They look pretty healthy and established... I'm sure they will bounce back pretty quick 
Randomly, I have that exact same honeywell fan lol, Im not using it in my grow currently, is more a back-up that I use elsewhere in the house.

Day 46
I have made the final selection for the finale, FMF#2 got axe. I thought I was going to have some more time but they are filling the space quick. I think they will be more comfortable as well with the added space. I could have done a better job topping last week, but they will recover. BOO was top dressed this week; 1tbsp veg, 1tbsp 444 and 4tbsp EWC. I untied all the branching and cleaned up the bottoms. I'm gonna let em stretch thier legs until transplant to 5 gal in 1 week. I thinned them out to expose more tops. If they could talk, they would be talking shit! I have ran them through the gauntlet! Lol but we gonna make it. Raised the light after leaf strip. 15k to 17k lux. Lowered default exhaust speed to 1, didn't care for the results back to level 2.

well that’s a sure way to find the 2 strongest ladies. I’m sure they’ll appreciate the extra space, especially for the stretch.How long until the switch to flower?

Based on the information I've received about these strains they don't stretch much. So I'm going to fill the tent then flip. If I were to guess based on current growth rate September 1st.

Thanks bro. Yeah I pulled everything off, just to let em breathe for a moment. Monday* we will be going into the final 5gal fabric pots. I was trying to get just a bit more vertical growth and no stress. Once I I get them in the new pots ill be tying them back down. Then flip once they fill up the space, i feel like I need some more vertical growth as well to not waste any potential. We will see.
In an early post, you mentioned that the RH was in the 50s. That's dry for veg. With a VPD of 1.3+, your plants are being forced to transpire a lot. A VPD of 1.3 is good for md-flower but it really high for veg.
Also, you said that the plants were at 22k lux. That's OK for seedling but what are your light levels/hours like? At this stage, you could feed them 50k and they'll probably thrive with more. They're a good size and very healthy-feed them well and you'll be really happy with the results.
And good to see that you're not talking about hacking off their leaves!

Thanks for information.
Actually I've lowered my intensity at this point so I'm averaging 17k across the tops. Currently running 18/6. They're very happy, I can't justify more intensity with my current rate of growth.
I'm getting dialed in. First run in this tent and using Dr Earth which I love. LOL yeah we gonna do some selective pruning and cutting back. Not all the leaves but be sure to tune back in week 2 or 3 of flower! Lmao!
BTW thanks for stopping by and dropping a comment!

Day 51
I was planning to wait until Monday to update, once we get into our final pots. However, the growth has been so rapid that I wanted to share my thoughts now. LST (Low Stress Training) is definitely an art form with a learning curve, but don’t give up. I know I should be thinning out some branches as the plants grow, but I'm unsure which ones to remove. I can't yet see far enough ahead to cut with confidence, so I'm focusing on thinning out some leaves while keeping the new shoots. This will improve with time. That’s precisely why I wanted to post an update—just to share my thoughts. Trellis netting would be very advantageous at this point, but I wanted to try this method first. Things may change depending on how the growth continues.
A vital lesson this week; you can untie any one/all branches but never release your initial trunk tie. You want to keep the pressure on that main stock. Also recheck any tie-downs so that it doesn't restrict your expanding trunk/limb. Booom! Let's go baby!

Some people say to thin out leaves and others say leave them all...that's the beauty of it, you get to learn what you like best 
They are filling out and looking pretty!

I'd only chop leafs off if they are unhealthy, or clearley not getting any light, or to improve airflow...
But don't listen to me, my current grow is a shit-show, hahah!
