I should be topping these on my Sunday edit of this week. In prep of topping, I went through and removed growth at the 1st and 2nd nodes so the plant doesn't waste any more energy developing those areas. For those crying about removing growth, we're talking about a couple leaves that were mostly shaded and their associated branch nubs...it's minimal lol. Defoliation and pruning are fine as long as it serves a purpose. I'm just encouraging the plant to focus growth elsewhere. I expect the 5th nodes to show soon, then I'll top back to the 3rd.
Gave my "grow" nutes a slight bump up. Z1 is staying short but growing broad, Z2 and 3 have a little more height. My other strain looks a lot more uniform at the moment. My humidity is running upper 40s while the light is on and upper 50s when off.
***11/17 Checked up on the plants, only about 30 hours later and you can already see a difference at the 3rd node. Didn't break out the tape measure but they look taller lol. I reshuffle the photos for easy comparison.
***11/19 Update-Haircut day!! I'll be honest, I was like a kid on Christmas Eve last night.....sooooo excited for today. Lol
Each plant has a before and after. It's not always obvious due to camera angles, but I left a healthy stump on each. Made my cuts just below the 4th nodes. Pots still had a little weight to them so I'm giving them another day or two at least to feed.
I have tried a grow with the same lights. My babies only grow to size of week 2 and they get stunted and don't grow any more. I'm seeing ppl with same lights and many different day/night temps and such...idk why my babies won't grow
@SkaterSkates77, definitely bro. This is what I was born to do. As soon as I can figure out how to dm on this site I’ll send you info and I don’t want your money until it’s legal where I live to sell my clones that I’ve selected with superior genetics.
@Scrubbyjimbob, can I give you my contact info? I'm really trying to get a grow going. Put so much into it. I would pay some one at this point to give me pointers and help along the way...🤯
@SkaterSkates77,
I've been happy with mine so far in veg. My plants seem to be doing great under it at 75%(ish) currently. I'll be curious to see how penetrating it is during flower.
