10/31 - Not quite enough space between the 5th and 6th node to top yet, should be ready in the next couple days. Will also transplant Critical Cali this week too.
11/1 - Topped Acapulco and LSD. Acapulco above 5th node, LSD above 6th, as it actually was a node ahead of AG. Watered with .5 gallons each.
11/2 - Transferred Critical Kali Mist to 5 gallon pot. Watered. Dusted top of soil with DE to try to kill the gnats in the soil of AG and LSD. Have never used DE before, wasn't sure exactly how much to use, just went for a light coating on the surface. That powder is not fun to work with, even if it is food grade. All 3 ladies are in their final pots, now it's just a matter of waiting until they're tall enough to install the individual ScrOGs. Moving right along. I will not be topping the CKM, since it is lagging behind the other 2. LST only for her.
Anyone have any experience topping LSD or Acapulco Gold Strains? I've never grown these strains before and am curious how they respond to topping. Going to do it anyway, just looking for any insight from someone who's done it before. Thanks!
LSD being indica dominant, I would top it later than the sativa dominant Acapulco Gold, which will respond more vigorously to topping.
Also, your pH should be in the 6.2 to 6.8 range, 7.5 is way too high.
