Yeah I have decided I am going to do some topping. If not, by the time my seedlings get to a decent height, I am gonna have plants that are way too tall and an uneven canopy.

Welcome by the way and thanks for the comments! I think I am going to go with something like you are suggesting.

Welcome to my grow! I have a 13,000 BTU A/C unit that allows me to run my room at whatever temps I want, within reason.

Thanks Cloudy. Just wait, I am gonna have some mini trees. My goal is to harvest 2-3 zones per plant, at least for the 5 bigger clones. So we will see!

awsome grow by the way. what do you do with the heat from the air conditioner? i have a 600w in a 3x3 and my temps are in the 90's even with it air cooled and vented through the ceiling with a 4" inline. Im plannin on getting a 6"inline going from 170 cfm to 440 cfm. oh ya and did you have to put in another breaker? my 5000 btu i got last night trips the circuit.

So I watered the plant with 1 and 1/8 tsp of Grow Big, 1 tablespoon Big Bloom, and 1 drop of superthrive, all per gallon. The 4 smaller clones got 12 oz of solution, while the larger got 14 oz. Last time I watered each got 18 oz and it took 5 days for them to dry out sufficiently. So I am cutting back their amounts, in hopes that I can water once per 3 days at this amount. We will see.

I have decided to top them. My question is, what do you all think about topping some of the side branches too?

Well, everything is looking good. I already have roots poking out of the side of the container, so I expect some rapid growth. In a couple weeks, I plan to transplant them all once again for the final time into some 3.5 gallon containers....perhaps even bigger, we will see. Thoughts?

And as for my a/c, it is a window unit so the heat just goes outside.

90f! Yikes! That's way too hot! I would for with CFL's until you can cool it properly! The reason my room is so cool is because my a/c is badass! I can supply as cool as 50f source air for my room, and no 1000 watt is going to create enough heat to combat that! Plus, I have a 340 cfm fan exhausting my light and a large, high power fan from walmart pushing that air away from my plants.

I would caution against this just for the reason of having Too many branches. If you remember I 'topped' some of my plants 10 times last grow. They branched beautifully, but then at harvest time I had like 200 branches to trim. I would have much prefered somehing closer to 30 or even 50.

Other than having a bunch of branches, it's a good idea to let them 'bush' out.
