usually like to top them 2 weeks before flowering if i can help it. so the plant has recovery time if needed. this time we are doing it one week before flowering. we werent going to top this time around but at the last minute we decided to top 3 of them so we can compare how the yields differ between topped and not topped per plant. since they are all the same strain it should be a good experiement. hoping to gain good personal knowledge by experimenting with every grow so i can excel in this art.

i have heard people top 2 weeks into flowering. but that doesnt make sense to me. id rather have two solid defined tops before entering flowering. plus give it recovery time. any one know if im wrong about that?

Not only do your plants look fantastic, but the photos are great too! I have some week-old seedlings and if they look half as good as yours in a month I would be delighted. What strain are you growing?

Thank you brotha, preciate it

about the strain i do not know. it was some really good lookin bud that was grown outdoor. so hopefully i can make it just as good if not better indoor. it is showing that its pretty indica. i kno there are some people that can name strains from pictures. if anyone has any ideas...:joint::joint:

Your plants look great. As for your experiment comparing yield from topped plants, i don't think it is really valid unless you know what exact strain you are dealing with in each case. I much prefer to grow outdoors but recent circumstance has forced me to be an indoor grower,I wish a good yield upon you my brother..:joint:

sorry for buttin in on your thread but im in week 5 of veg and my plant is half that size. it looks healthy. im uncertain what the strain is. i got it from some of my smoke. it could be that i have a 15w floro. first time grow and im just growing with what i got. i just need some advice. thanks

im no genius but Id say the 15w of fluoro is definitely your problem. I'd look into getting more/higher wattage fluoros or perhaps a HID light if you can afford it. Some basic info here https://www.rollitup.org/newbie-central/937-how-grow-marijuana.html If you spend some time looking around these forums they are a wealth of information. Good luck. :blsmoke:

i bet outdoors is fun. i wish i had a place to do it. i will sooner or later.

I was thihnking to find out how plants in general yield. im not trying to learn about this strain. but instead find out which plants yield more if there is even a significant difference. i kno there r lots of variables that i cant keep constant so it really isnt that good of an experiment. but im hoping to get an idea wut plant has more total weight after the end and then hopefully apply that knowledge towards topping or not topping. but i really was going for a fim. how dope wuld 5 tops be?? lol :mrgreen:

hmm. i would have to say its your light.. i have mine under a 400 watt mh. i had 13 seedlings under two 32 watt cfls then when they were on their 2nd set of trues they got the metal halide. they transitioned fine. i would say up your light system a bit. if your only doing one plant and your budget is tight i would stick with flourescents. but you are going to need more. remember to transplant too if its a small pot. the roots love big pots, they grow accordingly.
good luck:joint:
