The containers they are in are a little big for them. Don't worry, just water near the plant, instead of around the outer edges of the containers. The reason smaller containers are better to start with, is because the roots are better able to reach the water. Next time start with a 1"sq or...

No, don't give anything more than what they need. They'll recover once you get them on track. Damaged leaves won't repair themselves, so watch the new growth up top to see how they're doing.

As a new grower, when you ignore experienced growers and do what you think works best, you're now learning what not do, before knowing what you should be doing.

A large percentage of light actually passes through the leaves, so even if you had some in the shade, they were still getting light. But hey, what do I know LOL!

You have to stop removing fan leaves you don't need to LoL! Seriously, your plants aren't big enough to block light. When I trim mine to allow more light, it's because several fans are stacked and crunched together. Light passes through, and around fans, and reflects off of surfaces, which...

I don't know when the actual starting point is, but I usually started counting when they had a couple pairs of nodes, not counting the sprouting leaves.

From what point did you start counting the weeks? They look more like 2 or 3 weeks. Mine at around week 2 Toped the main stalks. I cut between nodes 6 and 7, removing everything after node 6. These are mine around 3 weeks, after topping nodes 5 and 6, and after trimming. Around 4...

A common topping method is to top the main stalk first, then top the four top pairs of branches a week later, which will give you eight top colas. It might sound confusing, so if you're scratching your head, I'll get you to my thread where I go into detail, and have pics.

That's incorrect. White Widows, like all other strains, will at least double in size, but it won't triple, like Super Silver Haze. You want to think about flipping them soon. I'd say at 14" to 16". Height isn't what you want to be achieving, as much as topping to get several tops and...

I'm using my 600w next to my 1k :)

Four plants, same height...

Oh yeah, I'm sure that you knew. It was for the noobs :)

But it's important for noobs to know that anything trimmed will not grow back. So, no topping during flower.

Stretching lasts for a couple weeks. Unless you're doing a SCROG, you want to flip them when they around 16". Flowers start forming a few weeks in. Don't try letting your plants try to get the same height, because even the same strains can end up growing a little different from each other...

Not to be a critic, but your buds look fairly brown, kind of like bud rot. Maybe it's just the pic. Just not sure taking shortcuts on lights ever produces stellar results.

If you're planning on watering from the reservoir, you might run into issues with the lifespan of nutrients mixed in water. Most nutrients, from what I've read, are only good for up to a week.

Are your lights in a fixed position, or can you raise them up and down?

They double or triple in size, in all directions. Think of how a bush grows larger in all directions. I've got mine in a net, and spread out. It is absolutely okay for leaves to touch each other, and it's usually unavoidable in inside grows. What you want to watch for are fans sitting...

It's not about "having" to top them, it's about a method of growing that makes the most out of the limited power of indoor lights. Depending on the power, the real effective light will only go about 10" or 12" deep into the canopy top. If you have a single top, that height determines the...

Added my extra 600w hood. Makes a big difference on the footprint! It's probably going to be near the end of this grow before I get the QBs, so I'm just going to be using this setup till the end. Swapped out the existing duct for insulated. With the new duct in place, the temps barely...
