How soon would you suggest top? Is it necessary to re amend to a bigger pot? Currently in a 3 gallon pot, do you think they may be out growing the pot?

yellowing from the bottom up would suggest you've depleted your soil of nutrition.

oh no. this concerns me, will be uploading pictures shortly.

Maybe if youre heading into flower, top dress, feed (whichever way you do it?) or re amend more medium and re pot? I have started using bigger pits now, 20L in my flowering photoperiod tent, I think I should of gone bigger.

Bigger the better in organics or so I've notived in my ventures.

@JJ Cool sounds nice! I’m excited to learn all that I can from all, especially organic growers!

Don't panic and think you have to do anything drastic. My bad, maybe I should have explained more.

If you're using a dry amendment mix, then just literally "top dress" your pot, then water in.

I tend to find a 12L (2.5 to 3 gallon off the top of my head) in a .6 to .8M so around 2 to 2.5 feet it think , that gets a little small.

They look really healthy from what I can see

If you're heading into flower, which looks like you may or should be? ...then i would be thinking forward and adding any amendments now.

If you're using bottled nutritients I'd ask someone else. I rarely use any bottled stuff.

the topping is usually wait till 5th. node then cut back to 3rd. ,if not a auto. no topping can get tall for the tent, also cant sog with screen. im sure someone will weigh in soon

If you meant topping, fimming LST etc.... I'd make a new separate post. I think they look lovely without the topping.

I know not much about topping.

[img]Checking in with a weekly update (although it's been 3 weeks)! Organic white widow (2) grown in kindsoil and fox farm coco loco, 3 gal smart pot, 600w LED in 32x32x63 tent. If you're unfamiliar with the "water only" method, organic kindsoil, I've attached the link to their website with all sorts of info I found to be EXTREMELY helpful.

Since my last update, I've researched best LST practices, along with transplanting, and deciding if that's something I wanted to do. Naturally, I was nervous I'd damage my kids, root shock, do it wrong, etc. After taking advice from fellow growers, I decided that I would transplant one plant and reamend the other.
Vegetative (Week 6)
9/19 plant A transplanted from 3 gal to 5 gal, trellis netting added for lst
9/19 plant B reamended, trellis netting added for lst

Water portions increased to 1/2 gallon per plant after transplant/reamend

Avg. Temp before transplant/reamend 72 degrees f/40% rH

Avg. Temp AFTER transplant/reamend 79 degrees f/ 50% rH
9/26 Watered 1/2 gallon per plant, 1 week since transplant/reamend
9/28 Watered 4 cups each, I've noticed with smart pots (fabric) plants dry out quicker, finding myself watering between 2-4 days since transplanting, before I watered about 4-5 days. Plant A and B look extremely healthy (in my rookie opinion). Not even a full week since initially transplanted, I noticed new leaves sprouting . I've tried snipping a few of the new leaves so energy outputted towards leaves that are already mature.
9/29-10/1 Vegetative stage end (8 weeks) Extensive research on flowering, process and procedure. Also, I'd love any and all feedback , technique, or advice, as I begin the flowering stage of my kids.

Flowering stage will be initiated 10/4
Below are pictures of the last 3.5 weeks.
Look forward to your responses.
Be easy, smoke good.
