Started this round the end of march, she grew so fast it’s a gorilla bubble from tony green. I’m going to put her in a 10 gallon this weekend (or should I go bigger) and toss her out side this weekend. I’m in Michigan so you know the weather is wacko cause the plan was to put them out round the first of may but to many cold nights but I’m to the point I’m running out of room so everything goes ready or not. Anyway she’s a little over 2 feet I was going top her pinch off every node up and down the stems will that slow her down a little? And should I go at least 15 gallons instead of 10?783176F5-DEDE-4881-A8ED-2F65C0C37424.jpegED7E6FC4-6DC1-48BD-A825-BC02D51719A1.jpeg083214FB-2A5E-4F84-808A-ED52522A7684.jpeg

Nice Lady (s)

Is your end goal to put her outside?

If yes, what time of the year would you like to put her outside?

Based on the answers that would dictate potsize. If canopy space is an issue you can defoliate, bend, cut branches, whatever it takes. As long as she is in veg it’s of no consequence. She’ll recover and produce more canopy with time.

What’s the current pot size?

This weekend!! I’m booting her out this weekend,I have ten gal pot’s waiting for them just wandering if I should go 15 or 20 gallons
What’s the current size container?
What time of the year is flowering stage? You could go 10-15 and later in the season go to a 25-30?

What type of nutes are you feeding with?

I have questions before I have answers.
I like to look at the whole picture first.
Are they going outside next week because they’re ready? Or because you’re running out of space? Also, if they’re going outside how much veg time will they receive before flowering? What is their current container size? What type of nutes? Salts? Organics? Maybe a smaller container for now is better for management vs. a bigger pot later if vegging is going to be ongoing for 8+ weeks. All this matters when making decisions on what’s the best size pot for now. Maybe stay indoor longer if space isnt issue? So many possible answers. With some more info on the op’s situation could dictate a better answer over another.

Yeah shit sorry boot that ,no nutes she been in this 3 gallon for over a month now using only ocean forest/cocoa loco mix recharge once a week and kelp once every two weeks. Silica every soak no matter what, I usually top dress with dr. Earth tomato organic ferts after 3 weeks of new soil then with flower girl after flowers start to set in.
