Turned the CO2 on today and the tent temp is around 85F. Hopefully it can encourage some real growth. She started to show some pistils already. I’m not sure if I should top anymore with the slow development. Either way healthy looking roots! Definitely will not go 12-12 out of seed again. Not a bunch of photos because there isn’t too much to show.

Grow Questions

PurpleDreamzstarted grow question 6 years ago
She’s already showing pistils and hasn’t started to really grow yet. Should I avoid topping? I’m afraid she won’t recover and I’ll hurt the potential yields.

Yeah I wouldundeniably avoid topping right now. I could go on a lecture, but to put it plaint you into the first week of flower and shes about to stretch and double in size. (flowering stretch) The last thing you want to do to an auto is top then at this point in time or you will dwarf your yields drastically. I highly recommend Low stress training(LST) as an alternative however! Hope I could help resolve your question PurpleDreamz! 😎

@PurpledDreamz apologies for the typos I am on mobile! edited answer below. "Yeah I would undeniably avoid topping right now.

@PurpleDreamz, Smart move, if shes been around 70-77F this whole time then a boost over 80F with C02 can really get those plant cells dividing!

@HighTV, Thanks for the feedback! Pretty much confirmed my fear: this isn’t the plant to top. I started her a little too soon and messed up the timing on my other flowering plants’ harvests. I do agree starting an auto 12-12 is a bad idea, but now I know for sure it’s not the best plan. I did seal my tent and add CO2 for the 12 hours of light for the last one to two weeks before I harvest. I’m hoping kicking it up to 82-85F and the CO2 can be sufficient to get a good growth spurt prior to the flower stretch. Definitely going to tie down the colas for LST. If my yields completely suck I’ll probably just start another of the same seed.

The flowering nodes on your plants look to be absolutely amazing. You've done such an amazing job with this grow so far and I'm so excited to see how these plants finish up as well as to hear how they smoke. Best wishes my friend :D

What up PurpleDreamz, I've taken a look at your photos, and I'm happy to tell you your plant is not showing pistils yet which is a good + normal thing at this stage in the growth. She's showing pre-flowers which is expected at this stage. You'll see pistills in 10 days more or less. It's a perfect time to top the top node, she'll be able to recover before hitting the actual flower phase. Yields wise topping helps some strains and hurts others , it's all about how crazy the apex dominance of the strain is. It's a cross between a cream strain (that likes topping) and a black strain (that doesnt like it as much), probably you'll do well topping, but the only way to know is to roll the dice ! hope this helps ! 🚀

Why did you change the light to 12-12 if she is a auto flower? Should be at 18/6. I recommend checking out The Grow Boss on YouTube.

Frog_Fishercommented6 years ago
@PurpleDreamz, Yes I know autos can use any light cycle although you should give it a dark period. Nowhere in the world is there 24hrs of light for 3 months straight.

PurpleDreamzcommented6 years ago
@Frog_Fisher, It was in the tent with a regular plant that was in flower. Auto’s can be put at any light amount and still succeed. Now that it’s harvested I set it to 24-0 in there.
