Maybe my eyes are playing tricks on me, but that looks like it's a hermie. If so... the sooner the better.

Your plants aren't root bound. There's no need to transplant.

LST is low stress training. The gradual reshaping of the plant, basically. High stress training can include snapping then mending or otherwise intentionally damaging stems to form knots, heavy trimming, etc.

I don't consider smoking weed trippy. The nearest to trippy experience I've had with it is when eating 6 double-dose chocolate chip cookies, and smoking some more on top of it. I slept really good.

How often do you water?

Well, the coatings typically absorb specific frequencies, and fluoresce specific frequencies. This is not a 100% effective process, as more light is absorbed than fluoresced. There is also a small degree of reflectivity. Transmittance is usually fairly low, like fluoros, which transmit less than...

It depends how rough you are. A skillful gardener can transplant with minimal to basically zero shock. The better formed the root ball is, the better the plant will accept transplant.

I don't check soil for watering. I just look at the plants. Every other day is way too much, if you continue to water this much you'll likely promote stagnant water, leaf necrosis, and quite likely root rot... which is almost always fatal. Roots need to breathe oxygen. They naturally cycle...

Welcome to RIU. :bigjoint:

I've topped in flower when a few of my plant tops 'accidentally' got fairly burned. Not one hermie as a result(though one regressed back into a veg state). I think most hermies are genetically coded that way from the start.

A plant does not really care about gradual light intensity change. There is no benefit to slowing reducing photoperiod to 12/12(it'll just veg longer, with less net total solar energy collected during the photoperiod... meaning diminished growth for those inbetween periods). Numerous university...

You did the right thing. If your foliage ever touches soil, prop it up immediately. Soil & foliage = dead foliage(and disease can spread to the stem and kill the plant). If it's just leaning a little, but no leaves touch soil, you can let it attempt to right itself, otherwise prop it up.

How are the stems? Do they snap? Or do they bend? If they have some bend in them, seal them in air tight jars and the moisture from within the stems will redistribute. I don't suggest any form of rehydration until perhaps 1 or 2 days before smoking it. It'll keep dry as a bone for a long time.

Nice shot. Mine was just a little girl. ;)

MH/fluoro will result in a higher node count(and more dense), which means more bud(and more dense) come flowering.

There shouldn't be any smell.... Until the end of their life, sometimes they burn out(literally, they can actually start a fire in rare instances), though most have technology to detect this and stop it well before it happens. There are also commercial grow fixtures for CFLs.

Good soil, lots of sun.

Coated will likely be hotter, and the total internal reflection will be greater, trapping some light in the bulb which will convert to heat. They also emit less light, though the light can be tuned to more useful spectra.

The sooner the better. The spectrum of the HPS forces flowering.
