If i was going to top when would i do it, a lot of people i asked said i should have already done it, there getting pretty big, i would think if i was gonna do it should be soon. And they're strawberry cough thats a sativa dominant strain. so you think this means i should?
I usually top above the 2nd node. Same technique in the advanced section sticky, you can read more about it there. You can top whenever really, like the other guy said, its hard to mess up.

since that's solved lets talk about the watering.......... you think that pots gonna dry up before gnats move in if he were to soak it?.... I don't see it happening.. even if they don't a couple or three times watering til runoff with those little plants and the soil is gonna be 2 compacted for roots to grow well....... the bottom of the pots gonna be mud......
So start nutes back up in a few weeks with very watered down dose right?
so in your opinion i should just keep watering the way i am, not soaking just enough for plant to stay hydrated?
I think he'll be fine. He said he added perlite so hopefully that keeps it from getting too compacted. I know what you mean with the ocean forest though, it does get compacted pretty easily.
for now becuause you skipped a couple pot sizes ......probably a pint a day...maybe a little less....
alright cool thanks for the feedback, and as far the topping goes I'm prob just gonna pass on this time around, next time make things a little more advanced.
just don't let em outgrow your space you will be fine......plan on them tripling in size from flip to finish....
is it a problem that i skipped some pot sizes?
Im not in a tent or small closet, got a room so space shouldn't be a problem
is it a room in a barn?...... vertical space.....
kinda....... you should up pot as you go so you can really pack the roots in......the way you are the roots just grow to the bottom and hang out .... they work their way up but not as fast they do going down........ that and the mud thing....

its gonna be as big as you let it get......when ya figure an 8 foot ceiling and theres gonna need to be a foot or two between the hood and the ceiling... another foot underneath....... now you only have a five foot room........a pot that's a foot tall and you have a four foot room.........a five gallon bucket would put you to more like a 3 foot room..........
Because if not then i might just have to top
