use a tier system.
the canopy will stay even.
then as the plants get larger, you take the tier out from under them to make the canopy even again.

dont flower then reveg. take a clone and keep it in veg while you flower the mother. That clone can be your mother if you like the product of the plant from seed or you can just flower it if you dont want to kep it is a mother...

exactly, keeps the plants in optimum light range. shelves and 2x4 blocks

DubRules. Do you think it would be alright to position the larger flowering plants in the middle to be the base and the other plants i move to flower that i am trying to determine their sex while under 12/12 be raised up closer (with some kind of raisable base underneath the pots) to the light to even out the canopy? Would that work? I'm new to this whole SOG and tier system thing and want to keep the canopy at an even level.

You have the right idea there. I have shelves in my flowering room that take up very a little space and I can fit 24 1 gallon pots on them, and one more row in front for a total of 36. take a look at my grow in sig. I move them down the shelves so the canopys stay even.

Day 6 of flowering/vegetative

Here are some new pics and of somewhat better quality.

The plant thats in the back right stands 5 1/2 inches, the plant in the back left is 4 1/2 inches, and the plant in the front is just shy of 4 inches.

I'm currently using Oxygen Plus Liquid Plant Food (1-2-1) and Orchid Bloom Booster (11-35-15). I started with 1/2 concentration on the blooming fertilizer and am going by what the oxygen liquid food recommends. I water with the oxygen food mixed with distilled water every other water and use 1/2 concentration bloom fertilizer and oxygen liquid food combined every other water.

WonderBlunder. I've already diluted the bloom solution to about 1/8, despite how well the plants seemed to be taking it.

I've noticed that the stalks seem to be fairly weak, except the plant in the front that had a minor injury when it was just sprouting that seemed to build and strengthen the stalk since that time. I realized i didn't keep those 3 plants in veg long enough and as a result have to deal with a weaker root base system at the moment. Should i apply some stresst techiniques to help build up the stalks strength? Or should i leave it go and manage the plant as it grows with stakes and other forms of support?

Give your self a few more days for LST, your leaves should alwyas be moving on your plants to get those nice thick stems. Sometimes i pinch my stems and then that creates a big swell, helping deliver nutrient to the very top of the plant
