Well im going to topp, jus depends what you wanna do, topping give you 2 new shoots of growth and fiming gives you 4 i think, but fimming is a lil different, i would jus topp them, and keep the PH in the range that hariy gave you a page back

You can fem them. Just cut off 70-80% of the new leaf shoots that form from the main stem.
If you'll spend your spare time reading the threrads and especially the FAQ's on this site, you'll get a wealth of information. Keep your reading focused on hydro (water grows)

No nutes and just top off with Ph adjusted bottled water for awhile. Tap water hasn't worked well in the AG for me. The chloramine in my tap water kills my plants.

I would continue adding nutrients according to the schedule on the bottle. As long as you keep the pH at the proper levels (5.2-5.80), the extra nutrients shouldn't harm the plant. The browning leaves will never recover, but the new growth will be healthy as long as you adjust.

Did you see how new his plants are? Way to young for full nutes IMHO. These are weeds!

Day 46 - Saturday, 1/3/2009

Day 18 of Flowering
Day/Night Schedule: 12/12
pH: 5.5

1) Pollen sacks began to clearly develop on the plant I posted pictures of a few days ago. One sack looked like it had already begun opening. Sprayed down with water to deactivate any loose pollen and covered with a bag, then cut it down from the base.

2) One plant appeared to be turning hermi; it had long white pistils on three separate bud sites. However, on the top cola, a sack-like growth had developed between the pistils. I pried at the growth with a pair of forceps, and it unfolded. It turned out to be a tiny leaf which had simply not uncoiled. Make sure you guys check for this before chopping down any suspected hermies!

3) The third, and largest plant has shown no signs of sex on the main stem. However, on many of its lower branches, there are separate bud sites forming which have already released long white pistils. Is it unusual for white pistils to appear on the branches before they appear on the main stem?

4) Final Count: 3 Females + 1 Female in the Soil

Thanks man! I've got the exact same thing, just saw a white hair turn red a few days ago! I think that it's normal, and we can expect a lot more as we progress into flowering. Wake and bake time bongsmilie

Does anyone know what the purpose of the red hairs is, and why some strains have them and some don't? All I know is, better red than dead!! :fire:

Smart way to do it. Hopefully you didnt get the ladies pregnant.

No, you get flowers on the lower nodes first. i did anyway.

Should be plenty plants for some weighty buds.
