Its def. possible I have read about people only changing their res once, at the veg/flwr switch. I was changing mine every week untill I was told to let it go 2 or 3 weeks. Hey, they look great! and they will tell you what they need. Your doing great! good luck!

A rule I kinda made up for rez changes is when you have replaced about 1/4 to 1/2 of the total volume of your rez with pure water then replenish it. That's adding fresh water as your plants use it during the week not water with nutrients. Early on my plants didn't drink that much but it didn't take long before I was adding 3 gallons a week easy. That's the best way to save money on nutes and keep salt build up out of the rez.

I did. This is the begining of week 3. They shot pistils right away. I'm not sure what the differenece would be if I had waited. I don't have the experience for a comparison.

i wish there was a way to tell what strain they are either now or at the end. i was gonna do a scrog but got ahead of myself and put them in the flower space cuz i was tired of watering by hand..next time tho im gonna veg in the small cabinet so i can clone and sex them. right now i dont know what they are lol

Thats a great rule! Good stuff.

Keep in mind they will continue to stretch on into flowering. The longer vegged the taller they will end up, or so ive heard. Never grown pot myself, but love to garden edibles. My buddy had some 15 cm clones that stretched during flowering to over a meter high. Depends on the strain i guess, one time he had northern lights and they stretched from like 15-20 cm. to over a meter and a half. Just consider the vertical height restriction of ur grow space.
