Roots are popping through, so I figured it was time to prepare the coco and put the girls into their new home.

That looks like it could fill in nicely. Curious to see how far you can push the yield in a 2x2. Good luck!

The last one weighed in at 496 grams (dried and trimmed)
You can see pics of the grow in the Low Budget Grow thread I just posted yesterday.

So you do not cut the main stem instead bend it until they are all same level?

Yes, no topping. I concentrate on keeping the main top horizontal for as long as I can with either wire or coat hanger stakes. When the lower branches start elongating I start to leaf tuck, defoliate the top sites and hand train daily. My objective is to expose at least 12 main top sites and give them as much light as I can.

Defoliating top sites by picking off the top leaves.

Hand training by spreading out the branches as much as possible to open up the plant.
