Should I top my plants today??
I'm debating it:s

why wait?... If you have more than 1 growth node is all you need really.. but people like to wait till they see 3 4 or 5 growth nodes... I dont. I top and continue toping. Basically you want to give it a 2 or 3 growth node break.

But i feel like your plants had at least 3 on them... Ready to top... Just pull apart the very top leaves a little bit and cut off the nub thats inside. Done... if you want to fim... leave the bottom 1/4 on the nub.

Good luck

and dont freak out when you cut them... :weed:

you dont want to scare your ladies.

LOL. yeah I probably won't scream or anything. The plants are on their 9th node, 8th node, 5th, and 4th.

looks like you have it all under control ill follow this one

So did you top them bitchs Smokedat? If so, then give them a week to grow back, and you can prolly top both of the new stems again, and you'll be able to have some nice bushy plants.

SMOKEDATKU$H · Jan 7, 2009

I'm going to top them in about 15 minutes. I also am going to water them with ph ~6.5 natural spring water. I'll post pics after I top 'em.

SMOKEDATKU$H · Jan 7, 2009

Well I just topped 3 plants. Hope it works well.
Here are the pictures.
Is it ok if I water them now or should I wait a bit?

SMOKEDATKU$H · Jan 7, 2009

Does it look like I topped them properly?

Thundercat · Jan 7, 2009

Ya they look good man! Now each of those spots should sprout out 2 or more new stems in the next day or two. Then once they each have 2-3 nodes, top them again. You can do it a third time if you really want, or you can wait another week or 2 after the second topping, and flower them. At some point in the mix you will take some clones I would imagine if that is your plan.

Yup. That's what the plan is. Hopefully flowering will begin in 2-3 weeks. Yayy lol

I'm tryin man, I'm really pushing for this weekend to have seeds germing. Theres just been some bumps in the road. I have to say the mushrooms have been alot of fun in the mean time. I actually have to get some more of those started today. I've been being lazy for the last week.

Good to see everything going well, thought I'd stop by and say "Hey" :mrgreen:

I usually water mine about once every 2 days. i found out it just started to rot the root ball and made it very hard to grow thick trunks. it is possible to over water and drown. you can always go to a garden store and buy a tool that'll tell you how dry/wet your soil is

Thanks for all the help man. I appreciate it.
I'll post pics soon to show how the topping progresses. :weed:

SMOKEDATKU$H · Jan 8, 2009

Checked on the plants today. There is no real amount of growth where I cut, but the plants are really starting to fill in and the lower growth is growing really fast. How long should it take for the plants to start growing where I cut?

Thundercat · Jan 8, 2009

Prolly a day or two I would think. They will get goin.

genfranco · Jan 8, 2009

week or so

MrHowardMarks · Jan 8, 2009

Yeah, since you cut the growing top, all of the growth is evenly split between the remaining branches... You'll se a big differance in a week...

It's hard to judge day to day, just look at pics you took a week ago to see how fast they're growing...

SMOKEDATKU$H · Jan 8, 2009

Cool. Sorry for asking again but when should I reintroduce supplements & nutes? I really don't want to burn my babies but faster growth would be awesome.
Thanks

How am I doing?
