you must top them buy cuting the top set of leaves off, it will heal itself and gfow two branches where the one was cut. then let it grow another set of leaves or two then do it again untill desired branch count has arrived

Here they are. I went and checced them out today only to discover a few had been rained on pretty hard. Two of them looked drowned but ive seen that before so i know they will come bacc to life. One has brown spots on it . Is that a nute burn? The others are okay but im starting to see more insects i guess the stuff im using is not working ? Any Suggestions on a good insecticide

you can top all of those. as long as your not flowering its ok to top when ever.

bleezy is right you can still top them during veg. Yours are still in the clear!
You might just want to do it to one to see if you like it better, i tryed it on mine last year and thought to myself that some of them would have probably done better without toping, but i guess thats just my opinion so top if you want

Try pulling some of the weeds and grass around them too...they might be competing for rootspace....just a thought.

Cool...if you're doing everything else on here in the growfaq, just be patient and give them time, I'd say...some grow faster than others, and those other plants coulda been choking em out.And its been some weird weather in the U.S lately.

be careful with the superthirve, I have heard that if you use it thoughout the growth it has possiblilites of turning your plants to hermies.

wait i dont understand what you cut!
im getting paraniod my plants getting HUGE!

do you mean the actually leaf you cut the tip off, or the whole leaf?
or do you cut the leaves that are forming on the top?
or the you cut the tiny leaves comming out the branches?
im kind of lost and dont want to do anything with my plant until i know whats up!

hey man, try lookin up FIMming your plants. Im doing it to all my clones and it gives great results. When I FIM them I keep the main branch but all the bottom branches start to grow up towards the top and then you can fim those to when they get to the same height. Ive gotten nearly a pound per plant outdoors before by doing this after about the third node. You get tons of bud sites and the plants grow REAL bushy.
