Plant 1 is in its final container, I don't want it to get very big. I topped it pretty early, chopped the 3rd node off. 3rd node! I should of waited chopped the 4th off probably.. I think it's really stunted because it got burnt so young & I topped it so soon, I was told it was ballsy. haha. But it's doing good now though since its in the new pot and getting more light.

Plant #2 is 8 days from breaking ground I will probably top after 3rd node. I'll transplant it tomorrow to its final pot. It hasn't had any stress compared to plant 1, no burn, no topping yet, it's pretty short anyway. I started it in the yogurt cup & started plant 1 in a smaller cup, then transplanted it to the yogurt cup & finally to the one its in now.

What size is your final container and why are you topping so early? I guess there's nothing wrong with it, but I would want the plants to be strong before I started stressing them.

I totally agree with cloudz, let her get a bit bigger before topping, you dont want too much stress at such a fragile stage in herlife, imo

Final containers are only like 8 inches, my space is pretty limited.. I'm aiming for pretty small plants (1-2ft). In retrospect though I should of topped it later, but its doing good now and the only extra stress i plan to add is LST.
Transplanted plant#2 today to an 8 inch pot and it was just starting to get rootbound, roots at the bottom but not climbing the side.
Plant #2 will definitely be the stronger plant due to reduced stress and more light from a younger age.
I know plant #1 is highly stressed but like I said before, I'm going to keep it going in hopes of a female and incase plant#2 is a male.

First feeding of compost tea is coming up in 2 days. i'm gonna mix the tea with water though and keep it light.
This should be good for my plants right?

my ethernet cable is broken so no internet on my pc currently, I'm using the living room pc. Not sure how much i'll be bringing updates for awhile.
plant #2 is topped but i kinda fimmed i think i missed.

Understandable. FIM has its name for a reason!
And the pictures are great. I love to see the plant for myself.
That sucks about the internet.
Also, the plants look great! Nice, green and reaching toward the sun.
