Update 4/13/2018
Moving right along
The Tangie are really chugging along and trying to get big quick… here is a few pics in the sunlight.
The Blueberry are a couple days behind but they are coming along too.
As you can tell from the pics they are lookin’ a little hungry.
The Transplant
So there was a round-table on Discord #overgrow and it was decided they are ready to go to the larger smart pots.
I don’t like transplanting.
During the process one of the root masses kinda fell apart on me! Oops! I threw it on in there though and here we are about 14 hours later and everyone seems to be doing well in there new permanent homes. 3 gallon smart pots. They really fill up the big mixing tub I am using as a drainage pan. Side by side they were pressed right against each other so I had to stagger them. I cut up one of the solo cups and used it as plant labels.
The lighting/camera make it look yellower than it really is. More bright green.
Aftercare
After transplanting I watered the Tangies with 1ml CaliMagic + 3g/gallon MegaCrop. pH to 5.7. Approximately 1/2 gallon each (since the plants are small and it was late and I didn’t feel like mixing up more! 
)
The Blueberry received the remaining gallon of 1g/gallon MegaCrop solution. I didn’t want to waste this solution, plus the Blueberry are supposed to be a little finnicky with the nutes and they are younger than the Tangie. It was split 2 ways for about a 1/2 gallon each. They will be upped to 2 or 3g/gallon at next watering. I am definitely considering a small Blumat setup! I can see where all this mixing 1 gallon at a time would get tiresome.
Moving forward
My relative humidity has been sitting around 37-42%, and temperature about 75F. According to this chart I am well outside the green zone as far as VPD goes, so I will likely be purchasing a humidifier soon. I may wait and see how the weather warming up affects things.
I also bit the bullet today and ordered 3 more SolStrip X2’s from @Baudelaire to be added to the tent when I flip to flower. Yay!

MEGA UPDATE - 5/25
So… I am a lazy bastard sometimes and it’s been a while since I updated the thread and a whole lot has happened since! Look how little they were! Well let’s get to it.
4/18 - Moving right along…
4/25
5/1 - TentCam view
5/8 - Starting to get big
5/15 - We have a male and a female… the male was… well, let’s just say we are pursuing a different direction around here.
5/22 - A shot of before the male was removed and after.
I think this is actually a good thing because I wouldn’t have had enough room otherwise.
I made a mistake lol… go figure! I have vegged for a bit too long trying to let the Blueberry make up some of the height differential… I have created a Tangie monster!
You may also notice the orange hose. Hand watering was becoming a PITA and time-consuming, even with the 2 gallon Chopin sprayer I picked up, so I went ahead and got some of the 5" Tropf Blumats and a 5 gallon bucket reservoir. OMG these things seem to be working wonderfully and such a time saver! I like!
Also I added 3 more strips for flowering - driven at 125W for a grand total of ~325W and 8 strips. That puts me at a solid 40W per square foot.
5/23-5/25 - @Mr.Sparkle’s FlopTek to the rescue.
So I put the trellis on and it helped spread the Tangie out a bit but it was still way to tall! What to do? Well I was smokin’ a bowl and perusing OG and came across @Mr.Sparkle’s thread where he was pinching a 1-2 inch section of the stem crushing the inner structure and then “flopping” the stem over to control height in his cab. Well, if he can do it then I can to! So after some consultation on the OG Discord we decided the plan was sound. So I got to floppin! I ended up bring it down about 9-12 inches and I think it is going to be much more manageable.
And here we are at Day 8F. I am going to try and get back to updating once or twice a week. If you want daily updates come check out the official OG Discord - lot’s of good convos, information and smart people there!

They just keep growing! =] Day 14F
I am currently feeding right at 5g/gal of MegaCrop along with House & Garden Drip Clean. The Blumats are working out awesomely! Would totally recommend them for anyone who is looking for automated watering w/o the pumps, etc… (though they are pump friendly).
The Tangie is still out of control 
but I’m doing my best to keep it in check. Have a look… Also the Blueberry is finally starting to exhibit some vertical stretch. As you can see in the back on the right it has almost caught up to the height of the Tangie, and I see the beginnings of the stretch happening on the BB in the front as well.
And here are some closer-ups:
The Blueberry
The Tangie
Other happenings…
A couple days ago I noticed some grey wispy cotton-candy lookin’ mold growing on the surface of the soil in one of the plants! UGH. So after a bit of research I got some standard 3% H2O2 (hydrogen peroxide) and put it in a spray bottle and misted the affected area and it pretty much vaporized the mold on contact… well oxidized I guess . So I’ll be keeping an eye out for that, I think I need to add another fan to the mix. Can anyone recommend any other preventative measures?
Well that’s all for now folks!

As long as the mold stays in the soil, it is probably beneficial as it helps nourish the microbial life.
Increased air flow should do the trick.

You could let the medium dry out on the surface a bit more. That should keep it down and yeh plenty of fresh air circulation is essential

Yes, I’m hoping this is the easy prevention plan here. Fans are cheap and easy. It’s actually coco (Royal Gold Tupur) by the way.
I’m using Blumats (gravity fed drip system)… The affected area wasn’t even close to the drip site - other side of the pot even.

The mold could also be a surface based mycelium fungus and as mentioned above @Albannach extra airflow would help with that, but all that its showing right now is that your media may be running a bit too wet, thus the growth of the white fuzz.

Well mold or fungus it’s gone now and hasn’t reappeared yet. 
I’m not taking my chances with it.

Nice 
@KingGhidora ,…!
That’s a few massive plants I’ve seen recently under the solstrips, are you gonna start bending stems or can you lift your lights higher… there’s probably more stretching left, etc… what’s your plans - defoliate after 3 weeks and lst.?
Good luck whatever, im gonna watch this play out mate,
Happy growing bud ,
Gaz
Ps. Im using megacrop too and so far ,it’s been excellent…

I’ve already flopped them over once and I have been weaving through the trellis - I can’t imagine how big they’d be without that LOL. Defoliation below the trellis is coming Real Soon Now
