I was just going to let my outdoor girls grow naturally this year, because I can’t remember the last time I’ve grown without topping, but I think I’m just going to top them to prevent having a huge main cola that will be more prone to mold.

how many times people typically top plants outdoor?
Not sure my friend this is my first go around, thats why im here! Hell i just got thru my first one lastnite lol Guess it just depends on size & health of the girl/girls the good ppl here are more experienced than me they will help, but if you want my un-educated guess id say 2,3 mayb more depending on health & time left in the grow season! just ask ? & read thats what i did✌

Looking Nice! Im confused as usual i got 20 feminized GSC Extreme seeds from ILGM back in Nov i gave 10 to a friend in Calif all are female, gave 4 to a friend here in Nv he sent me pics said they are all males wtf! im kinda at a stand still with my 6 until i find out sex, i dont want to drive 130mi to Reno for everything to transplant them in 45 gal or so pots to find i have males.he has been growing a long time so i hope he knows his shit. i asked him to send me better pics, they are about 5,6wks i guess he said! What are the odds of all 4 being male? he also stated a breeder in Oregon or something said if the seeds are old they can do that, got me more confused lol

Sounds like your friend is trying to sex the plants too early and just doesn't know how to tell. That plant isn't showing sex yet. I've grown a lot of fem seeds from ILGM and have never had a single male. I'm not saying mistakes don't happen, but I've never had anything but females from their fem seeds, and the same goes for another grower local to me who has grown a lot of their fems.

Hi Everybody, Looking for some advice about topping my girls, they are outside an about a month old almost a 1ft with the 7th node just starting & will be going in 30 or 45 gal pots! Im getting conflicting opinions on if i should top or not! Anyone got some guidance for me? Thanks✌
i would let it grow tbh, for outdoor, maybe some crazy ass lst?

i agree i think he is smoking to much, ive always read good things about ilgm so ill trust mine will be female. Im no expert by any means but i grew 2 pathetic little girls that someone gave me last year they put like 4 seeds in a solo cup how they survived ill never know but i managed to seperate 2 and they ended up female so i seen the process! Thanks for the input

I’m not trying to be argumentative but don’t those preflowers look male? I’ve circled in red. I’ve been yelled at about this before so please don’t take it personal. But I grow unfeminized seed and when I see a ball on a stem like that with no pistil, I think male. Granted, I have seen weird preflowers go the other way and turn out female, but doesn’t he at least have a basis for suspicion?
