Four days after topping the Malawi x Panama is the most Vigorous and the top node is two days into training 
On the other hand, the Black African Magic is still not ready to start training.
Looks like she is going to be a short plant !
Black African Magic #2 hasn't found her feet yet
Cafe Racer is coming along nicely for her age, not sure yet what I will do for training...
Feed is now 3g/gallon of Mega Crop one part. The three larger girls had their reservoirs filled for the first time....
Temp is 82F, rh is 37%, light is at 75%.
Cheers

Black African Magic started her training last night.
She is also the only one who "droops" before lights out !
Black African Magic #2 looks like she is finally getting with the program
Now 7" W x 4" tall and looking much more vigorous !

Training continues..
But first, Black African Magic #2 has been growing an inch in height and an inch and a half in width
If she continues she will be ~ 20" tall before flip, well within my self imposed 48" limit !
Cafe Racer is looking to be lanky
Malawi x Panama.....
Black African Magic could be the star of the show ! And the one I'm most looking forward to smoking
High view...
Low view...
Close up, it's a jungle in there
And all the girls !

The Malawi x Panama's top branches were growing a little wonky so I added a "bar" !
And removed the bottom node !
Had a little accident with the Black African Magic, split the stem on one side of the fourth node....
Decided to crop the fourth node completely..
Black African Magic #2 is progressing at a steady pace !
Cafe Racer is likely going to be the tallest !

Day 48 for the two oldest girls and likely the second to last day of training. They are about 20" wide...
I usually flip to flower on day 50 but BAM #2 (helmut head) is eleven days behind, may give her a bit more time !
Looking forward to seeing the difference between topping/training and leaving one natural. And flowering earlier
And it's almost time to decide how many branches to leave, thinking 14 ?

Having some radical thoughts tonight, for me 
Considering trimming back to two nodes !
Except for BAM #2....
And going a week longer than I normally do for flip to flower.
Stepping away from the clippers now
Cheers, eh ?

Day 53, right in my normal flip to flower window !
The clippers won, Malawi x Panama is now a two node plant
And started to remove some of the lesser branches...
Black African Magic last training (?)...
Cafe Racer, also now a two node plant and added a horizontal wood skewer to the top node !
Branches were getting a little too woody to lay flat..
Black African Magic #2 is safe, for now
The Girls...

Decided to quit feeding the humidifier..

Pretty well have the canopy I was planning/hoping for !
Training is now mainly focused on the interior branches.....
Day 5 of flower and drinking about 1/2 a reservoir per day, feed increased to the recommended 5g/gallon.
No sign of tip burn, yet
Even with Black African Magic #2 who is 11 days younger !
Looking like she will be a perfect Christmas tree shape !
Removed the first node...

Now 10 days since flipping to 12/12, just the faintest hints of pistols
Now is when I start tracking the "stretch " !
Black African Magic #2 Before trimming the bottom two nodes...

I've got the lights as close as I dare (~24") to keep the stretch down but it's not working
Temps are middle 80's and rh is low 40%.
Black African Magic grew 3" in 24 hours, her younger sister only grew an inch
Cafe Racer was 2" and the Malawi x Panama an inch....
Last night I watered with 5g/gallon from the top to a full reservoir.
Nothing but praying ladies
Some of Black African Magic's fan leaves are Bigger than my hand
May have waited a little too long to switch to flower, I've already had to expand my "walls" and the next step is to install hoops on them !
The Girls, all tucked in
Cheers, eh ?

Day 14 of 12/12, removed all the restraints and installed the HPS bulb..
Growth per day >
BAM - 1 1/2"
BAM # 2 - 2 1/2"
Mal x Pam - 2"
Cafe Racer - 2"
Black African Magic #2, bigger leaves are 8" x 8"
At 11 days younger she is not complaining @ 5g/gallon of MC !
But I feel I'm on the edge
Knuckle on the first Black African Magic...

Please allow me to pull up a seat @Chuckeye! This looks like fun.
Looking at that last pic it's hard to tell which plant was lagging behind the others.

Black African Magic #2 is the only one that hasn't been topped/trained, front left..
It sure is fun
Didn't think the SIP's could get any better, he, he...
