Totally cool if you post suggestions on how to improve but I can't really help anyone as I am still learning lol I'm attempting a one picture per day all the way through. Can't wait to see yalls responses!!

Kinda jumbled for light purposes. They'll be in set spots once we move to flowing room just insuring these babies are super strong before we hit them with the 600w MH

Cotton candy on the right is making moves! If anyone's paying attention would this be a good time to think about topping?

Yep :)

I think there are 2 approaches to topping:
  • one is to top early while the shoots are still small - that is, to pinch off the top sprout that would make the 5th tier of leaves as soon as it starts growing.
  • Another is to let the plants grow up more nodes and then to cut them back to tier 4 or so.
Personally I prefer the first way, as there is less energy wasted on growth that will then be removed anyways.

So yes, for the first approach, now's the time :D

I don't know the strains you're growing, but it looks like the CC has more of a hang towards sativa than the others -- have you given thought to how you will handle possible differences in height between strains?

CC is cotton candy the names on the pots are curtesy of the Roomate haha they're all indica dominant technically but I heard cotton candy stretches. I'm going to pinch the top node in a week or so once we move to 600w MH. And as for the canopy heights not at all! Either topping the cotton candy works or going to be using old DVDs to raise the pots up to create on canopy I guess! Lol

Thanks for checking it out!
