Is topping really necessary? I only topped one of the three. I hate topping I like the way it looks without topping, but I do see a difference between the one that is and the two that aren't. Also one of the three started yellowing again and today it was slumped over, I had to tie it for support. I feed them all the same amount and only the one that is topped it affected like this. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Also should I cut more leaves?

That's what I am having a hard time with, the watering. From the comments, seems that I am over-watering. The topsoil gets dry quickly, so I water, and just started giving it nutrients but the yellowing is still there and looks like it's spreading. I will try not to water it

Hi, it looks to me like PH lock out. What happens is plant stops eating food, starts eating itself - lower leaves yellow and yellow goes up the plant. It should be 6.0 - 6-5 (6.2 is what i use). Check your ph of water mixed together with nutrients you are using. If your ph is ok, then you might be overwatering (frequency is the problem, not volume(liters). Your plant cant get oxygen and it starts suffocating, it goes again to plant lock out(lower leaves yellow). In this case start drying your soil, dont water dont feed... and hope for the best. I hope this helps mate! 👊

Never top in flower. An alternative to topping is bending , tying and training (lst). The idea is to get a level canopy to get the most from your grow light. If outside not necessary. Indoor if you don't get the canopy level then the top bud will get all the light or burn . Grow horizontal. Use a net. Look up the inverse square law. I plan on a 12" sweet zone of light so try to get efficient use of the light. Look at my diary. The harvest one. There are some good example pictures of what I mean.

Topping is not really neccessary but when done right you can increase yield. The reasons for this is because you force the plant to focus on more buds instead of just 1 main bud. And you can hang the lamp closer to more buds and not just close to the main bud. Enjoy your grow with or without topping!

Maybe in another week or two max i would say, plant looks like it still reaching its peak. Not all strains will fill with brown hairs , some will stay 50/50 . Your buds are still filling out.

Hi, definitely not ready to harvest, look how many white hairs there are. Wait till most of them turn brown, then start looking at the thricromes with a lens to verify their maturity. Those buds should swell a lot in the next couple of weeks then it will be ready. Good luck and enjoy !

Yes, most of the pistils ( white hairs ) turned orange/brown. This is a sign you’ve reached the harvest window period. These buds looks like mine when I harvest.

SOS! My plants were all looking good up until this week. Two have started yellowing and drying. I was told to wait maybe a week or two more before harvesting. Is this normal? Should I cut and harvest and let it go for another week?

either underwatering or overwatering or just natural consumption of hereself plus outdoor weather influence, either cold nights or very hot days. she looks like almost ready, check bud trichomes. look out for bud rot too.

We need a better pic from trichomes and make sure you take the pic from the bud, not from the leaf Also if is sativa you can cut when you see +5% amber if in Indica then you need to wait until +60% amber

Estará a tu gusto, me gusta bajar la intensidad lumínica los últimos días para que maduren algunos tricomas. Más lechosos o transparentes y será un efecto elevador, más ámbar y oscuros y el efecto será más relajado. Todo es cuestión de gustos! Yo los prefiero siempre con un 10% ámbar, excepto algunas cepas que las elijo para sofá, como banana purple punch 😅☠️

Depending on what type of high you like the more amber the more couchlock effect. Me personally I go for 30 to 40° amber...💣💥💤

Hello, I have been drying for 12 days and I am not seeing/hearing the snaping sound on any of the branches. the buds themselves are staring to feel dry to the touch. what should I do? should I start the curing process or continue to dry and wait for the snap?

Puedes esperar unos días más. 15 días es lo mínimo que dejo secar mis flores. En el siguiente paso manicuro y coloco en frascos de vidrios sin llenar al 100% el frasco , dejo lugar para que circule un poco de aire. En los primeros días destapó 1 o 2 veses al día para la renovación de aire. Buena suerte

a stem snapping depends a lot on the size of stem you are trying to snap. you can begin cure, then check on it 6-8 hous later.. if the outside is again soft and clearly moist, pull out -- how long relative to how wet it is, then repeat that process. 2-way humidi packs make it easier, but they do have limits as to how much they can absorb - can weigh them and find that point.. integra boost sucks. don't use that brand. RH never matches what product says. i put 12 67g packs in a bucket that requires 2 to 4 packs and they still don't do a good job. boveda is far superior brand of the two. their 55%-59% (i forget what it is exactly) and 62%. if you like things a bit stickier, do the 62. i wait for the outside of buds to feel dry, then i wait another 12 hours o rmore to put them in curing buckets. even then on occasion i have to pull them back out due to excess moisture. If unsure, just make sure oyu check on them intermittently that first 24 h.. make sure they don't get 'soft' which indicates the too much moisture. They shouldn't stick together too much -- really good weed is sticky, but there's a difference.

Boveda or other company 62.5 packs will rven out, but after 12 days with your size no snap its strange. Slower is better, so you in win area ...

Hi there! It looks like they're over watered and getting nutrient deficiencies from it, to me. They look a little stretchy so your light might be a little far as well. I'd just let them dry up a bit and then start watering them again slowly. Make really sure you've got good drainage in your pots too, that's often why you're getting over watering issues if you know you're not giving them too much in general. Hope that helps.

@Tina2023, you're welcome! I like Advanced Nutrients pH Perfect Grow, Micro, Bloom line. They have buffers in them that will pH your water for you, so that's one less thing to worry about. My plants love it and it works for both autos and photos, plus hydro, soil, and coco. I also use Botanicare Cal-Mag Plus. Both are pretty cheap on Amazon, compared to a lot of other nute systems. Advanced Nutrients has a dosage calculator on their website that lets you play around with all their lines and your grower levels so you can decide what you think is best for you. Also it'll tell you how much to feed what in which weeks. There are lots of good nutes out there though, those are just the ones I like and think are extremely beginner friendly.

I'm fairly new to the game as well and do a lot of experimenting. So far, my biggest plant was not topped, but I do have a few plants that were topped, some twice and one that was FIM'd. Each plant has its own personality and potential. I planted 3 NLs all at once, gave same nutz, water, everything, and they all pretty much turned out the same. But, other groups went in complete opposite directions.
