No you almost cannot lst too early IMO. You can top too early, but LST is very forgiving.

Are they growing quickly?

I'm doing my first soil grow right now, in the seedling stage. So I am not an authority.

My plan is to go directly from the solo cups they are in to the final pot size - 5 gallon airpots. This is based on general feedback from soil growers.

I think I would repot now to the final size. Big roots and all.

I hear you. Its really confusing to us newbies when there are so many spectacular growers out there that do it differently. Sometimes instructions are contrary.

I'm transplanting seedlings to 5 gal on the advice of growers I trust. But there are many ways to do it no doubt.

Did you start them in 1 gallon pots or solos?

I usually get 2-3 weeks out of a solo cup, so you could prolly get 4 or 5 out of a 1 gallon pot.

And as far as flipping to 12/12, i like to shoot for 16-26 inch plants at flip, but its strain dependant.

16-20 for sativas, and 22-26 for indicas.

i started in the 1 gallon pots this time but i normaly go from solo cup to 3 gallon pots except for autos which is straight to finishing pot . i have
been waiting for 8 weeks before i flip i might go a lil longer this time
for the 12/12 part i was just wondering how long before you flip should u transplant i mean would you want to transplant and flip 2 days later ?

Ha, my bad i shouldve read the rest of your post lol.

I usually go solo cup to 5 gallon so 80% of my veg is done in its final container. Usually its anywhere from 6 to 8 weeks from transplant to flip for me.
 
2nd day of week 5 i transplanted these from 1 gallon pots on 6/7 and i watered each with a half gallon of water
the plants look ok but seems like they would need watering by now . i do not know where im going wrong

@Aqua Man what do you think about the watering situation ?
Click to expand...
There is no real wrong man… just more optimal…. Well for the most part.

The plants look great so i would just water when they need and don’t overthink it to much.

In my coco 1 gal pots with high light and co2 when they first went into the 1 gal it could be days before i needed to water in peak it was 14x a day.

As the olant grow into the pots the watering needs will increase and in a small pot increase a lot.

What media is that again?
 
reused pro mix premium moisture control organic , the stuff i was talking about the other day that if u saturate it will stay wet for weeks so you cant water till runoff . i have used it long enough to figure out how to water the 3 gallon pots 3/4 a gallon and water every 4 or 5 days but now i have switched to the 5 gallons .
i have been trying for 3 years to water like most of you guys every 2 or 3 days but i just cant seem to get there
my plants look ok to me will except for that lil fucker so maybe i am just overthinking things

Yeah its the media. Promix HP would be a better option. Are you set on organics?
 
well in my last few grows the watering i thought was ok it would be like every 3 or 4 days a half gallon and then later on it was 3/4 gallon every 2 or 3 days in 3 gallon pots but now im in 5 gallon pots
it's only like the bottom 2 or 3 inches are staying wet longer would that be the water saturation zone
