Here’s a few of my girls last night after I turned on both sides of the light. Looks like Smurfette has outgrown Party Girl!

As I was turning them and looking at the way they are growing I noticed these little bud spots and fans below some higher ones. Just wondering what will become of these!?
All 3 pics are of the same area on the plant but there are a few of these areas. Is that growth that will be removed at some point? Should I do it now? Should I remove the large fans above it? Or should I just leave her alone for now!? Lol. Probably the latter! Getting excited leading up to the flip and I just want them right so I can get a decent yield of stanky buds!!

Once I have what I call my main bud sites established on the top of the canopy the lower stuff gets pinched off.
I agree I agree I agree!Sorry I didn't respond Magoo! I was out of town this weekend and wasn't on the forums either. Needed a little vacation.
Anyways, I think you are doing everything right so far. These won't get very tall with this training method. The idea is to keep them low and even, not tall like most plants you will see. I've quadlined a couple and they ended up tall but I think those were more rare as that seems to be more like 1 in every 8 plants I do it with. I'd also leave the lights at 24". You can manipulate the height of the lights to effect how much a plant grows vertically but 24" is really the sweet spot. Maybe after stretch is over I'd drop them more to 18" and just see how the plants react but that is still a few weeks away for you.
The defoliation looked pretty good. I would use both the grow and bloom switch for sure now. Get the plants used to it a bit and you can gauge what the temp and humidity will be with them at full power. The other thing I read about you getting nervous because you are taking off the leaves and there will be less nutes to store in the plant. Well, when you have really healthy plants you shouldn't worry about that as much. That means what you are giving them is exactly what they need and the leaves are almost like a safety barrier. If your plants are always healthy though it won't hurt a thing, and yours have been the whole way.
I've found the ideal veg time for me is between 6-7 weeks. With the way yours look I bet you'll fall somewhere in that range as well, likely about a week to 10 days from today. At this point you should probably just let them grow vertically and see where they are in about a week. If the 4 main shoots are too tall you can always pull them a bit more horizontal to keep it even but they will kind of start slowing down a bit while the middle stuff explodes so it all should end up pretty even right before flip.
I'm not saying anything new really that anyone else here has said. It's nice that other people have learned the quadlining ways and can help when I'm not around. It makes me really happy that my methods can be passed on and that people are answering question almost 100% verbatim to what I would've said. Maybe this quadlining thing will stick around for a bit. Either way you are doing a great job and I hope you are enjoying yourself because this has been really fun to watch.
Amen
Ps the only thing I would add is that I use both veg and bloom lights in veg starting as early as a couple weeks or actually my clones too lol The only thing I need to watch is how hot it gets. The red light makes it much hotter so I turn up the exhaust or only use red at night

Good call. I’ve been running my fan on the lowest setting this far so I’ve got some extra power to play with there. I did notice the high temp jumped about 4* over night to a high of 82F.I agree I agree I agree!

I would do like @JustMeds says! My previous grows always showed me that I should have removed lower bud sites cause they rarely go up and develop well. The pictures allow to mesure the height pretty so it seems that you have a reasonable stretching window. So if I were you I would trim the shades low sites (fan leaves and bud site) and just give her some days to recover and stretch! You re doing very very well I love it!

The lower bud sites can not receive enough light to grow well,right?
