Look healthy, nice root system. So far so good, whatever you do don't overwater, that is the biggest mistake most people make when starting out! I'm going to subscribe to your grow, peace!

nice to see you start another one man . good luck
are they feminized seeds ?

 

[hiitsbob]

yes they are both feminized this time. out of the 2 should def be able to produce one female.
if one is male one is female might try to harvest seed from part of the female.

day 15
just getting into veg stage full force.
waited til 6th node was just popping out to top.
topped at 2nd true node. the one in the blue bucket has leaf growth near both cotyledon.
they were both about 6-7 inches wide and 3 inches tall.
i am very impressed with the growth of the liberty haze so far nice lush green with a bit more node spacing than the last male i grew(bagseed).
the last pic shows day 14 when i topped my first plant. i would say the lib haze a bigger but that might be from under watering the first grow.

Looks great man.. Topped the shit out of that plant . That blue bucket looks like my chopped down 5gal lowes buckets. sub'd

 

[hiitsbob]

yup you are def right on the blue bucket ran out of 3 gallon buckets with all my indoor veggies going.
topped it via uncle ben method which gets 4 mail colas.

 

[siq]

Wow man, looks great! keep up the great work!

 

[Sincerely420]

I'm def. impressed with the plant production once you top is after the 2nd true node! You'll end up with 4 or 6 SOLID mains bro!
I've got a couple that I topped the same exact way, which are about 3 weeks or so from finishing!
Was gonna work on mainlining until I discovered "Uncle Bens" topping suggestion!

Good luck with the grow bro

 

[hiitsbob]

i believe in mainlining and uncle bens you are doing the same thing with topping at the 1st or 2nd node depending if you want 2 or 4 main colas.
for about the last week i have noticed by the cotyledon on one plant there is leaf growth coming out. cut it off or let it go?
just watered both today split a gallon between the 2 had about quart runoff from both plants.
thanks for the luck i need it after last grow ended up being male.

I've always topped mine at 3rd True node... I got 10 top colas on my last 2 because of it and the odd one was 6 tops

Nice then that makes two of us as far as what we believe lol and regarding the cotyledons, just let them die.
If anythings more than 50% dead I usual remove it. Otherwise I just let it chill until it's ready to die

 

[hiitsbob]

i could care less about the cotyledon they will fall off. i mean there is actual l little jagged leaves growing.
hey mario not sure about what you got going on but from what i have read and understood is if you top above 2nd true node you are getting just that tops not main colas.
if done right above 2nd node you should get 4 dominant colas of the same size. read up a bit on mainlining and uncle ben's topping get different results as what you explain.
if you go above 3rd node your top 2 branches are most likely the dominant one with the fastest growth. with mainlining and uncle ben's they all grow at the same rate.

 

[MarioMadness]

When I talk about 10 coals I mean 10 coals lol.. I had 10 top Colas all the same size lol.. It was a bush! should of tied her down or put a screen. but I do what works for me lol. Also theses are from my last grow

 

[hiitsbob]

that is it buddy do what works for you and makes you happy.
read a bit more about topping and topping to get main colas def a whole different idea and why it actually ceates different results.
that is what this and life is all about if everyone did it the same we would be still growing one top christmas tree looking plants.
not that there is anything wrong with it just would be boring all pics would look the same.

 

[hiitsbob]

this is 2 days after topping. i am very pleased once again.
in the first row show the growth near the cotyledon. think i should trim this? i am thinking so to give all the growth to my 4 mains.
another day or 2 and the one in the black pot will be as wide as the pot plant is almost 9 inches wide. the other is about 7 1/2 inches.
worked on my grow room a bit and made it airtight these were stinky little plants.
also upped my wattage to 276w. with 12 cfl's 9 5000k and 3 2700k
with box sealed with better circulation from floor to top of box double my wattage and temps did not rise at all. they are staying right at 77 the outside temps have risen making temps about 1-2 degrees warmer than 2 weeks ago.

Bro, that cotyledon isn't adding or taking away from the plant at this point lol. Those are the "starter" leaves lol. Your girls are very much "started" already lol!
LIFTA when you can! Im not assuming your a rookie like me lol, I'm just saying incase you didn't think of it already

Nice light combo as well with the 3:1 mixed spectrum

 

[hiitsbob]

i am saying i have never had node growth out of where the coyledon is.
i have had a few outdoor grows nothing inside except my last male.
have always grow gardens and trees if you can grow anything well cannabis is no different.
inside is nice you get to play the role of mother nature and see every little tweak a how it helps the plants.

 

[Sincerely420]

Ahh I gotcha, you just got a low first node I guess. From cotyledon to first sets of leaves are consider a node!

You'll def. get to notice the smallest things and the smallest changes indoor since you'll be right over your girls in comparison to outdoors!

I do know your gonna be very pleased with that topping scheme tho. I know I'm LOVING it
