Well said indeed Ase. All I have to say is I totally agree and that's why I only comment on things that I've tried myself otherwise it's just speculation. I'll be sticking around here if you don't mind

Being a newbie can be troublesome with so many people trying to tell you what to do but I know I can come here and find answers quickly as there is no BS and I just like your style of how you write. Makes it easy for me to understand.

Day 12 Tent A - Day 38 Tent B
Today ended up being a long day for me. The little ones in the 2'x4' veg tent needed to be up-potted 2 days ago. I didn't have the time to do it the last couple days so as I got home from work I took a hit of some of the Lost coast OG (this stuff is crazy good) and went to my room to start prepping coco. I use my big plastic drain tables for this so I removed them and cleaned them out. Prepped (1-1-1 NPK @ about 400-500 ppm and cal-mag to 200ppm) the coco in them and then filled my 3 gallon fabric bags with about a 1/2" layer of washed Hydroton and dumped straight coco on top. Put a hole and set the plant in the hole while it is still in the pot to get the fit right. Took the plant out and sprinkled some Great White lightly in the hole and on the sides. Then turned the plant upside down holding it between my middle and index finger and gently loosened the pot off by squeezing the pot. Sound familiar?
I did take one photo of the roots. Sorry about the blurple but the roots are very white and healthy.
The plants in their new home and bag in the real Tent A which is the 4'x4'. This tent has the two mars hydro reflector 144s in it. They got really big the last couple days. Once they take off again it will be time to top them.
I decided to snap a shot of the flower girls but it wasn't a great one apparently. Either way there is a lot of frost going on in this tent and I am really happy. For being over halfway in flower I expect a strong last 4-5 weeks for these girls. I will be doing some backbuilding tomorrow for the first time. I always say I am going to do it and never do but this time I am for sure. I try to do these types of trainings early on in the day and not so much right before they go to sleep. I will take pictures and show how I did the backbuilding for anyone interested on what it is or what it does.
The girls in flower. I put the Jock Horror on a stand so it could get solid light. That's why it looks different.

Your flowering tent looks great! Did you defol recently to get those buds to swell? I'm looking forward to your back building method. I'm planning on doing this myself in the next few weeks. Happy growing Ase!

Thanks DD! I try to switch between updates on detailing the flower girls and the veg girls. Next update should be really fun to show off the flower girls better. I defoliated just after stretch stopped. I think it's just a few pages back in this journal. I do it to expose all the nodes that are left to light and have them swell and stack tighter because of it. It's also when I cull any flimsy or really short branches that won't make it high enough to get good light and I do my lollipopping as well. From here to the end I just pluck a couple leaves here and there to keep the light penetrating better.
Great update and great tutorial for transplant! I'm excited to see what back building does for you, I am also interested in trying this at some point to one plant just to see the difference....maybe I'll do it with Ase when the time comes Have a great day bud.

Day 14 Veg Tent A - Day 40 Flower Tent B
This will be a very picture heavy update. Everything with the transplant of the young plants seems to have gone well and I see growth in all 4 of them. They will get a fairly large watering today with a little extra Nitrogen and I bet there will start to be a boom in the next 2-3 days. That's when I will top them.
The flower girls just keep chugging along. Almost done with 6 weeks and I really like what I am seeing. I was going to do some backbuilding but actually decided against it for this round. I really want to see what I can yield with 4 healthy girls and I don't want to do anything to stress them. I know backbuilding works but not going to risk trying it for the first time on these girls. I am going to continue to push the extra P-K though. Barely any signs of nute burn so far. All 4 of them are getting frosty and thick with white hairs everywhere.

It's not over until it's over. Still a lot can happen in the last 4-5 weeks, especially with colder weather and lots of humidity on the way. For where they are at now though, I am very pleased.

Day 43 Flower Tent B - Day 17 Veg Tent A
The veg girls have started growing pretty quick as of today. Either tomorrow or the next day I will top them. I took the bottom node (the one with just the one finger leaves) off of them all today and also their cotyledons. When I go to top them I will cull the next node as well and start quadlining with the next two (the 5 and 7 finger branches). It also makes sure the plant is tall enough so it's easy to water. If you just did the quadline with the first tow nodes the plants would be just a few inches away from the coco.
They look a little light green but my plants always do at this point. They will get darker fast as they burst into aggressive veg, which they just hit.
The flower girls are starting to plump up. I saw a few calyxes starting to swell now. They all have a crazy amount of white hairs and great amounts of resin on them already. Should be a really fun finish.
