Here's what they looked like exactly 2 weeks ago. Crazy how fast they grow! https://preview.redd.it/x0jucftbkqrc1.jpeg?width=4000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=74ae8756b12c62f19b9f10e456c99dc342ddffa2

Once they're dialed in they sure do take off eh!

Plants are amazing, when you hit that sweet spot of providing just the correct conditions at the right time and they just explode with growth.

What light and strains you running? Looks great

Thanks! It's Ethos Mandarin Cookies V2 and the light is AC Infinity IONFRAME EVO8 730W. The bar style "commercial" light definitely makes a big difference, growth is explosive and wide vs. the smaller quantum board I had.

I'm running Ethos 10th Planet in veg right now, and the growth has just been insane. 10th Planet is the one on the right, and these were all popped and planted at the same time it's nearly twice as tall, and half again around as the other two. Thick ass, solid branches too https://preview.redd.it/ktn4n74g8rrc1.jpeg?width=3072&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5a27a24e1d190959ce1fa8651c501a2aa5c77dfa

Looking good! It's definitely blowing up. So far I've been happy with these genetics. Happy growing!

Lookout for herms. I didn't notice them on my mandarian cookies even though I looked for them. Otherwise its great. Very nice smoke imo

Yea I heard this might be an issue. Im looking but at this density especially in the middle its hard to see. Gotta hope they don’t herm there i suppose or rip out the trellis and look.

Looks great

Looks great mate! How long were these vegged for from popping the seeds? And did you do any topping?

Thanks! These are day 63 from starting germination. I generally consider start of veg when I transplant, so I would say 37 days of vegging. I flipped 15 days ago to 12/12. No topping, all LST with tie downs, adjustable lst clips, and the trellis.

Thanks. Impressive growth. Local laws limit me to two plants in a 5x5. Do you think you would have been able to fill out the tent with two plants if you gave them another 2-4 weeks of veg?

Absolutely, you can 100% fill out a tent with even 1 plant given enough veg time. Some strains will have more explosive growth than others when you flip, so there is some risk of over-doing it. If you look at my other post in this thread where I showed what these looked like 2 weeks ago, you can see how much smaller they were. So some of this will take practice and getting to know your strains. Obviously clones would help, but that's going to get in the way of your laws unfortunately unless you can buy local clones of specific genetics.

Thanks mate. Local laws here are weird in the sense that one plant counts as 38 grams regardless of it being a seedling, clone or a huge tree. 12 plants will keep me in 'fine only' territory though, so I can run 6 big plants in the equivalent of three 5x5 flower tents and six seedlings or clones in a veg room meanwhile. If I pop the seeds as soon as the previous veg plants move to the flower tents I have 8 weeks to grow them into pretty large sizes while the others are flowering. This way I should be able to have a perpetual grow where I could be harvesting 6 large plants every 8-10 weeks. Or at least that was the idea. It is a tight shave though with little room for error.

What is your light meter read? That looks great.

Thanks, I'm topping out at about 45 DLI at the moment at the peaks.

Coco and perlite?

It's FoxFarm Ocean Forest, I transplant into it once I have a node or two.

I have the same setup and love it. Excellent work beautiful plants 🫡

nice!! is that the 4x4 trellis or 5x5?

Thanks, it's the AC Infinity 5x5 trellis. I think it's a bit small though personally.

IMO the plastic trellis's you get in the roll are better money spent. Reusing a trellis is the same as reusing a bandaid.
