Strain: GDP from 420seeds
Medium: Coco and perlite 70/30
lights: spiderfarmer sf1000 and sf1000d
Tent: 2x2x5
Nutrients: GH flora trio and calimag
PH: 5.7 - 6.0

They're currently in 1 gal plastic going to 5 gal smart pots tomorrow. Rootball is good enough for transplant now. Mycos will be used. How long after moving the girls should I start training? Should I top or FIM? Planning on using trellis netting for I guess scrog. I've read that supercropping works well with this strain but I'm too scared for that right now maybe next go around with these seeds. Thanks in advance I'll post pics after they convert to a smaller res

I would start as soon as plants looks happy. Depends on your end. Low profile? Sooner the better. Just tops? Try stretching with lights a bit as you play.

I want to utilize my space as much as possible until I get a bigger tent. When you say try stretching with the lights, you're saying to raise them so my plants stretch for them, right? Does that make training easier?

Stretch occurs due to weak light or during early flower. Not desirable in the first instance and unavoidable in the next.

I just didn't know what the previous person meant when they said stretch with the lights when you play
Not to speak for @MICHI-CAN ...but I think he is referring to the fact that these leds can create a very compact plant structure...some like that during veg, while others like to get just a little bit of legs on the ladies...allows easy training, light pentration and air flow....you can do this by raising, lowering and dimming lights.
To each their own,
Lots of different tricks around.
