OK, thanks for that, I started forcing yesterday, I guess I will wait until I top them.
How long after topping should I wait to force?

How tall would they get if I forced them now, at 5 and 4 inches? The cans are ~4 foot tall. Also, I can stop forcing at 6 weeks, correct?

Thanks for the warning, but they are only covered at about 6 PM, and don't really receive direct sunlight. Temps have cooled down a lot now as well, only 85* today,

The more time you actually spend working with your various plants and just trying to get real world experience, supplemented with forums, you will become a proficient greenthumb in no time.

Thanks for the advice.

One more question for now... would you guys say natural harvest time would be late November for Socal?

Thanks for the help, and I welcome any more criticism/advice.

EDIT: I think I am going to do LST instead of topping now. Thoughts? Will research some more.
