perfect example, more patience than me to do all that tbf. You stopping with the 4 main colas?

I think its fear not patience:) lol. I dont think I will top again. Although it does seem like a resilient strain. I'm hoping I can manipulate her existing branches and get at least 6? Or am I being naive?
She has 6 branches so far. And hoping the top nodes will grow out nicely making 8 that I could get to stretch into colas.

If you can bend her, you can get them ;) its all about time/patience. I just flatten mine under a net and let them go with no topping etc but my method is lazy, and doesnt work as well.

Well your plants look amazing.... Lazy or not. :) another question.....
I use the flora series nutes so pretty clean. And I ended up adding trichoderma (for hydroponics) the day after she was topped. Almost a week ago. Roots are growing out the bottom of my pot. Toying with the idea of changing from an ebb and flow to a drip. Some of the roots ends seem to dry up between floods. What do you think?

Don't laugh at my homemade pot plan. There are 3 big holes at the bottom

Cracking work on the training, she will respond well I have no doubt about that, you’re doing some great work here really nice to see

You clearly have some great root structure already my only concern is she isn’t flipped yet and the roots will double possibly treble over the flowering weeks can you contain them wet to dry cycles Isn’t a bad thing necessary I’d be more worried about the amount of roots she will kick out is potting up an option at all without damaging to much before it’s to late ???

looking real nice lady, id be incline to give another feed daily, so if you were feeding twice a day go for 3-4 times a day. those roots should soon form a nice mat in the runoff tray and you may end find that your almost constantly feeding anyway

I would say go with your gut. if you think she is ready for constant drip feeding, go for it, youll soon see if she likes it or not :)

Thank you! :) good to hear. As I said I'm rolling in the dark here.

I can put her in a bigger pot... If I have to... I feel I have shocked her enough for my comfort (not hers necessarily:)
I'm hoping I can get away with the roots growing out the bottom? ( my basin is closed so no light) thats why I was considering changing to a drip system so that at least the roots didn't dry too much between floods. I have most of the parts to do the swap easily.

I have heard of ppl developing a full root mat at the base of their flood and drain basin. But jeeze.... Cleaning, root rot and roots in my pipes....

Alternatively I can pop her in a bucket to extend the length. But don't want to do dwc, not comfortable yet. Would keep to ebb and flow or drip
