1. That question is impossible to answer, but my 3 foot plant yielded 2-3 ounces dry..
2. You can top whenver, i like to start at the 4th node
3. You can lst anytime, depends on how you want to do it
4. Yes you can get worm castings bat guano..etc. but its easier to go buy a bottle of organic nutes
5. Yes smoke is harmful..Do not smoke in room!!


hope its a girl, cuz you can do shiiiiit with male

I smoke pot in my room all day. Open tent, its just me smoking and usually does not get real smokie unless i have a few friends over. I'm sure its not good but if done sparingly it should not have any adverse effects on your plants. cigarettes give everything cancer including your plants, u should stop. :D Heres one of my exo chesse's. :leaf: :leaf:

as far as nutes/additives, I have tried quite a bit of samples on my little plants and the ones they have best responded to is:

Fox Farm Big Grow 1 teaspoon per gallon
Earth Recharge compost tea .4oz per gallon of water vigorously shaken ( they get this once a week)
Flying Skull Elite Grow 3 1/8 teaspoons + Flying Skull Elite Micro 3 1/8teaspoons to one gallon of water
Photosynthesis Plus 2oz per gallon of water - amazing stuff my plants love it
Cal Mag plus by bontanicare is good if you need some calcium/mag works well i use like a 1/4 of a cap full
Dyna Gro GROW- i did use it once BUT its not as potent so im guessing you would probably have to the full recommended dosage because i used half and it did really nothing. I THINK.
Super Thrive- i use superthrive with seeds and seedlings the first 5 days misting the soil with it and also the first soil soak with superthrive, I also germed in superthrive water for 72 hours and those seeds grew quick!
