K so this is my first year growing. I forget the exact day I started my plants, but i know it was late march/early april. I've been giving them organic nutes, and so far just like a 30-10-10 (or something like that, I forget). So, here are some pics of them that I took today, and if anyone can give me some input on how shitty or good they look, if i should top them, or anything, I would appreciate it greatly. Thanks,

CanadianGrowMan

They're looking nice to me but what do i know. From what I've read they look ready to be topped. Check my grow, yours looks to be about the same as mine Hammy Downs {Pictures}.

Thanks man! I'll do that in a couple days.. or maybe tomorrow. depends on if my grow partner is up to it or not the spot is a decent ways away from where i live so i can't just make trips any time. Also, i'm not overly clear on HOW to top... do i just trim the top of it just above the last node like with a razor blade or scissors?

Its not necessarily beneficial to top all plants. It only increases yield for some plants, if you know your strain you could find out. According to my medical grow bible, jack herer, durban poison and mighty mite yield more from being topped. however on other strains the main cola is where all the bud weight is, and you dont wanna top them, unless of course you're worried about the height drawing attention. I would recommend removing lower, spindly branches, not the top...

They're looking good however, you might want to use some bug repellent as I can see something has been nibbling on your leaves.

I'm also in a situation similar to CGM, the seeds grown were just from good bud I smoked and I am unsure of whether to top them or not. Also, I was wondering how to go about increasing the width and overall strength of the stalk. Any input is appreciated.

Ok, so I decided to try LST on a couple plants and topping on another couple. I just have one question about LST... how long should i leave the plant bent for?

topping in general creates more bud sites and vigorous growth
