Mammophstarted grow question 4 years ago
I read that some growers practice fim pruning right out of the seed phase to have the most bushy plant possible.
as I am a very impatient person, I jumped on my plant which had barely formed its triple leaves and made a fim pruning. What are your opinions ?

Best practice is to wait until around fourth week of veg to give her time to develop stronger roots. Your seedling is very young and might slow its growth. If you got good genetics it will probably survive but most likely you just slowed her growth.

Too late to do anything about it, but topping autos is not a suggested technique.
Your plant with its barely formed growth was nowhere near ready for "fimming" and all you have achieved is to stunt your plant by topping it at such an undeveloped size/age. Impatience and cannabis cultivation do not belong in the same sentence.
Unfortunately it will probably take 2-3 weeks for it to recover from this extreme and traumatic event and to start growing normally again, meaning very little real time for it to grow before flowering commences.

That is very young, the reason they suggest waiting until the 3rd abd 5th node is more about the plants root development and its ability to bounce back quickly 🌱👍

18 weeks, but I'm not sure she's ready.The plant is 18wks old. Leaves are getting yellow, some buds are so fat the branches bend under the weight.
I'm worried some pistons are still white and I can still see some clear trichoms, but she's 3 weeks after the recommended date of harvesting.
Do you think she's ready?

Foxtail Ready For HarvestHello. This plant of mine became foxtail. As the harvest time nears its end, blooms have begun to bloom again on their hills. Now the first flowers at the bottom are ready for harvest. What should I do? Should I harvest immediately or wait for the new flowers to mature?

¿Por qué no se desarrollan lateralmente?Tengo algunas teorías:
1) Exceso de riego (por problemas varios, he tenido que regar 1 vez por semana en gran cantidad (demasiado)
2) Estres por movimiento (debido a tormentas y otras razones, muevo las plantas de ubicación varias veces por semana
3) Exceso de fertilizantes?

What do you guys think?It's my first grow (automatic, 6 weeks old) and compared to other plants, my plant looks a bit small/ridiculous. I give her 24/7 light (I read that on guides) is that maybe too much? What's your impression of her? I use two growlights (one from above and one from the side).

Why dont my plants grow towards the middle/light and instead concentrate near the walls?Looks like my plants are growing towards the wall and not towards the middle where the light should be the best.
Why do the plants behave like that and what should I do?
Raise the net, rotate some of the plants, then redo the net?
Remove the net completely?
leave it as it is?

Is this a sign of a hermaphrodite?I'm afraid one of my plants might be hermaphrodite.
Today i spotted something that looks like male pistils.
I removed them carefully and found something similar at the plant and removed it aswell.
Should i remove the plant from my tent (3 other plants are inside) or keep it?

My Girl's Gone Rogue with 10cm of Frosty Goodness!My lady decided to shatter the whole "week 10 harvest" and instead shoot 10cm, packing new flowers whiter than a yeti's behind in a blizzard!
This genetic curveball beats me.
Do I let her keep this frosty stretch, or do I harvest and let this mutant masterpiece become a solo act
