I'd double this, add charged biochar if you can, add fungi,, add rock dust, add nematodes, (present in ewc if fresh so disregard if local fresh sourced), otherwise looks pretty great

Yes I ended up with two phenos of Blue Orca Haze, both curing now! I like the BOH smoke , get a lot done.
 
I did a flip flop, shed is veg room for now and tent has two lonely females. Pictures taken with lights on, so sorry for that.

Here is the Greenpoint Tomahawk at about 25 days from flip, not much structure to this plant:

Added a Yogi, s1, I added diatomite rock to topsoil and original Swami Yogi started popping male flowers. This is my test run of a bunch of Yogi self-pollinated seeds, much nicer structure, at 7 days from flip:

This plant amazed me, BOH fem seed from flower I grew. I pushed the seed down in an empty planter outside in shady corner. Only one hour of direct sun in august, no direct sun now. Old soil from previous ffof grow, did nothing, automatic water three times a week. Three foot stalk, pictures don't do justice:

Stinging nettles grew next to this weed as a volunteer. Going to harvest nettles for mulch, supposed to be a nutrient accumulator??

Just trying to grow best possible plants, is that possible after topping??

Apical meristem controls many things which I don't understand, therefore, leave it be? Bend but don't break?

Skimmed that and looks consistent with what I know, especially regeneration of lost parts.
When people top they are removing the hormones that cause growth and the cells that are generating them..
The plant then must produce new sites to create this hormone. This results in two meristems instead of 1.
I don't top but I do remove the hormone by trimming leaf tips. This causes the same branching response as if the meristem was still there, but doing it this way allows it to remain, recover and continue to grow. I do this for structural reasons but I also think it stunts it less, and 3 is more than 2.
As the plant continues to grow, the side branches reach the height of the original meristem, center trunk, and receive the same treatment. If you veg long enough you can get a very level canopy going into flower this way. training 927.jpg snip930.jpg
 
Full hermy, showing pods on all flowers, had to see if those seeds were any good, nope, in the compost they go.
