NOTHING! I grew this strain out and this plant does not take to topping ect. same with tangie matic. let the plant be and tie it down to expose those branches to light. go to fast buds website and read about this. fastbuds have good strain but you must follow what they say. when they say do not mess with the plant they mean it. you will lose yield. do what you want though.

Hi @shomuteao! Your plant should be way taller at this stage, she's late because of bad conditions so I wouldn't add any stress for now. My guess is that she's suffering from lack of light/sun, so try to maximize its sun hours by bringing her to the sunniest place you can find and do not hurt that baby until she's strong enough to handle stress. Hope this will help, let me know in the comments section if you need any further information, and happy growing! πŸ‘Š

as soon you get 4 or 5 node up then start i would wait until next one come out before starting look at mine now i started them at node 5 then tie each top gently then every 2 weeks to top more ...wait ....then tie new sprout down and so on and on

Honestly your growing outside height isn't an issue you can turn your pot so lighting isn't an issue. I would let her grow in her natural form. She's at week 6 she is very small I would not stress her any more. I hope you get some warmer weather I believe it has stalled the growth of her root system. When you get some warmer days and her growth takes off make a decision then. Good luck hope this helpsπŸ‘

No I wouldn't add stress to this plant. It is small and going by your veg time and being an auto should be close to flower stretch. Hope this helps good luck πŸ‘ keep growing

With only 4 nodes it would be an hardcore LST , it can be done but I really recommend you to top just after the 5th node to be sure that the plant is strong enough to handle the stress. If you top just after the 3rd node your plant will survive but she'll loose a lot of time to build a shape.

No way man, wait until its at least an inch or two bigger. You don't want to kill her. And then you want to bend the top over. Topping is a great idea but you'd still want to wait a week or so I think, I've heard good things about fast buds and I've done it on all my plants.

I am usually all for topping and lst but in your situation I wouldnt recommend doing any lst due to the size of your plants. They are pretty small and lst will slow down their growth even more. I dont see any calmag issues. I would just grow these out naturally and take what you have learned to make the next grow better. Good luck

I'm growing fast buds but just had first round of nutrients this week at like day 25 from seed and I started to bend the blackberry over at day 21 not far from the size you got now .the amount of nutes you gave in soil at 2 weeks caused some slowing of growth and I would do just water for a few days . LST when she is healthy and don't over do it a little every day for a few till she goes over no rush and over saturated roots will kill growth as well wish you the best going forward ..cheers

themilkman answered grow question 1 second ago I will have to disagree with frosted_cannabliss, if there is no sign of a cal Mag deficiency, there is no reason to screw with your nutrient regimen. You run the risk of causing a problem when one did not exist in the first place. The new growth is a little pale, but that can be normal. If they seem to be heavy feeders, I would bump up the base nutrients a little. In reference to LST...as soon as they have enough height on them to bend over I bend em...wait to long and you risk snapping the stem. I would feed a little more and start bending. That is my .02.

No, i would not. I get it though Day 31 should have been able to by now, but she is dwarf. Wait another week or two, more vertical height. Also you should give her cal-mag looks like she needs it ... I hoped that helps . Be patient. Excellent job btw!!πŸŒ²πŸ’¨πŸŒ²πŸ’¨πŸŒ²πŸ’¨πŸ˜€
