My plant mutated so I made it my first time training.

Here's a white lavender that mutated on me and split into two main stalks. I topped both of those once each and did some super cropping.?. I bent the tallest limbs to get even with lower canopy. You can see where I topped one side. I topped the other side of plant too. The 2 sides that I didn't top are mutating into numerous sites on its own. I've never done any type of training but the mutation made me want to try. I didn't cut anything before it split its stalk. The are a lot of potential major bud sites. I know it doesn't look the healthiest but she's growing past that and it shows because the new growth is a nice dark green. I'm using 5 gallon buckets, soil, 1000 hps light and fox farm nutes. This thing has mutated growth everywhere! It's twice as wide as it is tall. I'll start flowering within the next month. How's my training look for a first timer?

Drainage should be good. About every 3 days the buckets really light. I don't know why it's yellow but since I started my fox farm nutes nice green growth is appearing. I wondered about it being droopy and thought maybe overwatering but I don't water unless it needs it.

IDK man, It looks great to me, but I don't S/C.
I just like to top mine, and I tried to FIM this one I'm doing now, but missed.
As far as larger than 5 gal., I would if you can.
Mine has filled her 5 gal., and she's less than 4 months old, with only 30 days veg.

Yeah I topped and super cropped this one. I've never had this much green in such a short plant. I just hope that it isn't too much plant to feed for the roots when the buds develop.

Any super croppers out there? No bmeat bashers with helpful input? I can't believe only one person has responded. What's up with everyone on this site reading but responding? It almost seems like a waste to post here anymore and maybe I should find another site. This happens to too many posts on here. It's sad that a site has so many bashers and trashers but those same refuse to post otherwise. Thanks all.

Read people read! I said to overlook its color because I've started nutes and its growing out nice and green. I'm wondering about the training!

The training looks fine and it looks like you'll get a nice short Bush. Sorry I had to look up what super cropping meant. I'm a firm believer in not playing with the plant to much; I don't even top my plants and I come out with short bushes every time using LST.AK47.jpgIMG_0287.jpgThis is a picture of an AK-47 clone that was planted on 1/6/13. It is growing in Happy Frog using the Fox farm nutrient system and sitting under 8,54 W T fives, or about 485 W. Notice that you only see one string in the first picture, this is the only low stress training I've done to this plant. I tied the very top branches down to let the others catch up. I'm not a fan of super cropping, but you did a nice job making a Bush. It looks like you'll get a lot of nice buds right at the top of your canopy and with that much light in what looks like a small space even what's underneath will be fine.
