Nice man. 150s work pretty well. i use 3 of them with t5s. but started with just one. that 150 by itself over 3 plants yielded 3 ounces dry. If you top that one plant and then flower it i can tell you will get at LEAST an ounce off that plant if you keep the light close. I'll pray for you to get 3. Good luck.

yes man look at this 3 week old babe that was topped 4 times
1 top =2 colas
2 tops=4colas
3 tops=8 colas
4 tops=16 colas

1 FIM= 4 tops
2 FIM=16 tops
3 FIM= 64 tops!

topping will greatly reduce height in a plant

ya man don't top now you would be pushing your self back. top in veg and then let veg for a week or too and then switch to 12/12 if you want to top. Topping in flowering only slows you down and hurts your yeild overall. Looking good so far, although what are the slight brown tips?

um when I was watering I think I got some on the plant and with it under the light and drying out it ate away at the plants b/c its only at some spots and hasnt showed up anywhere else and moved in other places. on the top cola thats beginning the reason its light green is b/c of getting to close to the light on accident... I believe that is my theory :D

You need to watch the top leaves if they start turning lime green you have a mg deff, the first sign of that is leaf tips browning then the leaves start getting lighter and lighter till they are lime green and veiny looking. And happens within a matter of a week once it sets in.

i am almost positive that the tips are from heat stress,
but if i am wrong do watch out for what fire killa just said, then you will know its magnesium def.

ok if I was to trim some of my branches off while its flowering that doesnt have bud on it to open it up so more light will get to it and more room for the buds to grow will it hurt it?
