SOIL Question about trimming

Well they definitely didn't seem to mind being clipped at all :laugh: showed some decent growth in just one day. Decided to do some LST since my hand punch for grommets, and coated wire came in. Also topped the Ice Cream Punch from back right for a 2nd time. I know it will slow it down some but that should give the others some time to catch up and I'm on no time constraints so they can veg as long as they need to.

Well, call me lazy, you won't be wrong. I just open a paper clip a bit and stab it thru the fiber where I need an anchor.
 
Thank you SoOrbudgal :) you would have won that bet. I went in to check on them this afternoon and the one I topped again was like "oh I'm sorry did you think id actually slow down?" lol Guess its a good problem to have.
 
Well my question about pruning branches seems to have turned into a bit of a log here lol but I just watered all of them with plain 6.6PH water. Earlier this morning I topped the 2 in front for a 2nd time and they seem to be carrying right along. The Ice Cream Punch in back right is getting a bit tall and starting to concern me for what it might look like after stretch later on, gonna keep a close eye on that one and try to keep its height down with some LST but I think it will cooperate just fine. Cookiedawg from back left had some issues early on and I didnt want to stress it out too much so it was never topped, it seems to be back in good health now though. Not sure if its too late to top that one or not, maybe ill just continue to let it grow more naturally and do some light LST. Overall, I am happy with all 4 of these girls here at 31 days from sprout. I know they are no where near as awesome as some of the other beautiful plants I've seen on here but, so far they are my most robust plants yet, my first 2 auto grows were so much smaller. Guess I'm a photoperiod grower now :p lmao

Just finished watering, and figured it was photoshoot time. They had some nutrients added in this watering. Unfortunately I had a bit of a mishap the other day and was trying to bend a lower branch on the front right cookiedawg I accidentally applied force too close to the base of the branch and broke it more than halfway through so rather than have her waste energy trying to repair a branch that wouldn't amount to much anyway the 3rd node was snipped, so she looks a little naked still but the new growth hasn't slowed down so I'm not worried, she'll be bushy and beautiful again in a week or so right? lmao :( The front left ice cream punch seems to be coming along nicely but both are being outpaced like crazy by the back right ice cream punch, she's going to be hard to contain while I wait for the front 2 to be ready for the switch. Guess ill just keep bending (oh so very gently and only where bendy enough from now on) the growth out instead of up for now. As for the back left cookiedawg, im not sure what to do about that one. Her branches are pretty slim and small even though the stem is quite thick, really doesn't seem like shell produce much but I also thought she'd be my best plant when they were all seedlings so I clearly don't know jack.

I don't change my nutes for that...I'm at close to 90%veg nutes and in my first week after Flipping. I might go to 25% flower nutes this weekend and 50% veg mix and weekend after just run with 50% flower nutes and adjust if getting deficiency or nute burn...climates pretty stable which makes everything easier to manage. It's all related
 
I didn't switch any nutes I just add them to the water every other watering at half the brand's recommended amount. Nutes are pretty much all veg. I plan on vegging at least 2 more weeks I think, maybe 3? I want to wait until I get more of a canopy from the front 2 in my tent so ill veg at least as long as that takes. Then switch to flowering nutes either the first week I see flowers forming after the flip or the week after.
 
I've had a close look at 2 of your plants, very healthy looking..try and keep your growth tips in full light, it's a constant struggle.
You will need at least double that room size if you plan on Flipping in a couple of weeks...looking good

:shock: this is the only space I have so should I flip sooner? the front 2 don't have much to them yet. I would be okay with finding space for the back left one somewhere else though if I had to. Its growth is pretty bizzare then that back right one can have more room
 
See how you go...I'm new to growing indoors and I keep running out of room and light..I may change strategy next grow but I like big plants with big colas..I really need a room twice the size then I'd be happier
