Depends what the goal is, you wanna flower these out and take clones before that happens... you have a predetermined amount of space to do this in, lets say its 6ft tall (just for the sake of the example). Now when you go to flower those you can almost bet they will be 2x the height the started day 1 of flower (plenty of ways to manipulate the stretch but not important now) so you will wanna throw them ladies in ur space when they are half the height you want them to finish at (general rule of thumb, very simple and basic method of judging the flip) so if i was you id let em veg for lets say 4 weeks (dont forget to top the 4th or 5th or 6th node, not to take a cutting but to break appical dominance ((it wants to grow straight up)) id throw em in that space at say 2ft tall to accomidate for equipment over head i.e-lights and let em finish around 4-4.5ft tall. At 2ft or 18 inches tall they will have plenty of shoots off your main branches to take cuttings to make clones, let them start to come back from topping (2 days or so) and then flip, i always try to carry the regrowth energy into the stretch for flower, they seem to be more plump at the end vrs not catching that regrowth energy correctly. Hope this helps good luck and dont be nervous these plants are hardy as fuck and hard to kill completely (not saying you cant fuck a harvest up growing out not ideally healthy and happy plants for you vets itching to correct me here lol) but for beginners and those not selling a product this is a fun and rewarding little journey. Happy Growing everyone!

Thanks for this info. Im actually doing an outdoor hydro grow, so im using hydro ferts but growing outside. One of my plants specs state it will reach a max height of 1m and a girth of 1M (short and thick ) so im not going to bother doing anything except maybe top one plant to do a comparison to another. however one of my other breeds say it can reach upto 3M when grown outdoors (which is what I'm doing) so im thinking I will have to top it and then train it to try and keep my height down. Height is only an issue because I don't want them to grow past my fence height. Sun wise they get currently about 6hrs of full direct sunlight and plenty of shade both sides of that.

Hope this gives u a clearer picture of what im doing

Yeah id say top and train the 3m ladies laterally and bush em out so they do not exceed the height of the others and keeps everything nice and even... this being said im not much for outdoor growing here in Vt lol like i said we are plagued with cold most of the year lol... in anycase as far as training goes though i know outside is far different then my methods, we may want some outdoor growers to chime in here for that. It may not be bad aside from your fence height limitation for the plants to grow tall and you could have a decent sized hedge out there lol

Awesome!.. Where I live (rural) there are no rules. You can shoot any weapon of any kind at any hour of the day or night. Most country people practice quite frequently, and sometimes sounds like a war zone out here on a nice day. Oklahoma is dead center in the United States. Explosives are something you can buy at the local hardware store. It's called Tanerite. It's basically pure ammonium nitrate with a little aluminum packet that you shake and dilute into the AN. Set the charge out about 100 yards, and hit it with a good AK47, AR15, and BOOOOOM!... it will make a big hole in the ground, and send a good shock wave back at you. I shoot squirrels, and armadillos out of my front door with an AR22, or .410 shotgun at night... nobody cares. Its just the norm. But 6 miles away in the City Limits,.. that's a different story. You can get arrested for shooting a firearm in City limits. But county is a free for all.. fires, bombs... that's why I dont live in the city limits.

Reading this just made me realize.. I need to get my happy ass out of the city. I have to drive 103mi if I want to partake in those activities legally bongsmilie
I get the privilege of hitting wild turkeys in my back yard with a bb gun with a scope. That's all the fun I'm allowed in the city.

Hey hey guys, thought I knight ask here first rather than start a new thread, curious when you think I should transplant to the final pot and suggested size?

Thanks and here they are almost 3.5 weeks old.

Looks good. You still have time to transplant. I like to let the roots fill out the pot mostly before potting up. those 1 or 2gal? You can go to 3-5 from there. If you really want them to blow up you can move to 20-30gal tubs lol.
