ye im def gunna trans plant im also considering topp ing it to encorage it 2 be more bushy

I'd LST if you're going to do anything mate. If you top that you might not have enough leaf surface area for it to make it through the ordeal. You want a plant to be thriving before you chop its head off. At any rate you can always top later if you must so long as you can control when it flowers. Or just let it go as @OzCocoLoco says

Well, nothing like gathering the supplies for a good game of "hide the poo"[/QUOTE]

Doesnt surprise me. I rented a house with a leak in the septic tank out the back and it ran a little river from the leak down the backyard and under the neighbours bedroom window. It was like a stinky nature-corridor until it got fixed. plants love poo

When a plants pushing hard you can top and it still takes a week or so for it to get its momentum up

Yep. you see a lot of posts around riu saying that a healthy plant won't even notice it. I've grown some bloody healthy plants in my time and they all miss a beat or 2 when you lop a few nodes off

My lounge room lizzard theres no knats flying around i heard theres red mites that are good is it possable the mites i had are where aeting the knat larvea and both populatons will leave im considering putting it back in the tent how do u think shes looking would u say that looks healty i think shes amonth or 2 old eatjer way i know shes nothing speciel thoView attachment 4019070 View attachment 4019071

Topping a seedling with less than 6 nodes is almost the worse thing you could do. I don't top them till around 8 nodes

okay i might just let it go i dont no how developed the root ball is i might just take out abit of soil the put a inch or two above when i hit root reason being it to dry out a bit ti wanna be able to water in some mykos some rhizo and tje water suplimant i got 40 mls of rhizo per ten liters would that be about 3 mls a liter iv been foliyer feeding it rizo but i dont think its taking up anything but it must cuse its stretched alot plus its grown thise little leaves ill probably just give it a week or two mabe i can keep untill i can take a few clones and flower them

 

[dopeonarope]

For everyones info in case you grow it, my black D.O.G. did not enjoy being topped one bit so dont do it.

I know hey ! How can't a plant not notice that it's main growing shoot is missing? As you said before about oxins there's a thing called apical dominance so of course it's going to mess around with its growth

 

[giglewigle]

im confuse with the topping thing i ment like the newest node thats the at the top i ment taking that of not a few nodes iguess it wood be 1 node not even like the newest shoots at the top

Just leave the poor thing alone lol.

eather way cheers for all the help boys ill prob just keep foliyering it with some rizo and maybe some em1 untill its dry enough to give it some water

Yeah that's topping or tipping,well that's what I've always known it to mean.

Yeah I grew 2 last year and the stockier early flowering pheno was the same as that

So just keep doing that then. Plants want to grow all by themselves all your trying to do is help them along a bit

The grass is definitely greener at my septic drain.

you prob already know but the main reason to top is to change the growth structure of the plant as a whole. thats why you grow to around 8 nodes, top the plant (leaving 4 usually) so that they become the dominant colas. chopping the top off that would just be butchering it (and not a great spot to get your clones from anyway as they take a while to root from the top of the plant. but your going to leave it alone anyway aren't you
