your soil doesnt seem to have much aeration. what kind of soil are you using?

are you pHing your soil?
any nutrients?

Trimming isn't a good idea (in your case). Unless it's a mother plant that's being used for clones, or there is a airflow problem / light penetration issue

yeah iv been using shultz 10-15-10 at 1/2 doses my nutrients somtimes full doses wen it needs it i have not ph tested whats the best way to ph test?
iv grown before and never had any problems before but i do think soil aeration could be a problem how would i fix this? light penatration shouldnt be a problem anymore iv added lots of side lighting by the way +rep for ya

Your plant looks healthy. I wouldn't do anything.

I think you are worrying too much they look fine.

research LST or Supercropping. Supercropping takes practice but not much. I would not try it if you have never done it and only have one or two plants.

Not this again?????? :wall:

Dont do anything until you're ready to flower. That thing is still a runt. Any trimming would be counter productive. The only real trimming you should do IMO is when you're lolipopping just before flowering.

General rule, unless it's yellow leave it be, plant looks fine, maybe trim the nutes back a little.

Dont knock Bagseed It can really suprize you when grown and finished off right
A little care can make for a very rewarding grow

Topping is supposed to be done in veg. Doing it now is just going to slow things down and stress her out.

Sencha · Nov 6, 2010

Looks like it should still be in veg anyway, unless he just wanted to see the sex. You can always go back to veg.

Whats with the name calling? Do a search on this site about trimming. You will find endless arguments about this subject. This question haz been asked so many times its silly. Learn how to use the site before you start a thread thats been started 10,000 times before. Jeeeez

And I take it the 22 at the end of your name is your age which explains the name calling.
