Day 30 of Veg (Nov. 23, 2010)

TOPPING DAY!

Decided to top them after seeing Wally's results and pics...see his journal above! :)

LegallyFlying.. I think I have enough room, currently got them under 2 lights, flowering I have 3 lights for the same number of plants so hopefully I have enough room...

Today I topped my babies, every single one of them. I followed Uncle Ben's Topping Guide. They had all grown out to about 5-7 nodes, so per his stickied thread, I topped them above the 2nd true node (not counting the cotyledon node). Wow, what a haircut! This took about the top half of my babies off! I was a bit nervous after taking them down that much, but I'm sure they will respond awesome within a week or two. I hope so at least!! :)

Here are the pics...I probably won't post another update for about a week or so...want to let them recover and see how they turn around in next 7-10 days! Can't wait to see the bush-factor come out from this topping!! :)

Day 37 of Veg (Nov. 30, 2010)

1 week after topping! :clap:

So today is exactly one week since I topped them using Uncle Ben's method...they have a little bit of nute burn...not sure if this is from being transplanted into the super soil mixture or the combination of that with the Fox Farm's nutes...I've tried to back off the nute levels. I'm following the Fox Farms feed chart and currently using their entire line. I am giving 2/3 strength of the Fox Farm's nutes according to the feed chart. Despite the bits of burn on several of them, none of it looks super severe to me. I am a beginner and not afraid to admit that, so this is after all a learning process. Hopefully next go around I won't burn any of them...but given this is my first real attempt, I'm happy with how they are looking, despite the burn!! :)

Pics of most of the individual plants...see the spotty burn on the tips/edges on several of them?

LSD #6 has humongous leaves, is consistently taller than all the others, so much so that I had to move it to the edge of the lights to slow its growth and get the others taller quicker to even out the uneven canopy. Also, #6 seems sparesly foliated....thinking it may be a male, or just a super sativa pheno. It is huge and leggy compared the other more squatty bush-like plants.. Different phenos I suppose? Comments on this? Jock Horror looks fabulous still.

I've noticed the emergence of pistils on about 2 of them...hoping to see more pre-flowers emerge in the next week or two. Should be about the right timing, around 6-8 weeks from seed right? Its been 5 currently..

Looking good
Thanks man. Do you all think LSD #6 looks male? Seems awfully leggy and sparesly foliated..I had read that was more of a male trait. I haven't seen any balls on any of them yet and I did a very thorough inspection this morning. Just curious if you think LSD #6 looks male or if I'm just tripping and thats just the sativa'ish pheno or something...Comments?

Thanks guys!

Sativa more probable....all my Lsd's came out female so far...I have read and seen two distinctive phenoes... sativa like and indica like...but the high was the same

Thanx for keeping #3!!:mrgreen:

Looking great and I really didn't see any but maybe a slight burn...you will find they do love nutes...and will P deficient on you easily...they are P hogs

Awesome job on first grow my friend

Yeah a sativa pheno is kinda what I was thinking. Interesting..

Thanks for the tips man, much appreciated. I have heard they are indeed P hogs during flowering, so I will make sure I give em plenty to eat :)

Keep that ph below 6 to keep the P flowing..Ooh nevermind I keep thinking your running hydro.
Nah, running the super soil mixture Fox Farm's plus additives.. :)

Glad to have ya onboard Fatality, I update very often and post tons of pics so get subbed up and stay tuned!! I need all the help I can get, first grow and all.. ;)
As for the WW or WR strain and topping....I have no idea, but Uncle Ben is certainly knowledgable, its apparent from simply reading any of his posts that the guy knows wtf he's talking about! :)

Thanks,
