there pebbles, i add to my soil mix, when i make it up, also i always add 2" in the bottom of every pot, it help drainage and stops nutes building up in the soil.

Pics are clear enough to see what's what.
Three heads happens, I've got one just like that in my grow room right now. It's perfectly healthy, and I can't wait for the produce. :D
Good Luck with yours!

Everythings looking good to me,on a side note i never flower until the tops that i have topped have regrown properly as you wont get a proper top from it if you dont.
What i mean is that all though you will get another stem it will be much shorter obviously and the stress from topping without 24/0 light may slow your plants ability to begin to flower but only at first:blsmoke:

I would never top 2 days before 12/12,and never whilst in flower.
Nothing will be wrong with your plants and you will still get a bit of extra stemage from it so theres nothing to worry about.
Just don't be surprised if they seem a bit slow to flower up at first.
If i had topped i would wait at least 7-10 days before i went to flower but this is only if you want some nice large stems,topping a few nodes here and there a couple of days before flowering will not harm your plants its just that the new tops will be fairly small and hardly worth the stress to the plant:blsmoke:

Well i top the seedlings when they have 3 full sets of leaves and i can properly see the very first 2 side shoots growing and i always cut about 90% of the top away so in all reality i don't really top i fimm.

Leaving about 10% of the top on and cutting at a slight angle will increase the chances of my new top turning out to be 3 or more new tops.
I then wait about a week or so depending on their growth rate until the 2,3,4,or 5 new tops have developed lower nodes of their own and do the same to the new tops and hopefully they in turn will get up to about 5 new tops each.

I will take some decent pics and make a full write up as i go along including the fimming of my plants showing exactly where and how i have cut them and how long it takes them to recover and grow new bits.

Hope this helps you out a bit.:blsmoke:
