The TRCBD is officially dying. Not worth updating anymore. Unfortunate turn of events but I am reassured that this sometimes happens, even with designer genetics. Good lessons regardless, so never a loss. Looking like we still need GG to stretch a wee bit more, to guarantee a proper topping. This week? (He says again). At least now i can focus on one plant and just top/scrog till its huge. Watered with Reefertilizer, foliage looking a little droopy.

Topped GG. Looking healthy and plumped a bit from watering. Topping is for sure scary your first time. Here you are, about to take snips to the beautiful center of this 5 week project, it certainly bears pausing to make sure you understand whats going on. But so far, so good. I waited until i had two full sets of 5 point leaves, despite having a fourth node. Had this plant only grown one set of 3-pointers i probably would have chopped at the third node.

Looking healthy, took to the chop rather nicely. Looking at those bottom leaves next, not much light down there. Pronounced fresh smell upon opening the tent. Watering tonight with plain, no nutes.

Watered generously. Trimmed fan leaves from first node.
Why is the Tonic Ryder so much smaller than the GG#4 even though i started them on the same day in the same earth? Is it a function of the different genetics or am I screwing up?
It's all about the genetic , some strains are slow to start and some are slow to finish. Some strains are more vigorous than the others but it is not really a clue about the size of the future trees : the smaller could become the bigger
@AncientGreen, Ahh, i have to verify my email to reply! Sorry it took so long, eh. Yes, i figured since its my first time indoors an auto would be a nice starting point. The other one is a photo but i figure ill just keep vegging and topping and lst'ing until the auto is out of the way, then switch to 12/12 and flower the GG#4.
