awesome recovery after close call

I'm amazed at the sudden burst of growth my little plant had after being really close to death. This is my first grow and with the limited space I have I am going for bushy plants rather than tall. I topped this one at the second node after seeing a really awesome bushy little plant that was mega topped and fimmed. Anyway a few days after topping it the stem started blackening and leaves started drying up and drooping. I thought it was a goner. After a few more days some new growh started, but looked really weird, little neon green leaves. The first pic was at that point. The second pic is ONE WEEK later. It recovered and just started blowing up and its still growing really fast. pushing out a new node about every 2 days. I almost gave up on her too, so I guess I learned something about the recovery capabilities of this plant. Amazing.

one weird thing though. I must have missed a little or something because I have three tops now instead of two.

Yeah man these plants never cease to amaze me. I started seeds in soil that I never checked the ph of prior to use. Turns out the ph was 4 and i transplanted them a good 3 times in their first 2 weeks of life before my ph crisis was corrected. Long story short they basically didnt grow for a month and almost all the leaves died. Here they are now a month later

4?? lol.......how did that happen? are you sure..........

Same thing happened to me last run lol. Read somewhere here it wasnt necessary to check PH in the first couple of weeks sooo. I notice the girls were not growing and tried ph meter, it was screwed so took a few days to find one. When I finally checked it was like 4.9, ahhhh! The girls survived their ordeal but never did do real well.

you probably shouldn't top until the 5th or 6th node. but yea it's called a "weed" for a good reason.
