Mind if I tag along Melville? Your DV is looking great, and has similar leaf-wrinkle and slight droop that mine has!

Absolutely!
We have room for everyone, and now that Azi has pointed out the bathroom we're all a lot more comfortable!

Happy to help.
I see those more like suggestions or guidelines. But we all have to walk our own path.Yeah, but @Trala has posted so many signs around that there's nowhere to pee.

So, by my math we're on day 41 of veg here. I now have to have both heating mats plugged in to keep the dark temps under control, but that's not exactly a huge problem.
I got up late, so these pics are from pretty close to lights out again. She's growing well enough that I'll have to adjust her training again, and I'll be adding another carhook to get one of the lower side branches over into a better position. I'll put up some pics this evening when I do that. Question is, do I up-pot her tonight, right before that (what I'm probably going to do) or do I let her have a day or two after adjusting the training. I think it'll be better to up-pot right before I adjust anything so I'll have more room for that placement.
Any suggestions are welcome.

It's a pretty adaptable plant so I not sure it matters a great deal. For more traumatic things like uppotting I usually do like Shed does and give them a break from full on lights for a day or so so they can regroup, so I'd do it for that, but for the timing of the training and the uppot I'd probably do it all in one go and then give it a bit of a rest from strong light for a cycle.

Good idea. I'm going to have to raise the light when I up-pot anyway, as the 3 gallon pot is a few cm taller. I can raise it a bit more for a day or two and then drop it down a bit.

Well, it's done. She's up-potted and the carhooks have been moved out towards the edge. I also refastened the top shoots to the supports. This will be her final pot, so now I have to pay more attention to the top shoots so I'll know when to flip. I raised the light about 15cm, so if I stay on top of the training of the top shoots I shouldn't have to move it up until we hit the stretch. I had to use some soil that might be a little hot. Some of my soil had grown legs, and I didn't know until she was sitting in the new pot with all the soil I had ready, and a good 5cm between the new soil around her, and the soil she was already in. So, some of the promix standard potting mix. I have grown a plant in that before, but I was treading the line between N excess, and N toxicity. We'll see how she reacts to it.
Okay. That's me for tonight. Going to grab an edible and a whiskey, night all!

Congrats on the transplant! Love the training and the excellent use of CarHooks®.

Thanks. I got them moved out a lot further than I expected. I didn't realize just how much those lower side branches had grown up, rather than out. I'm glad @Trala suggested them. Otherwise I would've used bulldog clips attached to the sides of the pot, and that wouldn't have been able to get them as low as I needed them. It's also harder to transplant with them.Congrats on the transplant! Love the training and the excellent use of CarHooks®.

She's responding well. The thermometer read 20C this morning, but the canopy temp is quite a bit warmer. Looks like I'll need to make sure the root zone keeps warm during lights on as well for a while. This is in the northwest corner of the house over the garage, so in winter it can get pretty cool, especially windy days. We're still a month out from the coldest time of the year in this area, and by then I'll most likely have flipped her to flower.

Took these a little earlier, so less leaf droop. I'll be taking pics in the morning as I'm taking the crosses out from here on out. The temps down low in the root zone are staying around 18C with the heat mat on over the dark period, and got a bit over 20C during lights on, even with outdoor temps of -15C last night. I'll put the second mat in there later in the season when that's the daytime high, lol. (I can hear Bill and the guys on the prairie laughing from here)

I can't imagine being that cold, of course you tundra dwellers can't imagine 49°cTook these a little earlier, so less leaf droop.
