I wasnt really sure. I thought she looked kind of short so I have been letting her go in veg longer. Am I going to get a lot more height once in bloom? It's a Mars Hydro II 400w led I'm using. Has two settings veg and bloom and I just have it on veg.

I'm going to switch soon. Got a 7 foot grow tent so if it doubles it's gonna be tight for ventilation and lights to fit above it.

It wouldn't hurt to top it before going to flower. It will shorten the plant, bush it out and increase yield with that led.

depends on the genetics how much it`ll grow during flower some plants get 50% to 400% taller and bigger others just bud up and don`t get too much taller but them ones normally get fat and sticky fast (normally indica doms)

I would flip it to bloom one or 2 weeks before or 1 or 2 weeks after you flip

Hmm like I said could be airflow, cal/mag, N diff, hell could be root bound even a P or K diff you can see the plant we can`t, does it have good airflow ?

Maybe the roots hit the "hot soil" at the bottom your top/new growth looks a bit lighter in colour like its getting some extra PK from somewhere, I`d just flower it up if its a good size

Topping her scares the hell out of me. How do you know where to cut?

you just fuck up the bits you don`t want to grow or that you want to double up

you can cut some bits off

normally a good squeeze of the top or tops can do the job or even just some lst bend the steam or bruise it to make a knuckle while that bits healing the lower parts of the plant catch up to the top

A few ways of doing it, FIMM`ing is normally the most popular to get the most tops, but sometimes just going for 2 to 4 tops or mainlining can be less work, as if you end up with loads more buds but there all smaller that can mean a lot more trimming to do

You want more bud sites but you don`t want to lose too much bud size

Sometimes topping then removing most of the lower growth a week or 2 later is best also gives you cuttings to clone
