Just changed nutrients on AK b/c I went with Amquel and needed to put a full 4GA in her. 20ML Micro / Bloom & Nectar :D 650 PPM, PH 5.75

Also, extended the exhaust up and out of the room through a return vent to keep the temperature cooler in the room. Temps dropped 2 degrees since I extended the exhaust.

Now you're thinking more and more like a grower.
Glad you solved that situation.
Try to have as little bends and length as possible so as not to reduce your fan's cfm's too much.

Was able to increase the A/C temp in the house up a degree so she's holding at 75 degrees which is great for my wallet. Air temp in the bedroom is 71 but 86 in the tent (directly under the light) girls are doing great I should have some good photos tomorrow. The roots have exploded the WW is catching up quick!

WW is exploding in growth, a lot of new roots available coming out all sides of the net pot! AK is as well. Here are some shots as promised.

White Widow (macro shot) she looks to be angled slightly towards the bulb, the reflector is hitting her good but the bulb itself sits mainly over the AK, perhaps I should rotate the ladies every few days?

I'll probably top the AK48 & WW Monday. I'm thinking 2nd node. Anyone have any comments? Let it grow another week beforehand? Cut it now?

One of the nodes on the AK48 looked to be drying up. So I topped her at the top on the new growth & did the same with the WW. First time trying this technique first few grows I had just let it grow so had to go back and look at my pics, notes & previous journals to figure out what I wanted to do. I'll grab a photo & post it brb...

It looks like you may have Fimmed are slightly Fimmed them.
If you actually topped, you're gonna have 6 colas on the WW amd 8 on the AK.

I think I did fim lol the nodes were so packed together I had issues trying to get scissors in there... I did snip off the top of a plant & remove top growth so yeah I guess proper term would be fimmed on the AK48 & looks like WW is topped or excessively fimmed. We'll see what happens :D

I tried.... whatever I did lol.... around the 3rd node... One of the nodes was drying up or so it seemed so I went one above that one cause I was counting it as dried up. My nodes are very close together so it was hard to straight top the plant without cutting it back down to the 1st node which I knew I didn't want to do for the 1st round. First time trying the topping / fimming so I went for it.... We'll see what happens lol

Growth looks good I'll keep y'all updated with daily photos to see if we can spot new growth :D

IMHO, it should be done asap.
If someone KNOWS they want 2 main colas, why not top down to the 1st once it has say 3 nodes.
Or top down to the 2nd from the 3rd, and clip off the bottom 1st nodes too, therefore leaving 2 main branches.

I never understood why ppl let their plants waste energy on growing 5 - 6 nodes, only to top it back to the 2nd or 3rd node.
COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME AND GROWTH !!
The sooner you do the topping, the faster and more secondary shoots grow and can be even with the canopy by week 4 from seed.
I topped my Chem's at the 1st node AS SOON AS the 3 node STARTED forming.
From 2 main branches/colas, I have 6 colas at canopy level from supercropping aka bending and pinching on 2 occasions.


The extra 4 are 2 secondary branch tips attached to EACH main branch/cola.
