Is my weed plant topped wrong? its growing sideways

[ErieR33FER]

Okay here it goes:

First off you obviously overwatered. Every pic you have your plant is soaked.let your plant dry out every once in awhile to allow the roots to breathe.

Secondly, you have either over or more likely under fertilized. With all that water yourpumping into that pot your flushing any nutrients the plant has outbecause you have no nutrients, in the soil, and the plant itself.

As for the topping concern that has little to do with it. I topped my plants early for space and they still grew like crazy.

You didn't top it wrong your supposed to have two colas after topping and one empty node in the middle. If you were to fim (please read up on it) you would have those two side colas plus two new shoots beggiining to grow in the middle node as well.

So here's what you do (seriously stop overworrying over nothing): let your plant dry out after waterings for a day or two. Then water when soil is dry on top and on the inside. In a week after she's perked up add liquid fertilizer of your choice (nitrogen dominent) and only use half doseevery watering then when she colours up only fert with full strength every other week.

Finally transplant that. Poor girl into p

FinaLy transplant that poor girl into. A proper medium like pro mix super soil or miracle grow soil, anything that is ment for potted plants.

Do all this andyou may bring her back. But, for the love of the goddess stop drowning her

I put dirt on it bro because I think I topped it wrong.

What

the

Fuck?

As you know there's a huge difference between Northern California and Southern California shoreline environments. You said the sun gets hot, so I'll assume you're at least south of the Bay Area. If you're so close that you're affected by fog and salt spray carried in the wind that would add some complexities.

Summer solstice - the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere - is June 21. After that the days start getting shorter. The difference is minimal at first. By late September the difference from one day to the next is at its maximum, and any outdoor annual plant will know that time is running out.

Cloning is something I know nothing about. Hopefully someone who does know will contribute. Having said that, it makes sense to me that a plant cloned indoors under 18/6 lighting could get very confused when suddenly set outside. Do you know anything about the cloning environment and the lighting schedule? Were you expecting it to go into flower so soon? A photo-sensitive pot plant in California that had spent all or most of its life exposed to the outdoor light cycle would not be going into flower this early.

What does dirt with chips mean? Do you have a brand name?

People have done far worse things to their plants than your topping efforts. I know it's hard, but you have to stop fixating on that. Forget about the top, as difficult as that may be, and concentrate on the plant's overall health.

Oh, hey, I forgot - I've read over and over again on RIU that you should stop topping a plant 2 weeks before flipping from veg to flower. I don't understand why your outdoor plant thinks it's time to flower but you need to put away the clippers and help her get to the finish line.

Or, as some of the guys said, maybe force it back to veg. But I think you'd have to take her indoors and crank the light cycle way up to make her forget about flowering and go back to veg. I'm sure there are limits to this. Once a plant has decided for sure that it's going to spawn and die like a salmon it can't be easy to turn it around. Doesn't matter, 'cause you said you can't do indoor so my uneducated guess is you're stuck with it trying to flower.

June 21 is almost a month away. Most strains have typical flowering times, expressed in weeks. I don't know how long Diamond OG is supposed to run, but if you can keep it alive maybe it'll flower for an extended period?

I bought it as a clone . I didn't clone a plant. I have a bag of soil, its potting mix for like those red Christmas plants or sunflowers it has little dark wood chips in it. I don't know exactly what kind but its just normal soil not the one with the white nutrients in it, and its not moist either. its dry so I just added water to it.

and thanks but if I was to buy another plant and leave it outside starting june 1st is it going to have time to grow fully like a normal plant??? and go through all the phases ?? or should I not waste my money I just want to grow a normal bud plant idc if it turns out great just some bud that's smokeable. yeah I messed that up, I cut it before it even flowered.

ok cool

 

[Mellodrama]

Yeah, I understood that you bought a clone.

Unless someone with lots of cloning experience says otherwise, I think you've got some pretty good starting points. Let the plant dry out between watering. Don't spray the foliage. Get some real potting soil that's mixed for the intended application. Transplant to a bigger container, leaving behind as much of that poinsettia mix (I didn't know there was such a thing) as possible.

No more topping. If you're not going to force it back to veg, just let it grow and see what happens. Before you go buying another clone, maybe you should concentrate on this one.

Do you know anything about the water you're using? Is it city water?

 

[Red1966]

I live in California by the beach it gets windy and the sun is hot, but I have a question. if I buy another clone can I still grow it outside at this time of the year because doesn't summer end in july? or do I still have time

You have time. It should be ready Sept-Oct.

I got no soil like that I cant go get any, and yeah I use water from the hoes should I use bottled water
? and how do I get it back to veg? can you show me where to top it at exactly do you have any good pics of a small plant so I know how to

so I did top it right?!! okay so I do the same to the other two nodes right?

okay but the thing is the weather here is all messed up. one day its sunny the next its windy and then its cloudy lol I hate it I live by the beach that's why and its dry as fuck here

 

[ErieR33FER]

From what I can see you definitely topped it, I would personally take those two fan leaves off the top to allow light to reach the two branches underneath them,which are now your new tops.

Might be a good idea to wait to do that for a bit until you get her healthier and greener.

Just try and follow the good/positive advise on here and she'll be fine, it's not over till the bitch flops over and dies my man.

 

[Red1966]

You can't do anything about the weather except water the plants if it don't rain. Salt spray a problem?

might be because its really hot and dry weather and may turn the leaves brown so it takes all the plants water

cut the leaves off the part where i topped it first?? cut those two leaves off .... or the you mean the new top nodes off the leaves that came out after ? please be specific its hard to know what is what its fucking confusing

 

[ErieR33FER]

There are two fan leaves on the very top above the branches which are the going to be your top right? Those are typically removed as well because they block the light for the branches underneath which are now your two new main top branches instead of the main top which you apparently removed.

The whole point of topping is so you have two top branches which become two main colas, instead of one. Basically When you remove the top it stops the plantfrom growing upward nforces it to grow bushy redirecting growth to the lower branches. It isn't going to give you fatter nugs randomly Just because you topped it, people do it to make squatter, bushier plants as well asto allow for better light coverage.

theirs nothing in the middle though where I cut it the first time the two other branches have tops on them your saying cut those off? completely

cut the nodes off ? ocut just the leaves on the side of the top nodes ...this shit is confusing
