mainly just looking for some experienced advice on how they look so far. today is day 31 veg since I put them in soil from paper towel. took the last pictures 4 days ago and have repinned 2 times since.
the general info
so only 3 of my 5 pineapple chunk seeds from barney's farm popped so I decided to do some low stress training on them, I've been using cut up hangers to pin down branches, and then I bought some giant staple type pins for that ground fabric that prevents weeds from growing in flowerbeds and they ended up working much better. out of the 3 ladies I have one obvious beast that is growing much more vigorously than the other two, one seems more indica dom, one seems like sativa dom, guess I get to see all the chunk in one grow. with the faulty AC the temps regularly reached the 100 degree mark, it's under control now but there are some signs of heat stress. I only had a 1000 MH light, 2 box fans, 1 oscillating fan, some mylar emergency blankets, 1 horrible air conditioner that sporadically went out during the heat of the day and a 10 foot by 12 foot by 12 foot high shed. No nutes have been used yet, they have been transplanted 3 times into a bigger pots (1 gallon, 3 gallon, 5 gallon) with more ocean forest soil, might put them into 7 gal smart pots before I flower. yesterday I got a 125 watt supplemental CFL to use later for seedlings but I threw it up for some side light. threw in a little higher stress training on some branches just to bend them over the side of the bucket. this is my first attempt at any kind of plant training like this, always just let em grow before.
my first time taking pics of my ladies, sorry if I do it wrong, didn't realize the pics went better out of the light until too late lol.

I walled off a small portion of my total grow area to better control the temps

they were starting the 5th branchout when I started to pin them down

you can see the heat damage, I was worried for awhile but they all kept growing very aggressively despite the temps

Are my branches supposed to be growing so close together? the light is 2 feet over the canopy
September 29th
I removed some of these pins since the branches seemed to be very solid in some of the main bends

I ran out of spots to pin nodes on this side of the bucket so I decided to start pinching to soften, then bending the branches over, trying to use sparingly though as I don't want to stress my ladies too much
September 29th
took awhile but I learned to multitask the pins to hold many branches
September 29th
they are really getting very, very bushy

they are growing rapidly enough where I think I will flower in a week or two
