It's been vegging for 10 weeks, also it's a clone so it was challenging. I just topped and stripped it yesterday so it will have 8 mains after recovery. Oh its in a 10 gallon.

Seems like mainline takes forever. You’re going to have to let that grow out a couple of weeks before flip. You can flip it soon but I wouldn’t. 10 weeks veg is a long, long time. You could get 2 more harvests a year. I mainlined in coco and it recovered way faster than soil. Made it more tolerable. You should leave some stump so your stalks don’t split on you.

I know, it's just, I learned all that, lol it's all true lol this clone is one of my first attempts at cloning and the young plant I topped for it didn't even make it. It's a long story with this one at one point I gave up on it and tossed it outside for weeks and forgot about it. It didn't do anything during that time then I had crappy soil and watering issues lol so yeah this plant has taught me a lot. I have got one decent harvest so far since starting back in January this year. I split a trunk almost all the way down the center on a flowering plant on my first harvest (2nd attempt) but thankfully that lesson only gave a warning and I was able to save with wire lol

Thanks man.

And on the coco note. I learned that too. Here is 2 clones I took the day before I topped them, so 3 days ago, and I have already removed the domes. Also 2 seedlings also in coco, and I suppose these guys will be joining her in the tent a little quicker than 10 weeks veg lol although that is a legit time frame to veg a plant/clone of that size it's bigger than it looks lol
