do you have 4 side branches forming? if those are your pics above, they look fine. :mrgreen::blsmoke:

how come the first node on my plants dont have a regular 3 fingered leaf? they are single fingered, and they have cotyledons also.

Your assignment is to search the web for a plant diagram which depicts plant structure and post it here. It must have plant part labels. Dave was being plenty patient with you as he has with others. I have to agree with him, looks like you topped above the 3rd node.

The fate of the western world does not depend on your node selection. If you don't get the results you want, better luck next time.

Hey man, it would help if RIU would allow the thread starter to edit his own thread. I could have included a FAQ on page one to answer the redundant questions.

I (we) have addressed the first node issue until we're blue in the face. With very few exceptions, I refuse to respond any more and wish other members would take the same approach. I did address it again about 3 pages ago. If folks don't get it, it's not our problem.

At some websites, mainly FTA, if you ask a question that is addressed in a sticky or guide, they'll almost shoot you!

ub, i appreciate your help like no other, please be a bit more patient with me, i explained in last nights post that i am hard of comprehending things i read. i wasnt asking the same question you have been answering all along. my question is about the first node having a single fingered leaf rather then 3 or 5 fingered and does it still count as the FIRST TRUE NODE. otherwise why are you calling it a TRUE node? wouldnt all nodes be TRUE? this is where i became confused.

attached is a copy of my homework you assigned and if you look this plant has coty then 2 single leafs without a branch. my plants all have those single fingered leafs except mine has main branches coming off them.

also in your pics in the op, it shows a plant without the single fingered leaf. yours has 3 fingers.

Oh yeah, I've done FTA, too, and the FTA web forum sites are really tough! Those guys don't put up with anything.

Not like us here at Rollitup, we're chilled. :bigjoint:

The first true node is really easy. Ignore the leave sets that start initially, those arent a real node. Count two sets of branches above and pinch. If it looks too difficult, your overthinking it. Just snip when you have 4 real branches below your thumb, not counting the mini branches that came with the seed.

The first true node can have sets of single bladed leaves, or 3 bladed leaves. I didn't know 3 bladed leaves could be the first set up until a few days ago when my Skunk Haze popped. Some of them have singled bladed leaves at the first node. Some have 3 bladed leaves, and some actually have two bladed leaves. But the vast majority of time it will be single bladed leaves.

And yes it is a true node. If in doubt, always count the first set of leaves beyond the cotyledons(baby leaves), as the first true node.

Baby leaves = false node, next set of leaves = true node. Hence why he calls the nodes involved in topping true nodes.

Also in his pic, the first set are actually single bladed. The camera angle is deceptive. It appears 3 bladed only because you are looking at a 3 bladed leaf coming from the lateral branches.

LMAO!!!! At least we had several posts w/o someone asking what the second true node was; what a relief! UB, can you please take a look at the pix in the last post in my current grow journal? I'm having a yellowing problem and hopefully you can determine what the true cause is. I've pretty well documented what all I did. The link is in my sig. Thanks so much!
