Starting off Im no pro. I have five lovely ladies. Planted in 1 gallon pots. I used about 1/2 Jiffy Mix and 1/2 Peat moss mix. Wally world shyt. I wanted to keep it organic so Ive been using My lil sis bunny shyt to make tea. Seems to work well. They are about 1-2 foot tall and have begun to flower. Ane who I have few questions. I topped three of them an two grew higher and one stayed short? The one that stayed short is doing best and has four longer branches growing from the bottom. Should I trim them off? Thinking about using fish? W/o composting? Do my girls need part/full sun? Ummm well thats it for now sure Ill have more later... Try an get pics up Soon bongsmilie
 
no don't cut the branches, u can top all tops though, make sure your not cutting the stem or any leaves, just the little tiny tops where stem goes into two leaves should be right in the middle of the 2 leaves, look like a tiny little of leaves, cut them out, but not too many at a time cause it can stunt Ur growth, jiffy peat moss is good stuff Ive used it before for my seedlings

Advice ? Yeah, don't grow in four mile cove in Cape Coral ! And give them as much light as you feel comfortable with. You can never give a flowering plant too much sun. Good luck.

So is cutting the newer leaves going to stop the branches from growing taller? There a also a few single leafs sticking out should they be cut? Yeeah The Jiffy is the stuff. I Water ever 2-3 days. Hehe Yeah Any where in florida is not a good place to grow! Yeah they're getting full sun. I Was thinking of bringing them inside at night for more and a lil co2. Is that ok?

at this time of year in florida you should be good, just bring them inside if it starts to storm. and dont put any fish on it without composting first

Those temps won't even remotely harm your plant. It's been around 38 degrees at night here lately and all is well with my plants. So you could leave them outside 24/7 if you wanted to. Also, cutting the leaf will do nothing to stop the branches from growing longer. Cutting the actual leaves is nothing but detrimental to your plants. If you wanted to stop the growth for whatever reason (make it bushier I assume), you will need to cut the growth tips my friend. Maybe you knew this, but worded it wrong. Grow on man.

Hells yea...I Will(I need the practice)and Thanks for the post...You must have some prettty nice girls going..
Does temp have anything to do with the color of you plants? Ive read that colder temps brings the colors out?
So soon I will attempt to cut the all the little leafs out...Also Ive upgrage to 3g pots..Should this be ok to the finish?
