Hey Growmie, not bad for your first go :facepunch: you want to check the trichomes, a 30x jewellers loupe for about 15$ will help a lot. You’re looking for milky and amber trichomes, mostly milky, some amber. Otherwise, look at the timeline the seed brand provided, are your pistil hairs turning orange? Is the plant not drinking as much as she used to, etc… and then make your call… happy harvest Growmie!:sunglasses::flag-ca:

I don't like putting anything on my plants unless absolutely necessary. Gnats are the easiest to get rid of. Let the top 2 or 3 inches of the soil dry out and they're done. Their cycle is so fast. The eggs die off. The dirt is to dry, so they leave.

@GrowingGrannie, I topped it about 4 or 5 days ago. There doesn't seem to be any signs of stress so far. The compost I used has enough nutrients for over 4 weeks. She's now 40cm tall and raised the light to 13"

@GrowingGrannie, Thanks for the tips I appreciate it. It's an auto, but I've topped it before I saw your comment's. I now hope she's strong enough. I've now bought some nutrients although I can't remember the name of them right now. I'll take some pictures and update the diary as soon as I can. Once again thank you

Is this a photoperiod or an autoflower? If it's a photo, you can certainly top or fim her but this is the earliest in the plant's life that you would do that. If it's an autoflower, don't even try as it's too stressful for the plant and she won't have time to recover. She's awfully short for her age... try raising the lights to about 18" - it'll help. And I don't see any info on any nutes that you're giving her... I think she could use some good NPK to make her stronger. Good luck with your grow!
