Pinch the top branches but dont break them , that will cause the other branches to grow faster/bigger & lead them to believe they are the top of tree, it becomes a competition at that point

The planter is probably too hot to promote great root growth. We typically try to use lighter colored planters or insulate them but you have black containers, not partially buried, nothing blocking sunlight off of them. Your plant will almost be that size at harvest if you don't get rid of some of the heat from the planter.

if seamaiden is in this post....then he has some excellent help right there.....usually what ever opinion she has I agree 100%

what media/soil was used before transplant?
How long have they been stalled for?
what nutrients are being used if any?

IMO....black buckets wrapped in heat reflective wrap would have been better as white will allow light penetration which will promote algae growth
in any case

It can be grown with Miracle Grow. Not exactly recommended, but it can be done. Go SUPER light, I mean SUPER light on the feedings. Be prepared to flush if you don't (you'll see the blue crap building up in the soil, that's a bad thing). Don't overfeed.

For foliar feeding seaweed is good. If using dry make a tea.

depends on your enviroment but I saw you were using a white buckets which allows light penetration....where as white horti planters do not allow light

My local garden guy had me use those black smart pots and ff soil...I did a quick search and ff ordered and shipped like $10 and smart pots maybe same...they turned into trees...I didn't look into or research or use forums and I was a weee wittle child in the adult world so I was very immature still and had know idea what I was doing. Didn't keep track of what I was doing or did....but long story short these ladies were trees! Some random reggie bag seeds and all turned out female lol talk about luck...I took all the advice from my local garden guy...now that I have discovered www.thcfarmer.com I would consider taking some of these well known farmers 2¢and it will be worth your while. I wish I could give homage to thcfarmer community for all the help and these amazing fruits of labor...my best quality ever...equipment and good hefty investment didn't hurt but honestly most of the reason it came out is because of the advice from some of these farmers.

I'm cheap. I already had the black nursery pots and didn't want to pay to replace them. I took my soil bags, cut them open, turned inside out, et voila. White plastic that's pretty much impervious to the sun. Just wrapped that around the pots. I used used printing paper for the rest of the pots. Yeah, it ends up going away but it lasted me a season.

Is all natural spring water better than any other water I know where there is natural spring water coming out of the side of a huge Cliff drank it my hole life so it is legit

 

[Seamaiden]

Non-distilled is best. If it's high in Cl, let it set out. If it's high in chloramine, break the bond and get the NH3 out of the deal.

Is the Poison Ivy vine in the first shot for security purposes? :) It is going to make things fun when you need to trim.
