this is a pic of one of the plants im budding right now, it had four shoots very shortly after i chopped it and i think its normal. I tied the other growth down to the sides of the pots and they are growing bigger colas now and they get alot more light.
They look fine i wouldnt worry about it, im trying to see what gives me the most bud 4 smaller ones or my other plant with ONE BIG one:)
Those plants are getting damaged by the fan being so close and possibly heat problems as well.
You can also notice that you have an ec imbalance,this is why the leaves are all drooping in that manner:blsmoke:

I think you should post some new pics it didnt appear as if anything was wrong to me? I'm also no expert at this yet. I will experiment for awhile before I choose to crop or do one cola and it may depend on the veriety.
I am big on plants in general so its all just another adventure to me. So nothing i have grows at my house anyhow, but i do have a husband who would be happy to arrest me:) I was just curious why you wanted to know if that was me. might you wish you could come arrest me? HaHa :)

This is normal Some strains can produce up to 5 or 6 new sites after topping. I have seen up to 7 in my own grows. Thats called a sea of green. Where nothing but tops are exposed to the best light to increase productivity. Of cours you have to decide if its really more or if you should just grow stalk style with on solid cola about 2 feet long and 4 to6 inches around.

Just keep snipping in 24/0 light and in theory you can make new tops forever or until the bush collapsed under its own weight:blsmoke:

Well i am going for 50 tops from one plant next time i grow.
Had some helicopters sniffing around the other week so ive shut it down for a while to see what happens.
I have never found any problems with topping tops so far apart from the fact that i end up even more caned and have more weed:blsmoke:

need an answer if ya know. I have 40 plants bout 2 weeks into flowering. there are only 4 that are showing no sign of sex, but the rest that I find it hard to beleive are female, show pistils coming from the flowers, and some under the flowers. so my question is can male plants grow pistals from the flowers like females
Its my first grow, and my first time sexing, so all I have to go by are some crumby links and photos online. or anybody that knows the answer, please help, I need to transplant again, and to do so , I need to eliminate almost half of my plants, I just dont want to waste any good possible females..
can anybody help me, I need to know weather to give away a bunch or chop up a bunck tonite. Or if you recomend to leave them be for a bit longer, even though some are getting so rootbound, that some of the bottom leaves are wilting

How big are your pots?
What medium are you growing in?
What strain are you growing?
What lights are you using?
What are you feeding them?
Anything with balls is a male or a hermie,if there are no balls and only pistils they are females.
Here is a pic of a young male.


And here is a young female.
