You guys think I should top my plants? I'm growing 8 plants in a box designed to support 18 plants, so I do have extra space. I'd like to bush these girls out a bit so I can utilize all the available light.
Also, your suggestion to reposition the struggling plants over the airstones has really helped. Those roots are always wet now and are reaching down fast.

Yah mine was in a clone dome and given time to veg in the dome so it doesnt really compare to your 14 day seedling. Clones are definitely the way u wanna go if u wanna get consistent and grow lots of bud
i topped my blue berry twice and i now have a short bushy 4 cola as seen above. Ive topped my moby once and it looks like i can kick a football through its field goal posts. Some people prefer one main colas others like two mediums. Up to you, do some research see what people recommend or like.

I currently have four plants that are about a week ahead of the others in growth. I'm thinking about topping them when they get about 12" tall to give the other plants some time to catch up before switching over to the flower cycle. Tell me what you think about this strategy. I'm getting ready to post another grow update so you can see some pictures...

Day 28
Im slowly raising my ppm now that the plants are really thriving. Currently my nutrient ppm is 340. Half of my plants are on track and bushing out, while the others were stunted from slow root growth (though they are now back on the rails and growing well).

Well, I haven't had a pH pen for about a week now (it broke). The pH in my system seems to raise slowly though, so I was adjusting just about daily. Lately though, I've had to take a water sample to the hydro store to test just to make sure I'm not completely out of whack. To answer your question though, I'd say the pH needs adjusting every 1.5 days for me.

No, I decided not to top this time. I'm just going to let them veg for another few days to let the smaller ones catch up a bit. I'll just have to train them if they start reaching the glass. Getting ready to clone for a mother. Any advice?
I'll post an update in an hour or so.
Edit: On second thought, I'm going to wait until I am in week one of flowering before I clone. That will give them more time to mature and give me more time to get the clone set up ready.

Day 31
I can't believe it's been 31 days already! These girls get so much bigger every day or two! Below are the pictures I just took. I'll write a height comparison from three days ago so you can see what I'm talking about. My current nutrient ppm is 480.
This is my biggest plant. Three days ago this plant was eight inches tall, which means it grew about two inches in the past three days.
This was one of my smaller plants (below). Three days ago it was 5.5 inches tall. Now, it is 6.5 inches tall.
This is my smallest plant. Three days ago it was 4.5 inches tall. Now it's 5.5 inches tall. Roots look great on all these!

yes i have alot of advice for clones im just wondering if your guys are too small for clones. Might be a good idea to take one out as a mother. Your turn around time will be dropped by like a month

I think I'm going to purchase some more seeds and just get them started two weeks before harvesting this first cycle. I really want to get something that produces really pretty bud like Ice or something. Like I said though, I'm going to clone one of these Northern Lights plants in another 10 days or so. I should be about a week into flower and can use one of those clones for a mother.
Next cycle will be half Northern Lights and half Ice, or something similar.

I know. I just changed the res with new nutes yesterday so I feel bad about dumping it so soon! I really wanted to give the smaller ones some time to catch up. Maybe I can wait till Saturday to flower.
