yea i know but didnt get anygrowth due to root bound and not enough root space, the thing with indoor growing is that the light only is hitting tops and the further light travels the less intensity and energy its able to give to the lower side of the plant, instead of plants wasting it energy on lower buds that are ultimately going to be fluffy bottom nugs,itll go to the top rusulting in bigger heavier, fewer buds instead of a few good nugs on top and bunch popcorn ,alot of new growers get lots of popcorn , not knowing the light has lil effect on lower buds

Also if theres bottom stems that are up there with your other main tops you can leave those and just cut off the little sites on those branches!, if you didnt understand that let me know lol
 
oh no i understand u bro an an i decided not to lolipop cause i got another plant in veg thats growing quick so i dont have much time for this baby left :cry: its a downer but im def going to try that method on my next girl either sour diesel or strawberry blue! the videos on youtube of people lolipopping they seem to produce denser buds correct me if im wrong but thats the way it looked.

Not on hand , I have a bull rider that im growing , it was just a test plant to see how it does and i love it, i also lollipoped it ,ill take a pic and post it around 3pm pacific time lol , yea now that you know the importance of root space these new plants should be very Nice, if you would have vegged 4 months correctly with your current plants you would have a BEAST! oh well live and learn. so when you going to 12/12 ,what are you going to use to veg your new plants?

Flush with 1/4 strengtg nute solution pH'd between 6.0 and 6.5.Try pH of 6.0 as when plants feed the EC (strength of nute solution) drops and pH rises,allowing all macro and micro nutrients to be taken up.

When flushing to correct a nute toxicity it is important to use 1/4 strength nute solution over plain water.

Also when flushing,you want to use 3x as much water or 1/4 strength nute solution as the amount of growing medium,ie;

If using 3 gallons of growing medium flush with 6 gallons of water/quarter strength nute solution.
 
im going to go 12/12 tommarow if all goes well my new growth is starting to look alil twisted ima post a pic here soon an ill show you an i plan on getting some cfls dont know the exact kind yet though wanna go with whats best for them

The plant will finish if you bud it. I have had the same thing happen to me. Here is a list of things that will cause the symptoms that you had.

1. Cold Temps
2. No Micros
3. Not enough feedings
4. Not enough Light
5. Old Soils that have had to many grows on it without being rejuvenated
6. My city water....it contains a chemical to raise the PH to 7....even if you ph it...it drifts back up in about 3 days (hydro)

That was a list from my experience....
You have a couple solutions though.....
A. Bud it...It would like a little blue light in bud not all oranges....it will make it.
B. Trim It way back, transplant, get rid of the yellow leaves and veg for another 4 weeks.

IMO i would bud it if you have a replacement.

you need daylight6000k cfls during veg stage and 2700 k red light, for bloom, i like to hit them with some daylight6000k the first 3 weeks of flower tho,because there still growing roots and new foilage at that stage
