I decided to go ahead and top her. The 4-ass was topped and is the biggest/healthiest plant I've had. I'm hoping it's just rock solid genetics from Mephisto ... we'll see. This girl did start out a bit rough, though.
The leaves looked ... "different" ... than usual??!! A little on the pale side ... a little wilted, kinda. So, I thought I'd give this foliar spray a shot - organic ... seems ok ... actually smells decent (no fishy poo smell). I think they use peppermint oil in it - so, it'll act as a natural insect repellent (not that it matters in my sealed tent). Leaves look a little healthier after first use ... will let it rest a couple days, then give it another spritz.
