First Timer DIY 2400w Flood and Drain

Thanks for the feedback Fellas. I was away for a few days and it seems like I finally got a little attention (and not to diminish anyone else's station but I'm more than happy to have you along for the ride Hellraizer)

I've got lots more pics to post and updates to make after a week of explosive growth.

The plants were Vegged for I believe (Don't have my log beside me) about 16 days before I cut down to just above the second true node. (or 3rd on some)

Uncle Buds Topping thread clearly states that letting the plants build a good root mass prior to topping helps the plant survive the trauma of topping. We're not on a tight time schedule with this grow and the 4 or 5 days of Veg growth I could have salvaged by cutting earlier wouldn't have allowed the roots to be as well built as they were. I knew I was going to be training hard so I wanted the best base possible.

I laid the main branches down and started training right away. They resemble little ribcages that keep needing spreading...

Agatha never got topped at all she started out with 3 main branches and a little clump of mutie branches (which I clipped off). I've just been training her and did a little topping on the lower nodes as I needed them to fill in space.

They are starting to resemble little seas of green in each of the tubs. Which I guess, is in essence exactly what I was trying to do.
Except I've been Vegging for 33 days or so and will continue to veg until they grow about 22" vertically now that I've got them trained to all four corners of the buckets.

Im curious...

Why haven't I seen anyone else attempt to train a plant like this?

Or if they have please point me to them...

Ill spend a couple hours workin on pics and hopefully get an update up tonight!

3 out of 4 is not bad at all, now you can have a light for each plant!

have you thought about using mixed spectrum for flowering? (2 HPS/ 1 MH)
