Your plants are looking very good. I did LST from the begining but I think I started to early. It required constant adjustment, and I had to be very careful because they were delicate. I think your plants would be about 2-3 feet at the end of flowering if you flipped now. It is hard to predict the stretch in between the nodes when introduced to HPS?
I prefer bushy plants, but I am trying to do some larger SOG type plants that are lollipopped, looking for colas. You grow is going very well.
I have pics throughout my process of when I started flowering and current. New pics today!

By the way, You can clone up until 2 weeks of flower. My rule of thumb is clone until the Pistols start packing up and then the window closes. I have heard you can clone 2.5 weeks into flower but it takes longer to root.
Whats your cloning process?

I soak rapid rooters in ph'd water for a couple hourse then start cutting. Place cuttings in ph'd water until I'm ready to plug them into rapid rooters. Place them in a dome with a heat mat under, and presto

More than I do, I haven't been balancing PH. Had great results. I love the humidity dome, and the rapid rooters. You can water them from the bottom which is sweet?

Yea def. Did you top/fim your wonder woman? I top/fimmed almost all my ak, but didnt on the rest of the strains. Not sure why. And when you clone, are you takin the 4 bottom shoots off?

nice plants man. they look nice. what do u think about mine? are they small for 1 week?or is it normal?

They look like they're struggling a little but, but the size looks fine. On the first page of my journal you can find my one week updates, compare them to your plants. I do recommend you transplanting into a medium you dont have to water twice a day. Realistically, you want to water every other day, or every third day depending on how much the plant is consuming, lighting, etc.

I want to transplant them to larger pots and i will give them another mix with less drainage, but i think it is to early, i am using peat pots, ppl say u should transplant when u see the roots coming trough drainage holes.
What do you think, how much should i wait?

Thank you.

Yes, thats generally correct. I would wait to avoid shocking your plants any further. I'd wait about a week, week and a half. Maybe two if need be but I doubt it. Just next time around use something different. Are you obtaining 10% runoff when watering your plants?

Try adding more water next time and see what it does. I just switched the lights to 12/12 on about 20, give or take. I will post pics tomorrow. I jut spent the last 3 hours cloning/watering/cleaning/preparing for 12/12. The rooms almost complete! I also added a Can Filter 9000 to the garden today. Gonna rip my bong and air the fuck out, peace niggas.

Hey I topped the shit out of my Wonder Woman and she bushed out like a motherfucker. I just tried fimming for the first time on this round and I didn't have a duplicate of the Wonder Woman. I am convinced Fimming is benifical and will probably do it on all my plants 2 weeks before flower.
Im not sure what you mean by taking the 4 bottom shoots off. I try and take the largest clones possible, and then trim all of the lower vegetation(where you stick it in to the cube)/ Generally my clones have 2 or 4 fan leaves before the top growth, and new growth and the rest is bear stem. If you need pics let me know.

When the roots max out the pot, and then you transplant to a bigger pot you will have some wonderful new root growth. If your plants are very small dont mess with your roots at all. On my bigger plants, when transplanting I massage the soil and the roots a little to get everything loosened up before dropping it in the pot.

I think I'm good, but I'll let you know if they dont root. I took 50 clones, filled a rapid rooter tray. Mainly, I removed the bottom 4 shots and fanleaves, lollipopping in a way i guess

Oh ok I see. You def are good. Have you done a couple grows before? You know what you are doing. I have done a few, but my current is the only one where I put money into it. 50 clones? Thats a lot. SOG? handpick clones out of the batch? I put some shelves around my flowering room for a SOG style. Didnt take up any floorspace, and should add another yield into the equation. Just an idea if you are interested.

Here's some quick pics I took before comin upstairs. And no wonder, this is my first grow that's gotten past seedling stage. Wouldnt adding shelves cut out light from the space under it, basically cancelling out the point of the shelves in the first place?
