So ive plucked and snipped all sacks off. I went branch by branch and took off anything that resembled a sack. If they come back i will remove it from the grow room and put it outside. Maybe use that bud for friends when they come bumb bud off of me...lol

This is my first auto, and I have never done the topping much so I don't have advice on autos however, I have grown 3 year old unknown bagseed and one hermied and I still got good results when plucking as many as I could away, so I don't think it cause as much harm unless your totally picky aobut your grow.

I haven't smoked in awhile so I'll be happy with a half ounce at this point even less, cause I went in with no expectations. I have a feeling it will be ok. Tend to the nuts and let it roll.

Lavode, I just checked out your link as well so I won't chime in to confirm what others have already said.

I am going to speculate that your Divas are small due to the lighting. I am by no means an expert, but I have always been given to understand that with CFLs you want at least 100 watts per plant. I simply haven't been doing this long enough to offer any definite reasons for the plant being small.

Edit - BTW, is the handle Lavode in homage to a certain fantasy author having the last name of Brust? Just wondering, because if so, I too am a big fan...
Yes it is XD im glad to see others have my taste in literature. and im not too sure if it is the lighting because i put her outside and she still didnt even grow half an inch, ive read on other sites that it might be a dwarf and another person has had a La Diva like this. Im saying this also because ive seen other grows with only 2 lights so less than 50 watts going. I might be wrong who knows lol.

No. I plucked it already too. Just to be safe.... it was on a lower inside node area. Wouldnt have gotten much bud from it anyway....

So i found two 2 foot 2 bulb t5 strip lights in my pile a shit i got laying around. Still have to wire them up tho. They have 3000k bulbs installed. Im thinking ima build a simple grow box for this hermie plant, throw these lights in with a couple fans, and put her/him in there. I dont want any seeds in my other girls so im not goin to take any chances. Got to pick up some mylar soon but ima get started on this asap. Ill post pics on this build/setup. Kinda reminds me of my college days. Lol. Also gonna add a couple cfls for blue spectrum light.

Well i got the lights wired. I had what i thought was a nice cabinet but its too skinny. I laid it over on its side and mounted the lights but its kinda short now. Plant fits perfect now but has no head room to grow. I think ima keep looking for something better.

I dont want to spend any money making this grow box just to accommodate a hermie. So if i cant do it, it will go outdoors.

Brust is an awesome writer. I have lost count how many times I have re-read the Vlad series.

So here is what i did so far with the shit i had on hand. I used one of the t5 two bulb strips and ran it diagonally on the top. I also installed a 6500k cfl for some blue spec. The t5 is 3000k i believe. Still need to add mylar and a fan.

Checked the girls. Ended up feeding today with grow+bloom+liquid karma+sweets at 1/4 strength. Temps steady at 84 degrees F and humidity at 54%.

No new sacks on the hermie one... im keeping an eye on it till i finish the box. So far so good.
