Look to amazing .. my girl, I did no training and she has a big old fat cola.. I think i'm gonna go back to training because when you don't train and have a nice even canopy, the top ripen so much faster like that main cola, I have is very close to done, whereas the bottom third looks like it has a few weeks to go... i don't know i've only been giving water to all of them for the last week and a half... Do you think I should give her a PK booster ? She is really slowed down on drinking and her leaves are saggy always and she is eating herself.. and I'm not the type to cut the top and then let the rest ripen. I feel like that stresses the plant out so much that everything you're trying to ripen isn't as good as it should be.That could be myth bro science, but that's my experience.. Awesome to see you growing the same strain .. i wish I did a bunch of topping.I'm thinking of getting a 3x5 which is rare spider farmer has one.. Thinking of scaling production a little bit

@Hempface86, thank you brother!! She is turning out great. yeah I also wouldn't cut half of the plant and let the rest ripen. Though I have heard it is possible... . The problem will be training I think. The main stem in an untrained plant is probably much thicker than the side branches, which will cause the uneven ripening. By training very early on I try to create multiple 'main' stems who are compareable in thickness. That will help in my eyes together with the top buds being at almost the same height.

@SpaceHaze123, i agree if you see some of my prior grows, like the lambs bread , sunday driver and others, I've done a lot of topping this go. Around, I just wanted to see how quick of the turnaround, I can get it... Next grow, I will definitely do some training .. i think the only other grow that I did no training.Was my cream and cheese by seedsman which is a 1 to 1 , one of the best tasting plants yet . But even autos I always top .. i definitely appreciate the wisdom you share, and I didn't know it quite work like that, so thank you ( i'm talking about the main stem ripening faster than the branches.. appreciate you

@Hempface86, with pleasure ofcourse. Whatever experience I have, I am willing to share. I am no scientist, but the bigger the stem the bigger the buds I guess. That is also why they hurt the stems when supercropping. The plant heals by making the damaged part of the stem bigger and stronger. That way more nutriënts can be provided to the budsites faster. I checked out your cream and cheese and probably will give it a go! Always looking for new flavors
