Sooperdooper
started grow question 5y ago
Would it be good to Top/fim this plant? It seems to be growing consistently, I don't want to do anything to reduce the yields though.

Can I clone and mainline that bit I topped?
Hi guys, if I top my Amnesia, I mean, literally top them, Like straight cut at the 4th node, maybe? and leave the other 3/4 node above.. May I clone that topped bit? If so, since It should be growing like a normal plant as should be sprouting from the top, may I mainline that?

Should i top her? Or too late
Should i top her? I haven't trained her at all. The day/night scheme will be 14/10 for the first time in August 25th, 12/12 a few weeks later. So she will start flowering in a few weeks and she will only flower for 6 weeks since she is a fast version.

Is doing LST and Topping at once okay?
Hello, I'm considering doing LST and topping at the same time. Is it okay for the ladies or is it too much stress at once?

To top or not to top an autoflower
As I can read when googling, it’s a hit or miss to top and auto. What’s your experience? Should I go for it? My plant just started her third week.

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).

3 weeks in. Fan leaves the size of my hand. Topped today. How long until 2nd topping?
Directly planted seeds in organic living soil. These plants are vigorously growing, topped today. By the way things are going I believe that the recovery time will be very short. All organic ingredients. De chlorinated water with vitamin c. Fan leaves are larger then my hand
