Nice stuff broham! When I get my clones going in this coco I'm going to be using Jack's. Just sprouted my bubba's gift as well.

So far I think my bubba's gift is the touchiest so far. I fixed the low humidity problem but it didn't like that early on . And I think that's the only one I'm going to back down on the nutes. It didn't like to be topped either, took to long to recover. 24 days from seed

That's the second one coming up. Everybody says the third or fourth, all mine were looking pretty good and so I topped at the third and if shes strong that's where I would go.
 
Its not going to be long before you top. Are you planning on transplanting before you do? I gave mine a few days after before I topped.

I will top then wait, did you transplant then top? I'm going straight into the final pot which is 3gallon smart pot. Which order should I do them in ?

I'm going to go with 2 3gallon smart pots under SCROG, and keep the runt in the solo cup for its entire life if space permits.

Your lady looks good man !
 
Thanks man so far so good. I think I should of waited to transplant and topped first. Looking forward to seeing how yours do.

Looking good dudes! When I topped my first plant I waited till its 5th node had just sprouted and cut above the 3rd, waited a day thenTrimmed everything underneath. Keep in mind this early stage is about establishing those strong roots. Topping soon after the 3rd has grown your roots probably can't handle the juice needed to recover quickly.
 
And those ladies can be in those solo cups for weeks in coco the roots get to breath way more than soil.

Yep that's where I went wrong. I topped it right when I could grab the top. I should've let it grow to the fifth and then topped at the third. Well live and learn. Bachomp, what size pot is that?

It's in a 5gal smart pot. Probably will veg out another month. It's really starting to explode. The bottom half of the pot is a supersoil I got from local shop seems to be doing the job. But I think I'll be enjoying the coco when I get this perpetual motion going.

Things are moving

I can see the roots coming out the holes of the cups on all 3 ladies!

BUT there's seems to be some coloring going on.

So my back two plants are showing some yellow coloring. Do you guys think she's telling me she's hungry? Top layer of Coco felt dry after 2.5 days so I gave the ladies some RO water hence the wet coco.

Let me know what y'all think

I've backed off on water and feeding the plants regularly. I waited till the coco was a little dry then gave plain RO water today. 6.0 ph (pee color for the drops)

I also raised my led, it's at 30inches away now.

Actually know that I remember. I haven't given CalMag since one of the first waterings. This maybe a factor. Any other ways to tell?

If it's just on new stuff I wouldn't sweat the color too much. Just keep it light, feeding watering whatever. I've got some cuttings that are in coco just with RO. Once they take root in a few days I'll start feeding them 50% my formula. Going to 100% within 3 days depending on response.

I also wouldn't move the light, they don't seem to be showing any signs of light related issues. Get out of ya head Ed!
