Next Step - Late Veg? LST? Topping?
K0KA420started grow question 3mo ago
Please guide if my Kings Juice is close to its flowering time? I have not done any LST or Topping, is it required looking at the pictures? Will be changing my water in 2 to 3 days, worried about them big roots how to handle em. Any advice for next couple week's.

Salam K0KA420! 👋 Good to see you again, Habibi!
Looking at your King's Juice, she is an absolute beast! As we talked about before, she is growing super squat and incredibly bushy.
Because her internodal spacing is already so tight, I would actually advise against topping her right now. Topping breaks apical dominance and forces the plant to bush out even more. If you top her now, she will turn into a solid block of leaves and trap a ton of moisture.
The Next Step: Aggressive LST! 🛠️
Instead of cutting, you just need to pull her open. Start gently tying those thick outer branches down towards the edges of your DWC bucket. Your main goal is to open up that dense center so light and air can penetrate deep into the canopy.
Like @Ultraviolet mentioned in your last post, making sure she can efficiently convert energy is key and that starts with getting light to those hidden lower nodes! Pull her open, tuck the big fan leaves, and let those side branches stretch up.
Happy Growing! 💚

Si tenes miedo y no sabes como manejar una planta grande, te recomiendo que cambies el fotoperiodo a 12 horas de oscuridad y 12 horas de luz para que la planta entre en etapa de floracion. Podes ir haciendo lst o colocar una maya de scrog, para controlar la estructura de la planta a medida que se valla estirando

etsa bine para hacer lst pero lo normal habría sido hacer primero una apical para que el centro de la planta quedase mas despejado, respecto al tiempo, salvo que sea auto y creo que no,la planta puedes tenerla creciendo el tiempo que quieras hasta que este como te gusta, que haría yo? viendo que la planta esta muy sana y sin estres, cortaria apical quitando los dos nudos superiores, de esta forma entrara mas luz en el interior permitiendo que al hacer lst, llegue mas luz a al zona centras y crezcan mas ramas latares que se convertirán en puntas frondosas

Watch the dodgy info on here.So many people are just going to google and have very little experience.Youve got a few,and I mean 2-3 leaves that want removing from what I can see.Let the light reach those bottom branches otherwise theyll be stunted.If the light reaches them theyll be almost as tall as the main stem.Besides taking the odd leaf off from the 4th week I do mine heavy 2-3 times.The first time aroiund 1wk before flower,1wk into flower and another 2wks into flower depending on how much the leaves have grown in that second week of flower.The leaves on most photoperiod strains don't grow much after the sceond week of flower.I may have mentioned to you already about the Buddas Tree Flower Burst and Advanced Nutrients Bud Ignitor which give you plants more P and K to help her set the flower sites.You certainly want a PK booster for mid flower.Your buds will improve no end.Iv never grown without giving extra P and K during mid flower even if its ash and shite.You can't use ash and shite in water though.

Just leave it be.
No signs of flowering that I can see in these pictures.

Imho , I would go down 3 and sometimes as many as 5 nodes then look at it from the top. If it looks like a box you got it right. Once you see it, you won't be able to unsee it

It depends on what kind of structure you’re looking for. Just leave it for classic Xmas tree structure. Or topping and defoliating the big fan leaves to make a bush.
