hope you planted that top. widow doesn't take kindly to topping. It yeilds more, faster, if you trim the bottom 1/3 just before its ready to go into flowering, and them trim the bottom again two weeks into flowering. Two week old vegging plants should be left alone to grow. I can show you pictures. VV

I Thought I Let Them Grow A Bit Big This Time To Be Honest , B4 Staring Lst
I Normally Start Lst As Soon As Possible
Them Widows Can Take A Good Battering Never Have Any Trouble At All With Them Thats Y I Dident Mind
My M8 Usually Topps His White Widow An Theres Never No Problems They Always Looks Good And I Would Do Lst I Just Prefair It I Dont See The Need To Topp If U Can Just Tie The Main Steam Down And Let The Rest Catch Up

I Normally Would Lollypop All My Plants An Take Lots Of Clones
The Bottem 3/1 Does Be Bare It Helps With The Widows All Them Chola,s Just Swell Out The Results Are A Bit Jaw Dropping To Be Honest When You Do That With These Widows

They,ll Be Sweet I Feed Them Some Bio Harvest Its Ment To Help Them Recover From Any Strees From Re Potting Or Any Thing

looking for advice....
babies are 3 weeks old, 6-8" tall, with their 6th set of nodes (not including seed leaves and first set of single leaves). I pruned all seed leaves, all single sets, and only a FEW yellowing fan leaves from bottom of a couple plants. I plan on transplanting today in 3 gallon containers, waiting 5-7days, then switching to 12/12 for flowering.
Questions:
does this sound like a decent plan as far as timing?
when should or should i have taken clones?
what is best area on plant to take clones from?

New to this site and LOVING IT

Let your plants veg for 5-6 weeks is normally best but it all depends on your space
Clones when ever u want

Take your clones about the 5 week of vegging people will tell u diffrent thats when i like to do mines and take them from the bottem branchs of your plant where the newer baby steams i call them are. They take root a lot easier than more mature branches also trim of any bigger leaf of thats at the bottem half of your cutting

find out the sex of your plants b4 taking clones 1st thou :joint::hump:

since i only have 5, im going to take clones, transplant them all into their final pots, give them another week or 2 to veg and recover, then put them into flowering. Once i can determine sex i'll remove the male clones.

New question:
i have a hanging light fixture that plugs into the wall. It has a sticker on it that says it has 150w max with a type A bulb. I am wondering if i can install 3 Y-shaped socket adapters (1 into the lamp socket then 2 into that) and run up to 150w of CFL's? I was thinking (2) 42w spiral CFL's and (2) 26w spiral CFL's... 136w total. This would be plugged into a standard wall outlet. Fire Hazard?

yeah.....xmas tree plants dont do well unless outside. have you ever seen someone grow a plant inside with continueous topping (FIM)? it creates many colas by making the plant bush out and grow more tips.
