Looking great. I'm by no means an expert grower, but I'd have to say for your first or second grow it's looking awesome. If you can get it, your plant would thrive with some more light during the flowering process. And you may want to shift to 12/12 once you start seeing the new growth from the topping since you can expect her(hopefully) to at least double during fowering. Hope that helps. Keep it up.

I have a 120 or 140w HPS that is about six to eight inches from the top of my hopefully soon to be known girl, so I dont think it could get much more light than it already is, right now Im on 18/6 so keep the tips comming people, thanks alot for all your help.

how am I stressing my plant? I havent done anything but top it, thats it. its on a 18/6 light cycle, and its watered with nutes every three days or less if it starts to droop. If you know something I dont, please shed some light on the subject.

the plant looks pretty good. my only real concern is the pot. is it in a plasticware bowl? or is it a home made areogarden thing. (looks like its on a tote) if its in what it looks like you really need to repot. and if you can it wouldnt hurt to lower the light a bit.

I topped my plant and now the top step is leaning over, it also has this brown looking doughnut at the top of the stem I cut. Did I basicly kill the plant, or can I do something to fix it?

no that just means that the main stem or what used to be the main stem is no longer going to grow and the two branches below should take over the role's of "main" stem.
