I hope you were tied off to a lifeline, my friend. That'd be one helluva fall.

Thanks, Al. And back atcha. I did have a good day. Got the ladies topped and LST’d. I have no idea what I’m doing but I’m acting as if I do. I’m in for the journey, not the destination...oh who am I kidding? I’m in for those stanky buds. I just hope I didn’t kill the crop. Roll Tide, my friend.
Eek! I've been down the past week. How are they today? (And Roll Tide!)

Good to have you Dirty. I have an open door policy so I’m open to any advice. Otherwise, I’m always down for some good conversation. Thanks for dropping in.

That was a bit of hyperbole, I guess. I mean that I just topped them about 30 minutes ago. Everything seemed to go okay but we’ll see. I’ll have some pictures up in the morning. Get some rest. I know that you and @Tangled can always use a little more rest.
Your girls are going to be great. I'll be looking for those pics as soon as I can. Friday's always a long day for me.

No worries, my friend. I hope I am way down on your priority list, if you know what I mean.

Good morning, all. Yesterday was topping day, and I think that it went okay. I peeked in on them this morning and I think that they are already filling in some. After I topped them, I started training them a bit, using wire out of some 110V Romex that I had laying around. I think that I'll probably introduce some light nutrients over the weekend. I'd like to get these ladies nearly popping at the seams before I up pot them into their final 7 gallon smart pots. Here are some before and after pictures.

Great job, FEF!
Hey FEF, looking good - i'd get those plants into their new pots asap though - they're getting big now and would benefit from some extra root space right about now

10-4, Irie. I may go ahead and do that this weekend, then. That way I can keep an eye on them for an extra day, or so. Thanks for the advice, my friend.

Wow @greenjeans, I have to admit that I'm impressed. As someone that dabbles in woodworking, it's immediately evident that you have skills, my friend. I'm trying to figure out if I'm more impressed with your craftsmanship or your ingenuity. Either way, you have game, my friend.

Good morning, all. I hope that everyone enjoyed their weekend. My weekend was enjoyable and productive. After topping the ladies on Thursday, I was able to get them up-potted on Saturday and I introduced some light nutrients to them, yesterday. I think that the ladies have responded well, to both.

Judging from the root ball, it looks like I need to revisit @Emilya 's watering tutorial. There aren't many lateral roots. It looks like they all took off, straight to the bottom.
Here's a picture of all three recovering from their traumatic morning. These ladies were little troopers.
Yesterday (Sunday), I broke out the PH pen and nutrients. I started with a gallon of Publix spring water (PH 6.7 and 16 PPM). I added 2 tsp of FF Grow Big and 1 tsp of FF Big Bloom. I then added 5ml of calmag and measured (PH 5.9 and 477 PPM). I ended up adding 12 drops of PH UP to settle on PH 6.3 and 489 PPM. As soon as the lights came on at noon, I split about 3/4 of a gallon between all three.
This morning before I left for work, I snapped these three pictures. I can tell that they have responded well to the transplant and they're loving that first taste of nutes.

Much love, to all.
You ain't kidding, Irie! This is what I saw on Saturday morning. I probably should have up-potted about a week ago but the simple truth is that I have no idea what I'm doing. Frankly, I'm just lucky I haven't accidentally caught all three on fire. Also, my attention span lags behind my movements (especially after a couple of laps around Reefer Park, if you know what I mean), so I forgot to get a shot of JH #3's restricted roots, but you get the idea...Hey FEF, looking good - i'd get those plants into their new pots asap though - they're getting big now and would benefit from some extra root space right about now
