topping

  1. C

    Plants flowering WAY too early. Needed to top. Not sure if topping was enough.

    The last few years have been a total bust. Almost no seeds have survived and the one plant that did only grew about 15cm (4-5 inches?). I wanted to grow some different strains with different amounts of THC and CBD. This year again, most seeds didn't survive despite the fact that I even bought a...

    To top or not to top that is the question

    Hi All, I was wondering what you guys think I should do. Should I top these plants or let them grow naturally. I’m growing outdoors and I have rain protection so I’m not too concerned about the buds getting wet during flower. I haven’t topped them yet because I just transplanted to 25 gallon...

    LED’s from different angles

    Hey all, Just a thought after watching so many grow videos of lolipoping and LST’ing...Has it been proven unsuccessful to have lights both on the ground focused towards the lower growth as well as a light hanging to focus on top canopy? So imagine a tent where there’s one LED fixture on the...

    1- week Post-FIM training

    Is this what a typical 1-week grow-out looks like after FIM training? Did I crop too high on the leaf?

    Can I scrog L.A. Confidential?

    Hello, I'm growing 2 strains in soil this year (Gelato and L.A. Confidential. I ordered a 5x5 Secret Jardin trellis net so that I could do the scrog technique on both strains. I'm just wondering if L.A. Confidential does well with training and if I would be better off leaving it alone or if I...

    Severely broken stem connected by thread...should I leave it or top it?

    Man So I was (for no good reason) bending down the tallest branch of the GSC and I snapped a branch. It's been like 12 hours it's still green and healthy...should I just let it go and see if it heals. I'm like 2 or 3 weeks away from flower so I'm not worried about that. I wonder if it'll heal...

    Is it worth to top side branches

    Snapped the main stem accidentally the other day and lost the two main colas. So I was wondering if it’s at all beneficial or ‘worth it’ to top any of the side branches to make up for it? Would it be a positive gain in doing so?

Can I top or LST or both these plants at this stage or should...

    Better than mainline/manifold. “Pin Wheel” training method

    So after topping, instead of bending the branches straight down above the fan leaf directly below like I usually do, I tied them off to the side, centered between 2 large fan leaves. By not blocking the fan leaves below I will get much more light absorption. I plan to continue doing this all the...

    First time topping, did I mess it up?

    Topped one plant to see how it would respond (never grown this stain before). When I was topping I think I may have snipped off a tiny bit of the internode growth. Did I fuck up the topping? Pics below

    Should i top her now

    It’s almost 3weeks (19 day from sprout), everyday bigger and bigger, but i have height issues, and don’t know exactly which node to cut (i’m a bit of a micro grower), or to wait a bit? It is do-si-dos strain

    SHOULD I TOP NOW?

    Hello there my fellow growers So, for my next steps I am considering both topping and lst. I think the best option is to top first and then lst. But I am not sure if she is ready to be topped. Anyway she is getting too close to the lights and that will be no good for her... So there she...

    1st time Topping & LST techniques for better results

    Hey guys, This is my first time trying both techniques at the same time. The plant seems promising. Hopefully, these techniques will pay off. What do you guys think?

    Impact of training/topping on yield?

    Hello all, first time grower curious about the difference in overall yield when comparing plants that have been trained to plants that have not. Would a shorter bushier plant produce more weight than a plant that’s much taller and untrained? I’m sure the quality of buds would be much denser on...

    When/if to top/fim this clone with uneven nodes??

    Hey all, first time grower here... This Clone went a little too long (Maybe 2-3 weeks since buying from the shop) before topping but I couldn’t find a good time because the nodes are consistently uneven. Could anyone help me with when? I’ll be providing close-ups of how she looks right now...

I have a 2x2x4 tent setup, with only 1 clone growing right now that I just transplanted in a 5 gal smart pot (3 or so weeks since getting back from the shop) I know it’s a big pot but I’ve seen some say it’s okay as long as I can get her past the shock.) using a...
