I have 5 clones now, trying to give one away to a nice home so I don’t have a space issue next time around.

I did 5 plants in a 4x4 on my first grow. It worked but, I got more weight my second grow with only 4 plants in the same space. I think you are making a good decision to part with one of the clones and go with 4 plants. It was a good decision for me.

Small update.
Yesterday I decided to check for roots. Over half have started to show roots so things are going as planned. Fingers crossed they all look like this by the weekend so I can plant them into solo cups.

Just started watching, nice set up, and great looking roots growing in there, nice job! I was considering doing one big tree in my 4x4, but seeing your results may go with 4 plants to flower now.

Hi Opar, thanks for stopping by. One big plant is probably fun and simple but I think you would get more weight out of four smaller plants with some training on them. ScrOG is also a good option to maximize yield in smaller spaces.
Also it would be a much faster turn around if you did 4 plants instead of 1 due to much less veg time before flower.

Nice healthy roots Lizard ! Nice job with the clones.
You nailed it on the big plant question shorter veg time and gives you the flexibility of running a couple of plants as there can be quite a difference in pheno from seed to seed. Then you can clone the best pheno so you know exactly what your dealing with the next time around.

1 big one in SCROG is more than enough fun. Lol. I just cut her out of hers because she got too big. Such a PITA to redo the supports.

Day 23 of 12/12.
So I had a busy weekend. Got all the clones planted into their own solo cups. Only 5 out of 26 didn't show roots yet. They are still kicking in the humidity dome for a little longer.
I watered in the newly planted clones with 1/2 strength nutes, and some super thrive. They are under four 4' foot T5's. Most of the veg will be done under these. I like T5 for it's close node spacing.
I haven't decided yet how many I will keep for flower. Right now I'm thinking I will do 6 medium plants. I'm also thinking about doing these in a quad line style.
The big girls in the flower tent are doing great. I have created monsters. I vegged too long I think. lol
I have grown in pots too large for my plants in the past and now I have found the other end of that spectrum lol. These pots are maxed out but still my plants aren't root bound. They need water every 2 days but that seems to be slowing down a little as stretch slows down. I will use this size pot again but veg will be shorter.
I released them from their training tie downs and staked them. First time staking but I have found I like the method.
I removed them one by one from the tent and pruned the lower leaves that were showing their age.
The Trainwreck was actually very bushy with big leaves so I had to prune a few of the big fan leaves out of the way of bud sites. The stakes allowed me to space out my main branches and this opened up the plants in a major way.
The only problem I ran into was that because I staked them outside the tent I didn't realize how big they really were until they were spread out. They ended up being too large for the tent. Width wise that is.
After about 30 - 40 minutes of twisting, tilting, shoving, and luck I finally got them to fit. lol.
I even found time to make 3 pounds of cannabutter along the way. That was a long ass day.

You certainly were busy. That's a cool idea to use stakes for training I have used them for support late in flower but never for training should be interesting to see how it works for you. Nice healthy clones all looking very happy and a nice shade of green.

Thanks.
Also in the way I attached the stakes they will also be able to serve as support for late flower without any adjustment. Or at least that's the plan.
