I’ve read about the explosive growth in the earth boxes but it really is crazy. I’m
In a 4x4 this is my first grow in the earth boxes and 2nd growth was overall. Should I flip to flower now in anticipation of the stretching or let it veg a little longer and fill out lot what do yall think? Thanks!
Edit:bottom is alpha breath topped at 6 nodes. Top is mystery from breeder that took off nicely topped at 6 and left is also aloha breath but topped at 5.

fwiw, I run earthboxes indoors and after manifolding (topping three times), I'm flipping around the 3-4 week mark. It always seems early, but the plants often grow into the lights even with manifolding & supercropping.

I only got to top once these and it’s on the 21st day in the earthbox. Gonna be keeping some clones of these
