Short answer... no

 

[fishdeth]

I mean you could....
You'd have to turn the light cycle back and veg then flip later.
Just pop a new seed or 2.....

HOw big are your plants? You may have to cut them back considerably. May not be worth it now. IMHO

Just a couple of shots from tonight. Did some moving and tieing of branches to even the canopy's better.

GR865, Plant looks GREAT !.....^^^

Finished the second part of the first topping.
Remove all growth beneath your 2 new tops.

@gr865 - Looks perfect!

@fishdeth - Textbook first cut! What lights are you using? You could go a little softer on the lighting to help them stretch out a bit more. Nugbuckets used T5s for the vegging process.

I had an LA Con and I gifted a clone to a fellow farmer. Mine were short and bushy and his had nice long colas. He used fluorescent lights for vegging.

Cheers,
Mo

I am running a Phillips Master Color 315w CDM.
The ballast is dimmable to 210w.
I shall try that tomorrow.
Yea... they are not "wanting" for light, that's for sure !

 

[fishdeth]

I topped the third plant today but I'm gonna leave the lower foliage for now to maybe help boost her to catch up a bit.

 

[fishdeth]

After re-reading Nugbuckets tutorial, I removed all growth below the 3rd node on the last plant.
He stresses the importance of that to direct all the plants energy to go to the new tops.
Done!

14 days of 12/12

How would you keep em from branching and get only colas since there all "mains"

Just wanted to post an 8 week update, she is doing great. This plant is going to output way more than the last 2 plants combined. From the same strain! still have about 50 percent clear trics. going to set up some hempy buckets next and try all the crazy seeds that Herbie just sent to me.

NICE!
Plant looks HEAVY !

Got 2 of the 3 tied down with some very soft aluminum wire.
The third one will be a few days behind.
Left a little length on the topping to tie it down with.
