Very nice progress here! The hydro surely makes the veg time a speedy process. I cannot imagine the root ball if it was pruned at one point of the plant's early life. As for the soil- I suggest for the next time you can start her off in a small, high and narrow container, then you pull her out and take the roots and spread them like spider's legs and bury her that way. Or start her in wide and low container. You see, the roots are growing mainly downwards and from one point of the stem, so pruning/training of the roots will make sure she is utilizing the container better.
Or you can check out my Olla irrigation which water prunes the roots and attracts them to it. Then another way to make the most of the smartpot is to having space under it so that the air can flow there. I was also thinking about some kind of spacers, to force the plant into growing wide rootball, but I think wide container should do the trick. I transplant only once or not at all, to give the plant maximum amount of time to get used to her pot and soil. Refractometer is also a great thing to have, because you can check how is she doing in terms of potency/soil health. Anyway, you do what you are doing and the results will be there for sure!
Toasted Im no expert but 3-7 days after flip should show sex. Mine did right away. If your going to do anything wierd its best to do it quick and once and as soon as possible so they can recover. I dont think a 24 hr dark period before flip will hurt. Should make them show sex quicker. Great Day!
Thank you so much Tomula for the advice about root development, I will definitely pop by your Olla irrigation setup and learn as much as I can! There was a grower around here, I think Monsignor, who had a cool design with a SmartPot suspended in the air in the midst of a PVC frame. I might give that a shot when I move them into their new veg tent in a week.
Also, thanks for the idea about the refractometer! I bought one a few months ago for my food science research but I haven't used it on cannabis yet! Should I juice the fan leaves to get the sample? It would be fun to compare the brix levels between the hydro and soil plants. I have read that hydro tends to have lower levels of brix compared to organic soil, but maybe my babies will be the exception!!
Cool, you have one! You pick one medium sized leaf from the middle of a canopy, get some pliers, make the leaf into a small ball with you hand and then press a drop from it with the pliers. You can make cool experiments with it. Finding the best mineral balance for them. Do it at the same time of a day to compare. Sweet
The other two strains he will be running are Northern Lights and Wonder Woman.
Just 4 more days til we start the stretch 
Thanks very much Dankest! I posted my clone method a page or two back. The difference is that now I have them all sitting in pH 5.5 water together with hydroton to hold them up (and I think it looks super cute!).
At their current location in the tent the clones are receiving approximately 24k lux which I believe is suitable for that stage in development.
No white pistils yet but they are still relatively young
Thanks for the positive feedback and I am excited to hear that you will be making slingshots from your plants as well! Perhaps we can have an EPIC DUEL and launch buds at each other from across Puget Sound, yaaaas?!?!
I'm curious to see how these girls do compared to your first grow with the Blue Dream. That setup of yours knocked my socks off and I'm still trying to find them lol. Hope your week is going well
Checked out your clone method and I like it a lot. If my current method doesn't work out Ima try yours. I'm doing one AI clone from Hope in my small bubble bucket with Wendy the willow plant. Wendy's roots are taking off but still no action on Hope's clone. Both are doing good under the 600w mh. I look forward to seeing how your new girls do
That's absolutely hilarious haha. Sounds like a great time though. I'm down to brown town. And an epic duel it shall be! I'll have to replenish my stash but I'm so stoked for this.
I'm glad I'm on board for your transition to flower! 3 more days?
Built-in rooting hormone ftw!! I am uncertain of what to expect this time since each plant looks completely different, but it is my goal to forge them all into a single, cohesive, netless SCROG by the end of it! If anything I see the lack of net as an advantage in flowering because I can rotate the plants each day so that all sides receive equal light. 
I decided lawns are a waste of resources, might as well grow something you can ingest. So I am turning my front yard into a U-Pick berry patch!
