Thanks mate! Do you think by looks they might still fatten a little? Im really happy with how they look i always used to top and LST my plants since my first grow last year to this grow where i was advised to let the plants take their natural course and see how i like it. Whether or not that will yield the same we will see
Topping reduces bud size if you fail to remove the additional sub-nodes it creates. If you clean up the branch to the top nodes then flip to flower you will mitigate that issue. basically getting rid of "sucker branches" or those little nodes coming out from above fan leaves lower on the plant. Also a big mistake is removing fan leaves that are healthy. Always pluck away unhealthy leaves though..
You definitely have a green thumb if this is your first few grows. Those look beautiful. Nice setup by the way. Really clean.
Usually week 6-7 are the final swelling weeks for all the strains I've grown at least. Impressive that you did that well in DWC for your first few grows. Usually DWC is a nightmare.The pictures uploaded are mid week 6 And thanks mate I’ve really been trying to improve as much as i can and have put a fair bit of money into set up snd good quality kit. I Run DWC btw. Hopefully they may get bigger but if not I’ll still be happy with what they are
I’ve been quite lucky as i have been guided by a guy whose grown DWC for many years so that’s useful. I do like growing DWC but there is a lot to keep in mind as you say
Its nice thats how i learned too off a guy who did it 15 years. So i started with every vegetable known to man then moved to weed. Its easy once u dial in your set up but problems happen fast if ph isnt maintained i find. Bad ph pen is the worst lol.
Yea I’ve been there and had the issues!! Its worth the 30seconds every day to check it
Hi mate! On my first dwc grow I managed 25oz from 9 with 2x600w hps and yes i do but speaking to a few people on here they say topping is only more effective if you remove the lower growth/bottom 1/3 of the plant which i never did. I have some seeds now and i will be removing the lower suckers and see how it turns out
I dunno ive pulled 12 oz off 1 plant without removing suckers but instead having cfl’s in bottom running uptop just 1 1000hps but i average 7oz. I do mainline everything though 3 toppings for 8 colas. This time im trying only 2 tops for 12 colas on amnesia and 2 tops 4 colas on purp haze. Just wanna see the difference. I dont ever pull a bud off it makes great hash and oil if its too larphy and nobody ive seen turns down a jar of larphy bud when its free and gets u high haha.Hi mate!

I agree it all smokes up lol! But the main pro for me is the trimming is a massive ass ache and especially with the little wispy bottom buds. Wouldn’t mins trimming just big buds they are easy.
