Damn that sux....Hopefully everything will be good......:joint:
yeah man shit sucked but at least she is still alive and the white hairs continue to multiply on a nightly basis so i think she just might make it. and i just found out exactly what topping meant. i thought when u "topped" it that the main stem grew out 2-4 "new" growths from it. i see that it just keeps the plant bushy and helps redirect energy to the shoots. the main stem doesnt continue to grow, DUH! but i really did just find that out lol

thanks for lookin concord, yeah it sucked but shes still growing good almost an inch on the new "main" branches since two days ago. i got alot more light now so im hoping the buds get more dense soon. when do the calyxes or whatever begin to swell??
