Hey everyone!

I have grown a few times almost a decade ago in random poorly monitored spots. Finally can do something small but well done. I have grown plants my whole life but only cannabis indoors. I'm all about being efficient. Let me know what ya'll think. I know quite a bit about growing plants in general just these timing things and stretch throws me off a bit.

Grow info
Growing 4x Nirvana Northern Lights Fem
3gal aeration fabric pots
FFOF soil
GH 3 part nutes. Have only given them twice at 1/4th. Slightest nute burn so backed off for a bit. Never used FFOF soil and its pretty strong from other stuff I have used.

300w LED Galaxy Hydro
2x2x4 tent
96 cfm output fan with carbon filter
ph 6.2-6.8
RH: 40-85 (Extremely humid where I live)
Temp 70-84

Grew them till the 6th node was just forming and topped them down to 4th true node. LSTd the 2 biggest once they recovered.

I have 3 mainly Indica phenos and 1 that is a little more Sativa but she's the runt. Have around 40 'tops' already.

The 3 larges ones broke ground 7/7 while the small one on 7/10. They have grown extremely fast though. I was planning on a little longer veg but they have filled out quicker than expected. I have ran out of floor space and don't want to push my luck with height. Only have a little over 1.5 ft to raise light, can maybe improvise a few inches more. Afraid of LED burn too.

I threw in a picture of them only 8 days ago on 7/26 just to give an idea of the growth rate. Had one of Nirvana's randoms in as a backup, got rid of it when runt caught up.
Also a pic of them 4 days ago in natural lighting on 7/31.

Plants are 27 and 24 days from breaking soil in first two pics.

Oh yes they're ready mate. But are you ready to walk through that jungle your tent is about to become is the real question. No but seriously it's going to be crazy in there. Better put 2 fans in there because those buds will be pressed together.

Haha thank you guys. They really exploded last few days. I think next time I'm going to just plant a 5 pack and pick the best two that are similar, makes it a ton easier. We'll see how it turns out though.

I might have to give one of these to my buddy who is just starting up.

Thank you!

The smaller two have 8 tops each.

Two larger ones have the 6 lower branches tied down to spread them out and I topped the main tops again to control height (stretching and blocking rest of plant) so they have around 16 tops each and just tied those down again. Hoping to keep it even but I have that sativa pheno, runt though.

I have heard Northern Lights stretches a lot but so far they are just bushing up in veg also no idea if they have same "nothern lights"

After only 1 day or night of 12/12 there are pre flowers or pistols on the biggest two. They may have shown up last few days but did not notice, both are at the base of the 2nd top of the main stem, not sure if this is from some hormone auxin thing with topping . Also threw in a group natural light shot.

The more sativa plant caught up like crazy, each branch grew over an inch each day for about 4 days.

Probably last post before I convert to a journal or post it all at end in one big post. Thought you guys might be interested for whatever reason.

All put in soil on 7/4 sprouting between 7/6-7/10

its ready when you say it is. But you have to figure that once you flip they will double in height. So you should consider the height of your light (the highest you can raise it). I left plants veg too long and had to remove my ratchets and zip tie my light do the bars of my tent. Nice job though. Your plants look great
