This is my first auto, and I have never done the topping much so I don't have advice on autos however, I have grown 3 year old unknown bagseed and one hermied and I still got good results when plucking as many as I could away, so I don't think it cause as much harm unless your totally picky aobut your grow.So ive plucked and snipped all sacks off. I went branch by branch and took off anything that resembled a sack. If they come back i will remove it from the grow room and put it outside. Maybe use that bud for friends when they come bumb bud off of me...lol
Yes it is XD im glad to see others have my taste in literature. and im not too sure if it is the lighting because i put her outside and she still didnt even grow half an inch, ive read on other sites that it might be a dwarf and another person has had a La Diva like this. Im saying this also because ive seen other grows with only 2 lights so less than 50 watts going. I might be wrong who knows lol.Lavode, I just checked out your link as well so I won't chime in to confirm what others have already said.
I am going to speculate that your Divas are small due to the lighting. I am by no means an expert, but I have always been given to understand that with CFLs you want at least 100 watts per plant. I simply haven't been doing this long enough to offer any definite reasons for the plant being small.
Edit - BTW, is the handle Lavode in homage to a certain fantasy author having the last name of Brust? Just wondering, because if so, I too am a big fan...
Brust is an awesome writer. I have lost count how many times I have re-read the Vlad series.Yes it is XD im glad to see others have my taste in literature. and im not too sure if it is the lighting because i put her outside and she still didnt even grow half an inch, ive read on other sites that it might be a dwarf and another person has had a La Diva like this.
