I'll have a look at my one shorty CDLC and how many nodes there are and top it if it makes sense. Thanks for the info.

She has 6 nodes now so too late. I did catch her early for LST and have a nice bend in the main cola considering what a tree stump she is. Hard to manipulate her. But I can tell this is going to be an improvement over my forgotten strawberries training. I have some secondaries getting exposed now which is a bonus. Just going to continue a bit more main cola manipulation until she gets too stiff. And leaf tucking. And no doubt some defoliation at some point.
This is Day 24 (day 21 for the GWKs)
Spent days 17 to today trying to LST these early while flexible. All I did was bend the main stem close to horizontal with pipe cleaners. I like doing that instead of topping because you don't have to guess if something will be OK to top or not to get a level canopy and you won't slow anything down like topping can do. Its interesting how when you bend the main stem early the growth of the plant will take on that new structure you put in place as it continues to grow. Next time I'm going to position the plant more to one side of the pot and do the LST bending to the opposite side so things are more balanced.
After transplanting from the solo cups to the final 1g containers I top watered. But I'm all about trying to get these to kick in to flower fast and decisively and from what I understand you want to get the roots down to the bottom to trigger that. So as of 2 days ago I started to dunk the pots in a 5 gallon bucket down about 3 inches and hold it for a few seconds and then lift it out. I am hoping to see some roots come out the bottom of the pots soon. And by day 30 hopefully we get in to flowering. But since I don't know how much plants are sucking in like I would know if I was measuring it out and top watering I am weighing the pots. When they weight xxxx grams I know they are where I want them and don't need to be watered. Over time they will decrease weight and when they reach yyyy grams its time for a dunking. I am also trying to do short dunks and more frequent dunks. Once in full flower I'll switch back to top watering.
So its been a week and the plants definitely grew some. And the LST has given them as structure that will be good for a level canopy going forward.

The CDLC have really curly leaves. GWK are more open thats for sure.

Looking good. Spectrum looks different. Looks like they are ready for more aggressive watering to me soon. How fast do they dry out? Good work. Peace, slow

Yeah figured I'd pop over and steal some members from yours.
I felt something was off the last couple of days. Probably because I'm trying to figure out how to dunk them and didn't want to over do it. Thanks for checking and making that observation Slow. I got more aggressive starting last night and I can see a difference already.
Thanks man. Took me a while to get the setup like that. My first couple of grows were pretty chaotic in the tent.
Have at her! Take all the members you want, except please don't take @MassMom :smoking:
