The best advice I was ever given...

Don’t get High off your own supply

Sorry bud but that's why I started growing. Now I mostly get high on my own supply

$300 for ten seeds, lol. They are a little to proud of their shit for my taste.

Come on now? Everyone has had a taste and it is rapidly taking up southern real estate. The depths of the posts???? My errant dirty old man for the night.

Peace.

And it is not the bait which we cast. It is feeling the reverberations of the prey through it. My "glad he is in the woods" uncle while trout fishing on mushrooms.

Mom, where have you been?

If you were talking about Auto's I would agree but if you are talking about photo's I think you are wrong. Topping does not harm growth when you have veg time to allow healing and is beneficial to yields. That is a proven fact when done right. When done wrong is the only time it is not beneficial IMO.

I’m definitely not here to argue, just passing along something that made my overall quality better and more consistent. I suppose you can eventually top a plant without inhibiting hormonal growth, but not until preflowers begin in veg.

I don’t know man. Big root balls drink up a lot of water. Mine are in 5gallon pots and need water every 48hoirs or they’re bone dry.

That’s about when u water too right. And, I’m in 15 gal pots and water every three days.

Holy shit. Now all you need is the clam. Lmao

once the deer asked the giraffe how deep is the river ? Giraffe answered: its not deep only reaches to my knees, the deer tried to cross then sank.

The best thing I was ever made aware of was that you don’t need to water near as often as you think. I had to read high times to learn back in my youth. And growing has changed drastically since then. But the water rule still stands.

I feed my plants twice a day. Is that too much?

Yeah, something I picked up over the years. LST will get you the same results as topping if you’re more patient and more attentive. Cutting the top of a plant grown from seed limits naturally occurring growth hormone.

Its the other way around dude. Cutting a stem causes auxin and cytokinin release and you get auxillary dominance as a result.

You will not get the same result with LST as regular topping. They're simply different techniques. You top to get an even structured canopy. When you LST you loose a lot of that control and it's also more work for no real gain if you compare to regular topping and supercropping techniques.

It's a complete mess trying to lollipop a LST'd plant. They look like a uncontrolled mess most of the times. Cheers!

Don't help anyone until you know what your doing, even if you think their dirt looks bone dry and their plants on fire. Leave the advice giving to the vets. And like Budsnsuds said you've got two ears and one mouth so you can listen twice as much as you talk. Biggest lesson of my life.

I'd have to disagree on the LST comments, at least for me. I haven't had any issues with canopy control when mixing LST and supercropping.

What makes lollipopping any different on an LSTed plant or not? You're just removing lower growth.

they don’t seem to mind
Realize that everyone has different set ups, and different relationships with their plants. To make a statement like “this is this and it’s the only way”, esp in growing, is silly.

so many paths to take. Happy growing

Also I second this statement^^
I OFTEN see advice given on here lead by those who aren’t sure or are just guessing without any experience behind what they suggest other than theory or something they read on a forum

You can get a more even homogenous structure with better airflow under the canopy with just topping IMO.

That being said I do both. But I dont bother to tie and bend down with strings from early veg. To much work for no real gain contra regular topping IMO.

But it's more a question of personal preference. If you like the process, go ahead and do it! Cheers!

The first mistake here was taking advice from an article in high times

Have you been hitting with a gallon a day since they were seedlings?
