Damn I still have yet to top any of my gals. I'm scared this strain won't respond well to it, but at the same time I want MORE BUDS! :D

How long would you guys recommend giving the plants to recover after topping before flipping to 12/12? I don't want them to veg too much longer as I don't want them getting root bound,.

At least a week IMO. I have topped plants the same day that they get put in flower and have had *some* strains really react poorly to it. I always try to give a plant at least a week after I do anything that might induce stress. Top, up-pot, etc

I also set the boys aside and put them under some T5HO's for some pollen chucks. Hoping to f2 both of these strains. I might just use pollen from multiple males instead of going 1-1. 2,3 or 4 males to 1 or 2 females or all females but that's a fuck load of labeling and branches to be pollinated.

Are you growing them in soil Hermit? I've worked with 4 different high cbd strains now, and all of them struggled in soil. Had to break down and go buy the gear to set up a DWC bucket, and the Cannatonic #4 I'm growing is thriving in it now.

I don't know what the issue is exactly, but there's something to it. Almost like the root zone requires more oxygen than a normal strain or something. Keep an eye on it.... wondering if maybe the slow growth you're experiencing is a precursor to the same issues I've had?
That's very interesting because I just chopped a good medicine cross and it's the only plant to have had visible issues like that in my garden in almost a year or more. It did pretty well but had rusty splotches on the leaves and some started decaying rather quickly. She still put out well.

Simply amazing. Very gorgeous and love the long spears. Nothing but buds my kinda plant. You made these s1's?
Not exactly, but kind of. I had these two gorgeous Lemon OGs [DNA} go full blown hermie at week 5. When the Goji beside them came down a few weeks later, a little more than a dozen beans were found in some lower buds. Thought I'd see what one would do over the winter months. The spears are a result of an experiment in mainlining, because...why not? I chopped the upper 2/3 of the plant in veg and tossed it, then tied down the bottom 2 sets of branches for a couple of weeks before putting it in 12 / 12.

That's an F1 not an S1.

Unintentional, but still an F1.

Yes, I am in soil. It is not terribly unhealthy or anything, it just doesn't have much vigor. I have had some problems with rust spots on the leaves, but that seems to have cleared up somewhat since I repotted it.

Did not even see this post until after I posted above. Glad to see it may be strain related and not just me sucking at growing. Did you have any issues in flower?

Other than her being a sloppy bitch and flopping all over her sisters, I just did what I normally do and just sat back and watched. I actually chopped her last night. Ill throw up a nice pic of her in a few minutes. Let me just get off of my ass.bongsmilie

You have a very appealing style about your grow show. Me likey. All that labeling could be well worth it, I love making beans.
