First very important info is that all my plants are females! Pure awesomeness!
After the good news i went to the grow shop and got some flowering nutes. I did not find one with zero N. That's the best i could find and i searched many places.
It has 3.5 7 4.5
I hope this doesnt mean i'll get branches in my buds.
I will start applying this in 2 or 3 weeks from now. 8$ total cost.
I also got PH measuring strips but have no idea how to use it. Shall i test the runoff water?or put it on the water that accumulates when watering?
I also had the idea of using the lower leaves as new roots by adding soil to the pot. I would use a razor blade to make cutting and then close it with the gel thing to prevent air into it. Same technique as cloning. Would that work and did anyone try it?
And last thing is a question that if i should add the same type of soil, maybe it would stress the plants to use a different type?
I know that's lots of questions. Always thankful for your quality info.
Cheers
Why do you apply them flowering nutrients now? Your plants are vegging dude! Get some fertilizer high in Nitrogen and low in P-K . And your plants are not pre-flowering these hairs that you see occur in male and female its too early by now you will have to wait a bit longer , when your plants switch to flowering then you switch to flowering nutes not now .

I got this for future use. I'm thinking they will start flowering in around 3 weeks or so like mid-late june. I'm already using a veg fertilizer other than that in the pic.
Regarding pre-flowers, did i possibly mistaken them with pistils? Are you sure because they look white not green?
Thanks

I'm sure , your plants are not flowering , you are confusing stipules with flower pistils ,stipules occur both in male and female so it's not sure that you have all females. Only when you can clearly identify calyx + pistils (white hairs) then you can be sure it's a female plant it's something like this :

I bought 40L of soil and a flexible saw to be used for transplanting. Its a mix of peat moss, coco peat and some organic matter. PH between 5.5 and 6.5. With all micro and macro nutrients. So i'll take it easy with the feeding.
I scouted some places for bigger pots too. Future home will be 32L (8.5 us gal) white color (heat reflexion).
My plants are as tall as the soil depth so i'm thinking they would be root bound soon.

Transplant question:
Firstly i have attached a picture to show the size of the plants now.
I am currently watering every 4th day (yes.no.no.no.yes cycle). Is that considered very frequent and my plants needs repotting to the bigger size?
Secondly, i do not want my plants height to reach more than 1 meter (3.3 ft). I have already topped all plants for that purpose but it doesn't seem enough to stop vertical growth. Is it possible to LST at this stage? The main stem/branch is not flexible anymore. Any advice is welcomed.

Not a problem, i still actually own this place but i don't want to drive here a carry water and stuff for a small yield.
My definite option is transplant to ground in a private farm. I will be willing to drive there if i get 5+ oz from each plant.
The thing is that watering there will be limited to fridays and sunday as i can only visit on weekends.
I read that they will be ready for transplant when watering is needed almost everyday. And i can't transplant early so not to damage the root system.
So maybe i'll be transplanting late june/early july.
I hope they survive.
Thank u so much for the info, it greatly helped me in my decisions

Sorry to chime in late on this and to sound like a Debbie Downer...but this plan of harvesting early and/or leaving it to someone else to see it through just seems like the kiss of death to me. Forcing flowering early?? Moving flowering plants?? C'mon bro....it's not going to turn out well at all. Best wishes.

I'm not leaving it to anyone to look after it. I'm moving it to a private semi-mountainous farm to be planted in the ground. But that will be mid/end june when their roots fill the pots. The only disadvantage is that it is a weekly long drive to water them. Although we grow tomatoes/olives/peaches/apples/ect. there without the need for extra watering but with relatively low yields and this year was really dry.
Thank you and didi for warning me against forced early flowering.

You are right. In all cases i have to parent it for now and give it the best chances of survival.
