2 weeks into flower, looking small?

So hopefully I don’t forget any background info here:
Seeds planted 3/16
Switched to 12/12 5/11
Both plants were in soil, in 3 gal pots, until 4 days ago when I transplanted both into 10 gal fabric pots.
Both started off in FF HF soil, when transplanting 1 went into a pot of FF OF and the other into HF with HF soil conditioner.
Using a Spider Farmer SF1000. Temps with lights on are around 78~80F & RH>55%. Lights off 74F 55~58%.
Have been going with Water, Water, Feed-feeding 1tsp of Tiger bloom per gal.
They used to get 3/4 gal each per feeding, and so far have only given 1 gal each since transplanting (feeding tomorrow). Planning to give about 2 gal each this time.
So...how do they look 2 weeks into flower, do they look small for their age?
Should I up my nutrients when feeding, should I defoliate some?

I would look into Beastie Bloomz, Cha Ching and a carb feed like Bud Candy. I use all 3 and they make the buds explode, bud candy will allow them to produce more resin and is supposed to supply a sweeter taste and smoother smoke

Man I'm 15 days into flower and just showing pistils. So either just strain related or I'm doing something wrong.. lol

Most likely strain related.. I’m running Blueberry from seedsman and Wedding Cake from Barney Farms in the same tent and the Wedding Cake is producing much quicker and robustly. The blueberry was a freebie anyways so I’m glad to see the Wedding Cake is “taking the cake”

Yeah I was looking at em today and was thinking of trying to tie some branches down.
This is my first real decent grow, I topped em once, but read topping and LST can be tricky for a noob so I just let it go, did a little pruning along the way but nothing major

I’m not familiar with those nutes. I have the FF trio, would adding big bloom to my tiger bloom be sufficient?
I’ve been trying to not overdo it with nutes

Big bloom doesn’t really have much in it. Beastie blooms is loading with Phos and Potas which they really need during flowering. Cha Ching is used during the final 3-4 weeks of flower and has a little less phos but more potassium than beastie which helps them finish off sweet and fat . A lot of people get away with just the trio but for best results I’d at least get one of those solubles (beastie or cha Ching). As far as the bud candy that is totally optional and what it does is feed the soil microbes and produces carbohydrates (sugars) for the buds and make them grow fat with resin and sweeter. It’s really up to you, just my $.2 . Like I said though, many have had success with just the trio !

So I just ordered the 3 pack (open sesame, beastie blooms, & cha-Ching)
Do you just use the suggested feeding on the bottle?
I’ve always gone lighter than what FF suggests, but haven’t used these to know how they run

Pipe cleaners work well, twist ties, string, wire etc.

You have nice healthy plants just finished their stretch, you can still supercrop those branches. I do not think you will need those salts. Can be wrong here but I would stick with base flowering formula till the end. Good luck!

If you crush and roll the branches to break phelome up they bend easier and stay bent easier.
