Please tell me you took clones off that purple bud. If that's the same stuff I smoked one time before it's pure fire. I was a true pot head back then and that stuff put me in a coma.

Nah...
I don't fuck w clones...
If I had a bigger operation I would I suppose...
But I jus usually have one...Maybe two goin at a time...All jus personal smoke grown in a closet or small space...
Idk what strain that Purple/Blue plant was...Smelled like lemon pledge cleaner...Had some nutrient deficiencies...Was like the third plant I ever grew...She was a beast n had crazy lookin buds...
I've had a few diff plants I shoulda kept around by cloning... Including the one I have now...She's very special...

I still say start good genetics right off the bat just something easy to grow.

my first ever grow i really didnt mess up bad at all.. I got her to harvest and got 2 oz dry of amazing smoke.

alot of Nirvana's strains are great and easy to grow. I've personally grown their bubbleicious,jock horror,ice and northern lights.

norther lights or skunk #1 are the 2 strains I would tell anyone to start with.

world of seeds (breeder) - afghan kush or even their afghan kush ryder are both easy to grow.. so is their northern lights x big bud

I got some island sweet skunk X ATF coming to me in the mail. Looks amazing.

Yup...Ive grown Bubblicious...And Aurora Indica... Both Nirvana...N World of Seeds Skunk 47...All good strains....
I was jus sayin Bagseed can b good genetics...The grower plays somewhat of a key role in the outcome...

#1, he doesn't smoke, #2 he paid 40 bucks for it, #3 not even sure I want to run it due to heat issues I already have in my grow area.

No doubt. I'm still learning and making huge mistakes, that's why I'm doing what I am.

Decided to be brave here and try a FIM cut. Let's hope I didn't fuck up

The only difference in the way I was taught to pinch my tops is that I end up reaching inside with my fingers and pinching off central/inner growth while leaving the outer growth which I will clarify with my picture.I get two new sprouts with much less recovery time and can and will always pinch again at the next nodes to get my extra main colas. I only said I do it differently not that you were wrong. The only reason anyone is saying anything about allowing more nodes to grow is because it takes longer for the plant to recover when it hasn't had time to establish itself. I know i'm not spouting science in regards to this, but a plant trying to become established and get its roots settled has a harder time recovering from the shock of what topping does because its still trying to figure out what it even is supposed to be doing. Basically it confuses itself for a longer period of time than it would giving it a couple nodes worth of experience and maturity to get over what just happened to it. I can't speculate on the trade off of the time loss occuring by topping it a bit earlier vs the benefits of training it to try and start doing its thing earlier and closer to the soil level. It sure would be nice if we could just get it to start branching out like that right off the bat, but it probably is much more beneficial for the plant to let it establish itself a couple nodes more. Specifically in your case, the plant is already trying to handle whatever issue it is having judging by the appearance(although it still looks just fine, not the best but ur good) and now its going to have figure out where it wants to put its energy towards, figuring out what the hell happened to the top of it, or how to try and feed the growth it already has. This is semi-speculative theory on my end but ur just going to end up waiting a bit longer for it to start doing its thing again.

pinching lower is safer on clones and riskier on seedlings

We shall see what happens.

Strocat can u private mesaage on here i got a couple questions u might could answer for me about mars hydro leds reflector series the 5watt one i think its a 196 series im thinking about tryin it for a auto flower grow vs running my 400watt mh /hps

Update for you guys, will post pics soon. FIM cut worked perfect, I now have 4 main colas. Put it under a tent with my hydro 300w last night. Will upload some pics soon.

After seeing you had incandescent, I had to skip here to make sure you upgraded. Can't wait to see what you can do bro! Ill tag along.

Hahahahahaha yeah, for like 3 days. Everyone was like "Don't do that!!!" So I got LEDS straight away.

Dude, for real, there is an entire LED discussion board, and youre asking in my grow journal. C'mon man.

A pic from when I got her out of the solo cup.

I just put her in a 5 gal fabric too.
