Yess she is only showing you her sex but not flowering so nothing to worry about, and by doing it do not forget to disinfect your tools with alcohol a clean work is always better. Have a nice grow, good luck! 🙌

Wann und wie mit LST anfangen?
Meine Pflanzen befinden sich jetzt in Woche 3 und ich möchte das sie nicht hoch sondern buschig wachsen. Ich habe Pflanzenklammern die 90Grad biegen können hier. Ist die schon bereit? Oder wäre eher Topping die bessere Variante?

Hi guys. Do my plants need topping if I have little space (60x40x120cm) and I am planning a scrog? Are the plants ready for topping? After topping, I plan to use only lst + scrog, no mainlines/manifolds. I also plan to turn on the lights 12/12 in a week or two. Thanks!

Tent Management Help please SCROG
Any advice to help spread this canopy out or keeping them from overlapping the other plants? I don't want to buy a new light, should I just move this one (300w) up and move the plants a couple inches out? Start bending different directions? Trim something? Add a smaller light in?

I want o top my plant I hear pinching works best. This is my first plant so I want to be certain. I have six nodes right now. I would like to know where to pinch and which node. I’ve seen a lot of different ways of doing it.

Beheaded Auto!!!
damn! I accidentally beheaded my lady, I'm on the fifteenth day you say it will cause damage or is it simply like having "topping"? I patched the same type of seed 4 days ago and she reacted well. but this is broken and it creates fear in me

Topping during Flowering: good or bad?
Does topping “fast growing” colas during flowering (for light purposes) help or hinder flower dev and/or harvest? Or should I sacrifice tallest ones to possible bleaching? Canopy was level before flower, but a few colas took off, creating uneven SoG (6" diff)
