Thank you for replying, yeah its a sativa dominant white widow, I'm guessing its supposed to look like that. So, you'd suggest that I start giving her some NPK and macro right? Yeah I realised its better to wait till she grows a bit more before I top her, maybe let the branches at the nodes grow a little before I top her cause I'm gonna top her at the 2nd node despite the growth of those 3 nodes, Shouldn't be a problem right?
I’d need to know what kind of water you are using and what medium as well. As far as the topping, what exactly do you mean top at the 2nd node? The 2nd true node? In my experience I only suggest topping at the highest new growth, anything lower is just wasted time and energy but I could be interpreting your question wrong.
Yo, I'm using tap water but I make sure the ph is between 6-6.5, I'm using this organic potting soil mix with coco peat, manure, vermicompost, added some perlite. It already has a few nutrients but I doubt they're strong enough as required for the plant. I gave her a first very small meal yesterday, not too early to start feeding her right? You got my question right btw, if you cut it down upto the 2nd node, you'll create 4 main colas instead of 2. https://www.rollitup.org/t/uncle-bens-topping-technique-to-get-2-or-4-main-colas.151706/
Yeah thank you for replying, I do plan to follow Uncle Ben's plan but he claims that you can cut it as your 3rd node develops. Do you think its too soon for me to top her? I wanna keep her short and bushy so I guess manifolding is the way to go? or Is it alright if I just top her LST her ?
So I should remove the cotyledons and the first jagged set with the single leaf too after topping her? Pretty open to all suggestions lmao
I would decide what you want to do...manifolding, mainline and this uncle Ben thing all sound a little different. Pick one and go with it. Growweedeasy.com has a few tutorials on the main and mani steps.
A healthy green plant can be topped as Uncle Ben says. Yours is healthy enough now to top. If you are following Ben, do it and you can even consult with him in his thread!
Yeah no I'm totally for the Uncle Ben's method, its how I have it in mind but the cotyledons and that first set is surely useless considering my cotyledons are already dried up and there's a light burn on that first set. So I might as well chop them off. I cannot afford to mainline or manifold ( lack of time and patience lol) but ill try to shape her the best I can after the topping. Also you suggested I wait for a lil more root growth , how would I get to know that (using a clay pot) or how much longer do you think should I wait? Thanks buddy
You're definitely a comfort creator, ill give you that. I want to top her so bad but I can't see Uncle Ben's account anymore, pretty sure ill go ignored there after I top her.
Im not sure about the genetics of the seed, hence a little worried about going ahead with it but she does looks healthy, doesn't she? Imma take up ur positivity and just do it lol. Thank you buddy
Do it.
5-7 nodes will ensure good root growth and less impact to plant after you chop everything off.
