Purified tap and ph it with a couple drops of lemon juice. And no I haven't added anything but the nutrients from Prescription Blend but I haven't really used much of that

by what process ?does it strip all minerals like older Ro? you may have to get some cal mag
Tb is a a fairly heavy feeder

Need some opinions on veg time. Itll be 6 weeks from seed on may 7th and flowering is 60-75 days for this. I just want to know how long you guys think I should veg

Here is an example
TB cutting take 2 weeks to root Flower plants take 11 weeks to flower
take cuttings before flip 2 weeks plus 9 veg = 11 flip ,do it all again
round & round we go

3 gal black tree pots, from greenhouse
did you give it anymore 3 part nutes ?
I use rain water

there is no time limit on vegging for photos, some of the monster plant you see are mothers that have been vegging for 6 months or more

Okay then I should be good in the 2 gallon pots then right? I don't want to have to up pot if it's not necessary.
Yeah I just watered this morning I let it dry out for like 4 days, should I be worried if my runoff pH is a bit low? And sheesh I can't wait to be able to do things like that. I just need to get another space.
 
I transplant from a gal to the 3 gal a week or 2 before flip
plants still make roots in flower ( so yes you gonna have to up pot )
I don't ph run off & with ph perfect nutes have stopped wasting time checking my feed
How long you been watering to run off ? From transplant?

When I transplanted I just watered it a bit not till runoff but after that I have been but I've been letting it dry out more. And oh okay I'll remember that then, I do have 5 gallon fabric pots so I'll up pot before the flip thanks.

start to cut off some of the big leaves in the middle leave the out side ones
any small branches in the middle later, clip out the weaker ones
are you going to top it again, if you do . When you put it in to flower you will need to strip even more off the lower branches or end up with lots of small bud
lookin strong

I don't think I was going to top again should I? I was honestly just going to flip to flower next week since one of the stems is past the pot and started growing vertically. Im kind of overwhelmed trying to guess what grows where like the bud sites so I didn't want to mess up.
 
Then you should up pot & strip all branches that are weak below the top 2-3 buds (try to leave some fan leaves on ) but take out bud sites & small branches
In flower they will shoot up another 8 -12 " any thing below that is going to be small airy bud
I see 4 main stems but no other branches except some on the back one. you should have let some grow on the part you layed down & cut out weaker one . Then you would have had more top buds sites

You want to end up more like this
you want an even canopy ( the sea of green )

How I perform low stress training on my plants: Lots of pics!

Greetings all! I've had members ask about how I do my LST (low stress training) on my plants so I thought I would do a pictorial on it. My pics are of two different plants but don't let that confuse you. It's just easier to demonstrate that way. Let's discuss the theory behind LST for a...
