TOP ? LST ? or wait ?
pitbulletstarted grow question 3 years ago
My first grow.
This is W3-D18. I don't want her to grow tall cause it's on a 1 meter tall room.
Should I top it now ? just LST ? or still wait ?
I'll post a picture of the stem and the leaves.

You usually want at least 5 nodes running up the main stem before topping. Topping will give you two tops instead of one, slow down the upper progression on the main stem and spread the growth hormones to the lateral branches making the plant bushier. If your strain is a strain that is known for getting tall then topping would be a good option.

Some people say top around the 3rd to 4th node and others say to wait till the 5th and 6th. Yours looks like it's ready to be topped. After doing so and waiting a week I would start to lst

Is she within a week or two? Goal is head buzz, energy, etc., last thing I need is sedation. :)Ready to harvest in a week or two? My eyes don't see well, I had to cut a small flower from near but not at the top. The strain is Trainwreck (Arcada Cut) from Twenty20. I'm getting anxious to pop a Green Crack Auto. No diary due to laziness, ill health, lack of motivation. 😀

Is it safe to tweak your light cycle times when you flip?I'm getting ready to flip and was hoping to adjust the cycle time when I do. My light is currently on from midnight to 6pm, but would like to switch to 9am-9pm or 11am-11pm to better align with my schedule. Am I safe to adjust or should I keep it at 12am-12pm when I flip? Thanks!Other. General questions

What should I do with my plants that have grown thicc to receive more light? - First GrowMy plants (1 auto, 1 photo) have grown a lot and are now pretty thicc. Should I remove some leaves to allow more light directly on the new growths from the nodes? More agressive LST? Leave them alone? They have grown in a weird pattern because of my LST attempts (see pic).

Enough LST for an autoflower?I was wondering how much LST and how intense the LST on an auto should be? I heard you shouldn't stress autos too much, that's why I'm extra careful and wanted to ask. (And yes I know it's overwatered, I'm letting it dry out at the moment)

Early flower and plant too small?Multiple questions: Is this the first sign of flower on the picture of D21 from sprouting? Doesn't the plant look to small for it still? How do I promote new node growth? Is watering roughly about 1.5L per week too little for nutrient influx?

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?

Lower leaves too pale or yellowing?I am noticing the lower leaves of my Royal Critical Automatic to be much more pale green than the top of the plant.
Is this a nutrient/light/watering/lst stress problem if at all?
