Yep first time. I have my reservoirs up high because i like having minimal hose outside the tent and this way i can shoot straight through the side zippers instead of traveling down to the vent hole plus the extra gravity push makes me feel better. A 12 gal tank each side, you can run just one res but I have two setup for eventual perpetual grow.
There are other factors involved, genetics being a big one. Some strains can take all that and love it. Others absolutely cannot! I think its a good idea to start light and push slowly and watch the plants. Thats just me tho. I think your plants look great, so obviously they like what you are doing. I really like those tray2grow mats! They look like they can really simplify a grow!
Ive seen that before and seen it slow down for a sec and then explode! Hopefully thats the case here! My mutant Autoseeds Permanent Marker i have now self topped itself at around the 3rd or 4th node, its still small-ish not tiny, about the same size as the smaller GDP but its probably the most branchy plant i have, started growing branches out from everywhere!Day 15 lots of leaf tucking and readjusting through the day, one advantage of no top feed is that I can smush the fan leaves down a lot further and they’re not in the way. Should have a better chance at an even canopy with no training. No tucking yet bottom left plant midnight mass, my dog tugged at her a little about a week ago and her stalk is fat but a little unstable so not messing with her at all. Top left plant Creme Tasmo self topped herself after the 3rd, never seen that before. I’ll let her grow but keeping a close eye for anything weird. Besides the self topping she’s weird anyways and I don’t usually show patience with weird beans but it takes no extra effort to let her sit there so we’ll see. Maybe hard to see but second pic is the self top.
