no worries at all bro, mine where vegged about 4 weeks in 4x4x4 cubes, vegged them to about 14-16" and the largest super critical is very close to 3' now. most of them are about 2.5' but all the bubba's where topped and supercropped to keep them short and dense as possible. the training seems to be working wonders.
man i got what seems to be 2 phenos, one stretched pretty bad (about 6" more than the rest) and the others are pretty short dense plants. so one out of 5 being stretchy i would say it wasnt bad for the most part. they pretty much doubled in size with no training or topping.
thanks nug, im always very happy to know i could help out, this really helps out allot, its kinda a pain in the ass but imo is the easiest way without a net. here is a photo of what happened when i cut the stings pretty funny. i like to drop the steaks in right away because the roots when grown in, really hold the steaks steady.
ether way these things are supposed to be monster yielders, also they are starting to smell like a skunky WW for sure, sweet and sour at the same time. cant wait to taste it
i have actually grown quite fond of it lately, but i have always preferred cloning for the ease and quick results.
yup i have had algae quite a few times and it has never caused any serious issues at all, like you said other than it eating the nutes its pretty harmless. they GB's will veg in the blocks then straight into the 2 gal buckets for flower it makes for very easy transplant and causes very little stress during the flip, pretty much just go straight to 12/12 without having to let them recoup.
