I was just unauthorized to open this thread from my messages. Had to come in from the front door. I didn't even say anything.
Hey everyone. The forum's prudishness is a remnant from when we were being bombarded with spam posts like "Sexy Womans In Your City". From this post on, you should be able to say "sexy" without a problem. "Womans" will still flag you though 😂

Ya know Dog ya made me think. That can be dangerous. Not for you though. I went back and reread Nebula's manifold instructions. I may have topped the lateral lines on the manifold too soon. She says top to the 3rd node when the plant has four sets of leaves. I made the cut when the growth tips for the 4th node were present and growing but not fully developed. More watching. But thank you for making me think. So back to living and learning cause my crystal ball shows more mainlining in my growing future.

Update: She seems to be recovered from the last topping. The main lateral branch got thick and woody really quick. I wasn't paying close enough attention. I did not have it secure enough to the stake. I think I would prefer it to be a little longer begore it began to curl up toward the light. All of the nodes are tied down. The wound created by the first topping is almost healed. The band-aid will go away soon. I removed one fan that was touching the dirt. Now it's veg for a while and see what happens. More later.

I have probably posted this update here on GWE before but you might want to check it out and see if it contains any useful information or tips for you

Manifold progressing well. What is the tape for? If it is just the topping, no need to do anything to it. Do you know about softening up the stems before you bend them? Give the stem a firm squeeze to give it a slight crushing injury. This will soften it up so it will not break. It will need to be supported after that. It will heal in several weeks and be stronger than it was.

Once you get your canopy nice and flat I'd think you'd have a 4x2 filled around day 45 with ONLY ONE PLANT, give or take, of veg then I'd flip. You have enough head room to let it shoot upwards on the stretch.
Keep your light going great guns to keep nice tight growth. Nice good breeze helps here too. Continue to LST every day or two, a little bit at a time.
Your numbers are pretty much spot on but I see you're struggling with a bit low humidity but that's ok, just keep temps a fraction lower also to even out VPD. Keep increasing PPFD so your maybe around the 40 to 45 DLI at the flip which will be about all she can take. Nutes maybe around 1.5 to 1.9 EC.
When topping I let the plant go 2 to 3 nodes above where I will cut but always cut just under the higher node. Even then I still split them trying to keep them flat.
Your girls look picture perfect! Fertigate often. Run off around 20% twice a week.
You're on target for a perfect grow. I'd be supplementing calmag every second watering now around 50% recommended for that stage.

Day 45 was a stab in the dark as to when to flip. In other words your tent will be full by then and no point going any longer with veg. So yes, in ref to that.
Last grow, veg, I did in a 4x2 I couldn't get them out of there into the flower room soon enough and ended up with a full tent growing into the light, still in veg. Was a jungle in there.

Update: She seems to be growing well. I've got her staked out as best as I can at the moment. Doing some leaf tucking to expose bud sites lower on the middle nodes. I think I can pick up four more buds rather easily.
The HLG 350 Rspec is 24" above the canopy at the 4th click on the dimmer dial. PPFD is 573 between the nodes on each end of the plant. The middle nodes are at 485.
Temps are hitting 80 F during lights on and 70 during the dark period. RH is 58-60%. I've held the PH at 5.9 for about a week. The EC is 1.4. I want to bump it up a little to about 1.7 but I'm seeing some burnt leaf tips. That bothers me but I won't be overly concerned. I'll raise it slowly. The Ace Seeds grow guide says the A5 likes strong nutrients throughout the grow cycle.
I'm using the autopot system with a 12 gallon reservoir changing out the nutrient solution every 3-4 days. If I was growing more than one plant on the system I would not be changing out the solution. Using CX Horticulture nutrients starting with 10L's of water adding base Coco A&B at 12ml per L with Growth Enhancer, Wilt Guard, and Regen-A-Root at 10ml, Bio Balance at 2ml and SLF-100 an enzymatic cleaner at 5ml all measured with a syringe.
Depending on how she grows, in another 10 - 14 days we'll probably flip to a flower light schedule.
More later.
