Hi everyone. I was thinking if can i still do the topping on my plant? . She is at the 10/11th node stage and looks tall but not bushy. Do you think will it improve the yields without harming the plant?

Yes. Be! Top that girl, she's still at a great height. Even though with outdoor you don't have to top, for me it made maintenance and care a lot easier having a flatter canopy. Also multiple nice solid top colas.👍

You should have time before it flips to flower. I'd say top it.. We did out outdoor once to try to keep them short. But i'm thinking maybe twice next year as they are already 5ft tall plus!

Just noticed roots are JUUUUST starting to touch the bottom of my 1gal smart pot... I just gave her a watering with straight r/o water day 13 at night... should I wait about 5-7 days (aka till her soil dries up) then think of transplanting?

So I was hoping to move these guys outside soon into 5 gallon pots in my garden. I know marijuana can be pretty hardy, but I was looking at the extended forecast and it's still dipping down into the mid-high 40's F at night. What temp range can I safely move them outside?

Read a good book over the weekend "Marijuana Cultivation Reconsidered: The Science and Techniques For Huge Indoor Yields" by Read Spear. (read some bad ones too that I won't mention). Any recommendations for good books on cannabis? Looking forward to your answers. Thanks!

This plant is behaving differently than my other plants (Northern Lights, and Somango XXL) in that it is stretching for a second time this late into flowering. I can notice it the most in the center colas, but also in the exterior ones. Is this normal? Does it want more light?

I'm thinking about topping my Dr. Grinspoon in order to keep her in a short height from 60cm. But im worrying about the time she needs to recover from topping, which is important time for her very long flowering period. What would you recommend? Topping or any tips on better LST?

How often you all recommend feeding bud enhancers? I’m use Advanced Nutrients Big Bud & Bud Candy and I’m wondering if it would be beneficial to use it with my waterings, too, rather than just when I feed. Been dosing those full strength but only feed Sensi A/B half dose 1X/week.

Any guess on how much longer until harvest? I'm aiming for 20% amber or more for the couch lock but I don't want to be waiting for trichomes that don't actually turn. Since this is an indica I'm sure I should see a transition from to amber it's just hard to tell if cloud or clear
