I don't mind bruh;).
I've topped never fimmed. I rarely top though.

If you top you would want to do it in veg never in flower.
Topping good though

I FIM'd my bag seed test plant, and got three main growths. I just started flowering the test plant, and haven't sexed it yet. I've read that by topping or FIM'ing you get more buds/colas, but about the same total yield. What is your experience with this? I was thinking about FIM'ing this weekend as the plants are pushing out their 7th set of leaves right now. I think I read that if you do it later, it's a bad thing.

I actually don't know much on Fiming at all dude.

Doing it too late isn't good I know that.

Topping is to get rid of any new growth and have the plants focus on growing what they already got.
You get more light penetration this way.

These are my nute numbers since the last res update:


10/19: EC 1.7 / 850 ppm; 6.1pH. Add 1/2 t pH down to 5.8pH

10/20: EC 1.8 / 900 ppm; 6.0pH


New res mix:

I used the GH hard water model for "Growth" at full strength:

FloraGrow: 125ml
FloraBloom: 25ml
FloraMicro(HW): 75ml
FloraBlend: 100ml
Floraliscious+: 10ml
SuperThrive: 1 tsp
H2O2 (3%): 10 T

5 gal tap and 5 gal distilled water mixed to EC 2.2 / 1100 ppm @ 6.7pH. Added 2 T pH down for a final 5.7pH.

Plants are about 10" tall and look healthy. I think I am going to start flowering when they hit 15" tall. Bagseed plant has been in 12/12 mode for one week, and I still haven't seen definitive sex traits. I will keep checking every day.

Found multiple Calyx/Pistil locations on my bagseed plant. I've been flowering it for about a week, and have just been setting it in my tent under the MH with my other grow. I'll probably be flowering my good plants next week, so I won't have to pull the bagseed plant out every night.... I'm so grateful that it's turned into a female after all the hell I put it through. Prolly won't be much weight to it, but it'll be my first harvest!

I even found a Calyx/Pistil on the 3 week old PPP plant. The plant has been under 24/7 since it was a seedling, and the lights have never been out. I've read that this can happen on some plants no matter what the age.

Abnjm: Nice journal man! Your plants are lookin gooood, almost like mine. Mine are about 3 weeks and they aren't very tall...but the internodes are close together (I think that's a good thing?) and its bushier than anything...even tho PPP is supposidly a sativa and SW is an indica, they are close to being the same height. One of my SW's is behind the rest in growth even tho they are all the same age. The taproot may not have been out enough when I planted...and the seed shell got stock on the plant itself. Good luck, I'll be watchin.

I was out of town from the 23rd through the 26th. When I got home last night, I found my plants had grown to 15"! I pulled the MH bulb out and switched to my HPS after closing up the tent. I'm going to leave the current nute mix in until Wednesday, and then change out for the transition formulation. All three plants are showing female preflower traits, with no balls to be seen anywhere. It's been approximately 4 weeks of veg. The bagseed plant appears to be making buds, although they are not very big yet. I don't expect much from it, as I tortured it getting my setup dialed in, and it has been flowering off to the side, under MH for over a week. Hopefully the HPS will fatten it up.

Two months to harvest. Merry Christmas to me!

Thanks for stopping by Bud. I have the same problem with one of my SW. I thought it was just stockier than the others, but it just doesn't seem to be keeping up.
