Day 21, 26c 48% rh... just fed her again. The tops are showing now, and I'm wondering if I should remove the bottom node. They're almost hitting the ground.

Day 23 technically. (Some days skip a bit due to night shifts, sorry) 24c 50% rh. I trimmed the bottom node because it was hitting the soil. Looks a lot better now.'
But, the tips have a slight light burn I'm suspecting.. So I've raised the light quite a bit. Just to be sure.

Day 24 - 24c 50% rh. Tops are showing nicely, seem to be recovering from the slight light burn. I caught it really really early so it's not a big deal at all.

Would it be too early to flower soon? I really don't want to risk running into height issues.

You can flip to flower anytime you please as long as your plant is healthy. Some growers even go 12/12 from seed if they decide too keep smaller plants.

Update day 25 - 24c 58% rh. Turned off the light for 30 seconds to get proper color on the pictures, and perhaps people can help me figure out if I got some light burn, or a nute burn.
But would I still yield decently if I flowered now?

I would have vegged a bit longer

How much longer? I can still do it, since it won't flip for another hour.

Two more weeks, If you can afford the space. Since you have one plant might as well make it a fatty.

I'll give it around a week more. pretty sure I can afford that.
Should I top it again? And should I scrog it?

If you do more training you're going to add more veg time. It's really up to you and the amount of patience you haveI'll give it around a week more. pretty sure I can afford that.

Shit. I acidentally took off one of the two main shoots. I was doing some LST, but the joint must have been too weak.. Or are you not supposed to LST on main shoots? Any how.. I've positioned all the other shoots around so they all get light. Hopefully that will make up for the lost main shoot :/
I got nothing but patience. What would you suggest I do?

I personally veg for at least 4-6 weeks in soil. Like i said it depends on how big of a plant you want or if you are training.Update day 25 - 24c 58% rh.

Day 26. 24c 62% humidity. I've started some LST to get all the bud sites lined up properly. And by doing so I accidentally snapped one of the 2 main shoots I had created by topping 
Too bad! But the plant is bushing out a little bit, I've been doing my part trying to get the light distributed properly on all the shoots.
Also included is a few pictures showing where the branch came off. (I wish I could LST the other main shoot, but they're really really weak at the joint for some reason. I'm sure you'll understand when you look at the picture)

Hey handygringo, nice girl u got there! She's looking happy n healthy! Sucks about the branch I got a delicious candy going at the moment under a mars hydro too, same thing happened to me about a week after topping I tried to lst to her but it just popped out no snap or anything. Just off it came, I tried cloning but to no avail but keep up the love and she'll give you a good flower!

Maybe It's like a rite of passage kind of thing. My first proper grow I have to snap a branch. But then again, it's just one branch, now there's room for one of the others to get some more light. I've done some reverse LST, if that makes any sense, and tied all the smaller shoots together so they're reaching for the middle of the plant.Hey handygringo, nice girl u got there!

Normally you would take the highest shoot and level it with the others, to even the canopy, I'm just leveling all the shorter ones up towards the highest one. Hope it works.

Lmao nice thinking 
oh so ur raising the lower nodes by tying them to a higher one? That's some out the box thinking lol I ended up removing the lst and she just bushed out I don't think she liked it much but she's happier now

Yeah exactly. I hope it works. I'll upload a picture tomorrow and I hope it adjusts a bit to it. And I doubt the plant dislikes it.. I think of it like working out, you gotta stress the muscle to make it grow. You're hurting the plant a tiny tiny bit for a little while, so it adapts to the situation and gets stronger and gets more lightLmao nice thinking

Yh that was the plan but cheese strains in my experience are really finicky and don't like much training (2 previous grows with it) but few days after letting her go she started praying, my other PK (Pineapple Kush) loves training I'm using elastic cotton and she's really happy with it, looking forward to seeing how she's doing

If you supplement in some silica to your feedings it will help build stronger cell walls and also helps with plant stress. It will make your stems more flexible and helps with less breakage of the stems. They become more pliable. Just remember a little silica goes along ways so take it easy or it can burn your plants.
