I got complacent and let my babies go for too long. It's ideal to top to 3rd node after 4-5th node. I waited too long till the 6th-7th node and lost some crucial veg growth. I was debating whether to top or just LST this time, but I was reading a lot about mainlining/manifolding and wanted to try it out. Mainline is a technique that creates symmetrical branches through topping (ussually just 2 rounds of topping).
@Mz876, Thank you! The dark colors are the most beautiful imo. It had such a unique chocolate smell to it too. I never imagined weed could smell/taste like dark chocolate haha.
@Sweet_Seeds Thanks Apolo! The smoke is sweet for sure, the chocolate flavor is so unique. This strain was amazing to grow, I can't wait to try out one of your new XLs.
