I was thinking wow your stems are higher than when my plants will reach the scrog net , I only have around 8 inches to scrog, then will train and switch to flower.

Sounds great, mine are also topped and waiting for growth now. The hydro stuff is coming back good as well, one of the white widows has like 5 tops growing out, hoe she starts to spurt upwards as it's starting to get bushy in there and still have about 4 inches growth till I can start training them

Oh and about your post on transplanting, you don't want to do that after topping or heavy trimming as it stresses the plants to much. If your going to transplant them it's a good idea to also let them dry out first, so hold off on the water or move them into new pots on the day you would usually feed. By doing this when you move them they will already be searching for water so this will encourage rapid root growth into the new medium after watering.

Prepare for super stinky skunk smell by the way, my hydro is few weeks ahead of your soil grow and my dogs already have started sniffing the grow closet, even with carbon filter they know there is going to be some stanky buds in there soon...

They are already smelling a little lol and yeah I figured not to transplant them yet. I was gonna wait another week or so. Good to hear your hydro is doing better

Yep looks good, you will notice the stem part in the middle will probably go a bit black and the two shoots of growth on either side of it will start shooting up. Don't be concerned if this happens the plant is just naturally sealing its wound and encouraging growth into the two new tops.

I will take a picture when my lights come back on and show you. It is possible you will have undergrowth coming up as well and the plant will start to bush out a lot more in the next week or so as I mentioned in a previous post you don't see a lot of stretch after topping but the plants lower growth really starts to take off then a few weeks later you will see the plant start to shoot upwards again massively.

I checked out the strain info on kerala and it said:

The aroma of this strain is rather heavy, sweet and pungent but the effect is a creative, high energy buzz renowned for its lack of panic/paranoia tendencies

What made me curious about your grow is that this is a Sativa dominant strain but your leaves are trending towards a more fat indica plants so I'm a little curious wether the one you have is the original South Indian strain from The Real Seed Company or wether it is the Flying Dutchman version which is Kerala x with Skunk #1 in which case the skunk side is possibly Colombian x Mexican x Afghani indica which would explain the leaf growth. If it is the latter the smell is going to be very very strong in flower as both of these plants have that tendency, mixed together will create a powerful aroma in your grow room/house.

You also should considering doing some LST and training as well as more topping, because this strain has the ability to recover quicker and could grow between 130-160cm, colas will be fat to so you will probably have to tie them off otherwise they will collapse under the weight.

Not sure if you knew all that already but id be interested to know if its original or the x
