Is almost 3 feet tall and I can only see one top (the main one). All the new leaves she growing are fan leaves and I don't understand why. What can I do to help her make more tops?
U have to top it urself..lol..pinch or cut off the top of said top..lol..each top turns into 2 tops and so on and so on..look up topping or fimming.. also lst training can help..lots of info out there on all these topics..lmao that was alot of tops in one paragraph.. ahahaha
Ok I didn't wanna top this round but I guess I will do. If I top the first time for 2 tops do I have to wait for recover to top again for 4 etc?
Pictures always help, brother, but if you choose to top them, you typically have to do it often. I top mine as soon as I see a 4th node and usually top 2 to 3 times per month until a couple weeks from harvest, which is end of July for an outdoor grow. The picture will show you the difference.
Well if ur not comfortable topping, which is pretty simple(and yes u have to wait for them to establish the new tops before topping a second time, about a week or 2) try some simple lst, where u tie u branches over, that will also help..YouTube has so great videos for beginners!!!
And yes, start early like @caljian said..ur about 3ft high so im guessing ur way past 4th/5th node..lol..im sure someone can advise u what to do later in the game
https://ibb.co/HqGYzrs New tops were very dense so either I topped her or fimmed her.jl Just did it. Either way im gonna get more tops right? So basically even tho she is big is like i have a small plant cause only one top and whole plant with only fan leaves is waste. Fuck
I have actually done both with some success, but yeah it's better to start early. I honestly don't feel it's too late, though. A topped or trained plant will always have better quality bud if done right and at 3 feet tall, you still have plenty of time. I have grown some monster 10 to 14 footers in my back yard before I started topping LOL. But at the end of the day, you have a tree rather than a plant and the problem there is your buds nearest the sun will be great quality and will continue to be shit the further down the plant you go. Topping them means less bud, but bad ass quality because the sun can reach those colas. Hope this makes sense. Peace
Where R you? We are into flower outside down here now I imagine. You are late to the party for topping an outdoor plant now I'm afraid. Not a total loss, you haven't killed it yet. lol
For some reason, my mind is still stuck in June LOL. Yeah the flowering window where I live (Central California) is July 25th through August 5th, so one top might help, but pretty much done at this point. My personal rule is no topping after July 15th unless they are flowering early. Might as well ride her out now.
If u r growing more than 1 plant, even identical clones, they just don't develop identically. maybe with "perfect" light/soil/water???
Also, some plants just really grow columnar, almost no matter what. I Love columnar pants! Yields can be astronomic too! This is a plant I've grown I topped it just before flowering and finished with 4 huge 6ft tall mains. Strain is Thai Chiang Mai from ACE (and currently used by them on their site).
