Ever seen a topped seedling?

[jacksthc]

It should be a good one though last one took way longer to recover but the other one had 4 new shoots

not a bad ideal topping them young, keep them out the way under a low watt light for a few weeks till they bush out
I just removed the larger fan leaves every week and the plant stayed very short and bushy, i didn't stunt the plant growth just gave me loads of shoots
flowered it off after 4 weeks ( they where only 6" high and 6" wide) pot 4 plants up under a 600w and flowered that day, they filled the room in 3 weeks and gave me a good yeild

I top young and early. I keep them under full power. 432 watts t5. Only eight inches from the soil. I also left fan leaves.

This warm spell caused my temps to hit the 90's. Its cooled down and they are on the mend.

Idk depends how early supposedly its bad real stressful on seedlings but my first one was a regular seed this one is a fem so I'm hoping its a less chance of a Hermie might not even keep it depending how it grows out

I think Hermie is down to a weak strain more than anything else
the most stress full thing you can do is cut a stem and force it to grow roots,
topping a young seedling is not going to cause it that much stress

Well this is a good strain every seed I've germed rooted quick and sprouted quicker def gonna keep this strain around and its some purp can't wait for some budsman but I'm going for a decent veg so I gotta be patient

How olds that seedling in the pic? Looks like it might be a nice plant. I had one that grew spiral leaves for weeks before it even grew upwards I was just watching it like "what on earth...." lol
