second topping @third week

GoldenWeedGrowerstarted grow question 4 years ago

I would like to perform the second topping on saturday (at the end of the 3rd week) on the two top branches. I've drafted a sign on the picture where the cuts will be made. Do you think they are ok ? In your opinion the timing is ok ? Thx

Hi there, I belive this is a auto plant, so taking that in to consideration the tend to pre flower at day 28-30ish if not shocked to be earlier, so I would say you have 7 days left until pre flowers, take into account the healing time of a topping which is recommended 7 days, this will slow growth down at a vital point that you do not want, I would say leave it let it grow but its totally up to you. Haply growing my friend 💪💚

Is this the autoflower shown in your diary. If that is the case I would not have done any topping and certainly wouldn't do any more.

How many tops did I make here, and how/why?So I topped last week, now this doesn't look right! 😅 why is there new growth from the main stem? I topped my Gorilla Cookies and this wasn't the result. What did I do? What will the result be? Please indulge me. Thank you 💚

Top her a second time?Do you think I should top her a second time, or is one cut enough? Should I consider flipping to 12/12 soon? I don't want to fill the outer squares of the net and give her some space. Thank you very much :)

Are those nutrient defficiencies? Which ones?A plant had interveinal chlorosis on new leaves and then proceeded to show brown patches between veins on middle leaves. Another has coppery brown spots on leaf edges on the middle of the plant. Both were rootbound in living soil (peat/perlite/hummus + ammendments).

Topping/Cloning Question I am planning on topping at node 5 and using the clipping to plant in a rockwool pellet for cloning. Would I still need a rooting gel if the clipping is being placed directly in a rockwool pellet? Appreciate the read, happy growing and learning.

Benefits of FIMing vs Topping? Specific example.First grow. Looking at FIM results I'm super confused! It looks like if I had waited for the next segment to emerge and topped it (pics), I would get the same 4 branches (potential colas) AND 4 fan leaves which I have lost now due to FIM? Did FIM benefit here at all vs Topping?

Are the gals safe to top or are they too stressed?I've heard that you shouldn't top your ladies while there are any deficiencies or issues as it can be extremely stressful. Considering the light spotting and slightly burnt tips, would you say these gals are fine to top or should I wait until everything is perfect and dialed in?
