I waited until week 7 to super crop and top my two Haze x Skunk plants. Originally I wasn't going to do either, but when they grew above my lights and were over a foot taller than the rest of my Indica crop I decided to give this method a try.

So, I bent the main stalks over on Dec 6th, and then topped them going down 3 nodes the next day. I switched over to 12/12 exactly one week after I super cropped and topped. It has been 9 days since I topped them and I have NO NEW GROWTH! Did I top too late? Should I revert these two plants back to 18/6 for a bit longer so they can grow new tops?

Now I think I should have just bent them over w/o super cropping or topping...

I AM NOT SURE OF THE RIGHT ANSWER FOR YOU, but there is a valuable lesson here for all of us.

One time my 14 year old teen son decided
I wonder what will happen if I try to deep fry these canned potatoes in my new Fry-Daddy?

ANSWER
If you do not know what will happen, then do not do it. He almsot burned the hosue down, and he did $9,000 in damage.


I always TOP at 2, 3 and 4 weeks int he VEG cycle. Bro, you topped too late!

That sounds like a terrible way to live. Actually, that kind of contradicts the term living for me.

Anyway, I want to focus this thread on what I should do from this point forward given the current situation. If anyone has any helpful feedback I would really appreciate it.

At this point I'm thinking I will switch these two plants back to 18/6 until I see new top growth. Neither one has started to flower yet, so hopefully they'll be OK.

I guess I'll just have to shoot myself in the head. Life as I know it will cease to exist if I can't successfully harvest these two pot plants. The problem we face with the US economy is child's play compared with the global significance of these two plants!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Are you for real roseman? Why do all the weirdos always post on my threads? I thought coming to the "advanced cultivation" area would "weed" out all the kids who usually post advice just to hear themselves talk in the "general" section.

I need some troll repellent for sure...

Yeah, I just pulled them out of the flower room and stuck them back under the T5. I think it was actually super cropping just prior to topping that stopped their ability to grow new tops in time. I should have done one or the other. I've read that sometimes super cropping adds 2-3 weeks on to the veg cycle. So, I'll just veg em another couple weeks and see if that does it. At the end of the day, these were free seeds from seed boutique so it's not the end of the world or anything.

I think CAUTION is a sign of maturity, and trying something and not knowing what will happen is a sign of immaturity, is the point I was trying to get accross to you. (btw, I'm 59 years old, I've done 9 successful grows over the past 4 years, and I wrote the Grow Manuel for Stealth Hydroponics. I have learned not to test the deep water with both feet.)
Twice you've told us that you was doing something and did not have a clue as to what would happen after you did it, and I was just trying to point out to you that is not wise to do.
I won't be back to this thread, son.

I have read that changing the light cycles back and forth can cause plants to hermie.
I wait till I see the sex of the plant , then LST , top etc. usually 4+ weeks.
