Need expert opinion...

This is my first grow, and like everybody else I'm freakin out lol Can somebody give me an expert opinion on my plant I snapped the top about 7 days ago. Kinda screwd that up, cuz I used 95% alcohol to clean out the scissors, and it seemed to burn the top, and a hole in a leaf (as seen in the pic). Im thinkin of buddin it in about 2 weeks... Plant is about 20 inches, on one pic with red circles i marked mishapen leafs and discolored stem... effects of snapping the top???

PS I read that if u make little cuts on the stemp 2,3 weeks before end of buddin' plant will produce more THC to heal the cuts, ulitimately sronger bud...

PS 2 Im still kinda confused even after reading all these posts, when should and, should I? stop watering the plant?

since you cant visually tell if you're overwatering then just go get a simple 5 dollar moisture meter. Stick it in and it will tell you when it needs water!.

a fast cheap easy way is to stick your fingers 2 inches beneath soil. Check to see if its still moist, if dry, then water.

Another way is to check the actual pot's weight. Lift it up, and if its light then it needs more water. If its heavy then wait another or day or two and check again.

Thanks man I prob buy the meter, but I mean right before you finish budding the plant I heard that you should stop watering to get rid of some moisture...

Looks like it turned out ok after topping, and water meter warks fine too lol However what bothers me now, is the lower fan leafs pointing down, and curling at the ends, as shown...

hey man u need to trimm off the lower leaves and branches. keeping them there will just be a waste if removed the top colas will get the benefits of u timming the lower leaves off....

How am I suppose to do it? Just cut of the whole thing by the main stem, or just trim the leafs
