Moth man is now 22", Mint Jelly 1 is 18" and Mint Jelly 2 is 12".
Continuing to use 4 tbs /gallon Fox farms Big Bloom and 2tsp fox farms Buds&Blooms, every other feeding.
Watering them every day since it's been sunny.
So it looks like the mint jellys have slowed or stopped vertical growth and are busy fattening up the buds. MJ2 is stuck at 12", stunted, and MJ1 at 18" both affected by the topping... But moth man which was topped same day as MJ1, while she took time to recover, has really taken off and still going at close to an inch per day.
Notably, in my last grow (not in GD yet) I had a mint jelly which I didn't top and she hit about 25" by 6.5 weeks, yielding about 1.3 oz dry bud after week 10 harvest. So, the old debate of whether to top or not to top autos: It seems like if there's a long enough gap between hitting 3rd node and flowering, it's ok to top but the mint jellys start flowering immediately after she hits 3rd node.
This is only my 4th grow total and 2nd grow outdoors with autos, so it's always a learning process.
@Hellgirl666,Thanks! I only wish I had let them grow another 3 weeks or so, but circumstances didn't let me. But now I need to buy some more purple strain seeds!
@ZoobZoob_farmZ, thanks - if I grow Mothman again, I'll give her more time before harvesting and she'll fatten up a lot more. I had to harvest her at ten weeks because I was going out of town. She was my first purple bud and I can't wait to grow other purple strains!
