With any other strain I would, but from my experience last grow, the Gigabud didn't stretch very much, that's why I'm vegging for two weeks before 12/12. I would normally go straight 12/12 from the cloner, but I wanted to get these to about 18 inches tall total. We'll see if they "reach for the sky" when I hit them 12/12 next week.Beautiful girls! Super impressed with those 3 days of growth. Hope you got that top up as high as it will go now, you're gonna need it in a few weeks.
Just following the CES schedule, they are getting about 1100 PPM of the transition mix. I will replace 1/2 of that with the bloom mix and continue that every two weeks until I get to the last 2 weeks when I will replace 1/2 of the nutes with straight R/O water.
I'll trim away the lower fan leaves and do some light trimming on day 21 of bloom. I may also trim out some of the smaller interior branches to get some air flow going through them. These are already 4 times bushier than the last grow. The added two weeks of veg made a huge difference.
I think 1 week of veg, these things are really getting bushy, although I think I would only FIM them once or top them twice. I may have gone a little over board on that end. I don't think more than 2 weeks of veg would be recommended at least for this setup, since I have a height restriction. If it were a stretchier strain, I would try to keep them as short and bushy as possible before flower. If I had vegged the P-chunk last round for 2 weeks, it would have been a lot taller and out of control.
it's almost growing too well. They are way bigger and fatter than I had planned. I should have vegged for 10 days before the switch. It is going to be bud-central in there very soon. I did the res change today to the bloom mix. I'll post numbers and pics tomorrow, it seems to double in size every 3~4 days. Explosive growth would be an understatement.
