Vegging manifold gone wrong. How should I complete? Pictures..

Hi guys hope you are all well :)

When originally doing my first topping on my Kosher Kush plant (Reserva Privada) I accidentally broke of the right hand side growth tip. I've then super cropped the remaining growth tip (seeing as this is the only neutrient highway left) and allowed the tips to grow out.

I'm now wondering weather I should top her again to give me my 4 colas, half a manifold and allow to veg accordingly or should I just let her go from this point utilising lateral branching from the 2 colas growing out.

She is 23 days in veg. All oppinion is welcome. :weed: cheers guys:weed:

You can rebuild it to 4 easy peasy as long as the nodes are still opposing and bot staggered.
Let the New stems harden off for a good 5 days after they start growing before attempting to bend em.
I've broken a few myself.
And slow bend if you're not confident they'll take it.
Topping it for 4 like that will make some pretty awesome colas.

Yea I'm thinking 4 colas are best I just topped and super cropped for 4 colas. I also LST them down. I'll let her veg for another 1 - 1.5 weeks then its stretch time. I hoping for some glorious amazing colas.

Would anyone uterlise the lateral branches as she goes or shall I remove all lower growth when necessary?

Thanks all

I agree. Just treat it like it never happened and top it again and train it as you would have. As for removing leaves i would start filling in your net and then remove the under growth that is not receiving much light because later on it will just be larf and wasted energy to your top colas. Good luck.

Thankyou for taking the time

Do any of you create manifold structures? It's only my 5th grow and I seem to be doing this every time (looks cool) but vegging takes me about 4.5 - 5 weeks. Is this a normal time frame or not? Would I be better topping at 4-5 node and use all the grow tips? Also do these methods increase yield against nice bud or visa versa. Thanks again

Yep just topped again today to get my 4 colas. She's growing very fast now that I got my DWC system spot on. I nearly started again until I thought she could look pretty cool in the end.

Hi again guys :joint:

Here's just a few pictures of my plant 6 days from the last post.

I trained her remaining arms over and topped again to get my 4 colas. It's a bit of a salvage job but I think she's going well.

I'm at week 4 of veg today and was wondering if anyone would veg for another week and get more nodes on each cola tucking under the net as they grow. Or put into flower now. Also what would be the effects of both if i did either. The strain is Kosher Kush (Reserva Privada) and I have about 1 meter of height to go in my custom made Top Fed DWC stealth box.

Thanks again

One thing about growing your own plants is you get to make the decisions about how you want it to look and produce. If it were mine i would top it again when its ready and then veg for another week or so to fill in the net a little more. The when i switched to flower i would continue to tuck for a couple of weeks during the stretch period to further fill up the screen. Remember the more you top the more colas it will produce and can increase your harvest 2 folds sometimes. If you check out the 1st few posts in my journal/blog you will see the general idea.
