No worries mate, those were about 5 weeks veg out of a party cup, they went 1/3/5gal and the 5gal up-pot was 5 days before the flip. Mine are kind of mutants though for F2's, the one you're running is an F2 back-crossed to my F1 male, that may have added a little vigour backOh Fudge Puppies I Just Might Be In Trouble With A 5 Week Veg
Kidding aside, I'm going with those flipping from 5700k to 3500k/90cri, 1st veg with those 5700k's...

You have the same kelvin veg & flower (right?) so your stretch should be minimal. She's a fat beatch though, quite the root ball going, should stack wellRight On I Was Thinking I Might Be In Trouble

Right, forgot about the 1750's mixed in there. Guess we'll find out soon enough what effect they have on the stretchAh Nope For The 1st 3 Weeks Of Veg It Was The 4000k Then At The Start Of Week 4 Of Veg I Turned The Meat Chips On 1/2 Power

No need for more than 4 plants. I've seen it done very well with just one.

I would do two plants in 5 gallon pots.. Less sometimes equals more...

I typically ran either 4x 3gal and 4x 5gal under a single LEC in the past, but in a larger space and yields were close but there's a lot of variables with strains and how long you veg them. Vegged for about 4-5 weeks out of a party cup 5gal's tend to fill 3.5x3.5' so in a 3x3 tent I think I'd stick to 4x 3gal vegged for 4 weeks or so.
You may want to try different methods and find one you like and fits into your schedule/preferences. For example large plants in 3gal tend to need watering every other day once they get into flowering. 5gal's will give you an extra day typically. Running smaller plants and containers you could do a SOG, I ran one run with 9x 2gal (vegged for 2 weeks) in a pheno hunt and some nice phenos that pulled nice weight. But SOG is a bit more work, the smaller containers and 9x 2gal filled 3.5x3.5' and some were being watered daily towards the end. I also tried 2x 7gal and pulled about the same weight as 4x 3gal with a hell of a lot less work.

Agreed, doing 2x well trained plants in 5 or 7gal can fill a 3x3' and pull some nice weight for sure. A lot less work doing less larger plants and sometimes better yields overall. It's about filling the footprint, including making use of whatever height you have available, not necessarily how many you can fit in.

Yeah I'll let it go until it's ready, just not seeing it going more than 3 weeks, seems to be maturing fast, not complaining though
Part of it is the environment, 10 min. of the 660 & 730nm initiators at 11.5/12.5 seem to be finishing everything faster. I'm good with the faster finishes as long as they have enough time to properly mature and this particular setup seems to have a nice balance. Cheers.
