct stems. After these photos I pinched the new growth (arrows) on the two stems of each plant. What I’m wondering is whether I topped them correctly or not.
My light has to be really far from the plants. (38” veg and 26” flowering). My plants are 15” tall now and they can’t get much more that 36-44” high total anything more I’d have to dim the light and sacrifice light footprint. I’ve never had to control height before and grew the biggest plants I could outdoors. When do I switch the photo period to get the right size plants? I’ve heard to switch at half finished size. My math says the plants would have to be switched when they’re 18-20” tall. That seems really tiny. Are these plants developed enough to switch in 1-1.5 weeks? Im trying to do a straightforward grow for my first tent one so I’d like to avoid bending or more LST. Also do I switch the spectrum when I go 12/12 or wait till preflowers form.
