I don't know if I should try to LST this or not. Should I keep things going as is? Any opinions? Yesterday I started using Liquinox 10-10-5. Don't really know anything about it but figured I would try it. I did half the recommended dose.

You could try lst or topping just to try it out and get familiar with it.
I would either not add nutes yet or do less than half dose every other watering. They dont need it this early in yet and will often burn the plants

Ok I will hold off on nutes for now. Thanks for the info. Heres some new pics. I think I will let this one do its thing and LST another. If it works out I will post pics.

We'll call this Yum... Thats what I thought when I opened the bag I found this seed in.

Temps have been on average 77 with humidity around 48%. I added a little liquinox 10-10-5 to last nights watering. I don't know anything about it but figured I would try it. Any suggestions or comments are always welcome.

Can anyone tell me if Yum is an Indica, Sativa, or hybrid? This is all new to me. From what I was reading it seemed like Indica had fatter leaves with seven fingers. While sative seem to be skinny with nine fingers. Some of this plants leaves have seven while others have nine. Bottom leaves being 7 and nine as it goes up. Also it seems to becoming bushier rather than taller. Is this just an Indica or could it be a hybrid? Any help would be much appreciated.

I'm now running 5- 23w 6500k cfl and the 1- 125w 6400k. I just measured Yum hes around 10" now. I'm hoping to have a 400w hps next week. I'll give it one maybe two more weeks till i start flowering. Looking at everyones CFL grows on here is making me very hopefull.
Yum is starting to yellow around the lower leave tips, the buttom 4 went complete yellow and fell off. Nitrogen problem? I've only used fert. twice. I'll try and post pics later today.
