7 day old seedlings, do they look ok for this stage?

I 2nd papaduc

those shouldn't need watered for a good 3 days at least

also, wet/dry cycle is crucial right now to get those roots to stretch out and fill those containers

Seedlings need to eat alot sooner then some would think, I found that out using worn out recycled soil on some sprouts.

Deffo let em breathe a few days, soggy soil is a good way to stunt a seedling.

Back to 24hr from what? 12/12?

If you mean from 18/6 or some other veg cycle, the plant won't even notice it.

Your questions:

1. Now
2. Now

With regards to feeding, don't feed them every day til run off. Treat it like soil and allow a wet dry cycle. At that size in pots that big one saturated pot will keep them going for 4-5 days. The only thing that will dry them out is the light.

Get them topped now and let them focus on good strong branching, like I showed you in my pictures, and switch the light to 400 if that's it's ma setting. If it's 600 they're ready for that too.

Either/both is fine at this point. I'd top cos it is so easy.

 

[Tonygreen]

Top em and root the tops as clones.

They will have roots by and a lil veg time by the time yer ready to bloom.

Id top once now let it grow two heads and two nodes then top again, you'll have 4 heads plus 4 at the inter branch you let grow out, thats 8 heads per plant with just 3 tops and then with a lil lst work... Lookin nice.

Are those fem seeds btw? heh.

youll know when it grows out if you got it or missed, thats why i just top. lol

 

[Reg Dixon]

it will take a few days to show but it looks close enough. It is a good way to increase growth rates I've found my plants usually take off after being topped/FIMed.

 

[Tonygreen]

if you didnt get enough you will just have half cut fan leaves and still one tip, if so just top it.

Again, watch the cotyledons. Wait for them to lose a bit of green. Probably day 14ish.

Would this apply to autos grown in coco using tap water? peace...bongwater

You missed on that fim cut, most people will its hard to hit perfect thats why I just top. I'd top her now.

Your plants responded well to the topping and show indica genotypical response, the branching and short internode space are a nice plus for you.

Just sit back and let em run now.
