Well when i say supercrop i mean top, let the side shoots catch up to the tops, then top everything doubling your bud sights. leaves you with 4 dominant tops, and twice as many side shoot tops.


When you top depends on how much space your going to fill. if your just going to top it id say 5th-8th node. If your going to supercrop, go with 5th.
Also recomend trellis with this strain. It will not support itself even when topped.

Also plan on starting flower a week or two after your last topping. Use that last week or two your plant is recovering from stress to periodically remove any tiny shoots at the base of stems that will not get light. The less *larf* or *suckers* u have down low, the denser your tops are gonna be

I'd suggest LST, lowest amount of stress I can think of that will get you a canopy of tops but I've never grown TW so definitely listen to HydroMD lol.

Very tasty looking nugs Hydro

Soil might be different, but the stems are really brittle in hydro. Even fan leaves will snap right off when you bend them. If you do LST, id pinch the stem where your gonna bend or you will be breaking things!

I top once then do a real light version of LST training with wvery plant i grow except the wrexk!

If you top your cutting a week or two before you take it frim the mother you will start with a plant with 2 stems. I too my mother, then cut it below the 3rd node. Once it roots i bury the stem until 3 individual stems are coming frim the soil. Then just pull each of the three stems out to get light in the middle, and keeping your toos around the same level, or maybe dished around your light.

I took the trellis off to cut fan leaves before flush, but u get an idea

looks healthy friend :) . Maybe a bit pale, but thats just how some strains are (i have one of those, Casey Jones x Green Manalichi) . overall id say it looks nice. sidebranches coming along in a good phase :) . This plant would probably benefit a lot from training. Oh and you can already transplant her if you want. When the leaftips touch the sides of the pot = rootsystem whole pot (more or less) .

Oh sweet, yeah my only concern was that it's a tad pale.. think it must be the strain.
Oh great, i might transplant on the weekend when i have time!
When do you think i should start feeding? I've always been confused with that and just done it when 2 weeks in or something.

when you start to feed depends on how hot the soil is. Meaning how much fertiliser is in the soil. If its well fertilised i would say 4-6 weeks, if lets say you apply at least 4-5 liters of soil per month of growth. Personally i can just tell when its time.. Maybe its a habbit? its not so hard to tell :) . But dont start feeding straight after a transplant or stuff like that. My first grow ever i used 1/2 recommended strenght and had no issues. Dont stress so much, it will all turn out great :) .

Yeah i guess, there's hardly any nute in the soil so i'll transplant on Saturday or Sunday and keep an eye on it, might start feeding shortly though, half strength or maybe even 1/4

My plants don't get fed till just about flower, 5 weeks or so just water feeding and letting the nutes in the soil feed the plant but I'm using FFOF in 5 gal pots.

Updated pictures again, gonna feed nutes next watering which will probably be tmrw.
I've topped her above the 5th node like people said, do i get rid of all the lower growth etc and what do i do from here regards to
growing style.. as i can't be bothered with main line again.

Looking good Goatlicker, she really took up some Nitrogen and darkened up them leaves. I can't help you with super cropping as I only know the theory behind it but have never tried it myself. I think you'd like the results if you were to SCRoG, plus I think it's a fun way to grow.

Yeah she has definitely.
Hmm yeah i scrogged once before and didn't mind it, was kinda annoying though and it was so dense i was worried about mold.
Idk what else to do though, really like main line but it takes so fucking long.
