Stunted or Dying?

So, 1 of my 5 plants is being a bit of a bitch.

For the past week, there hasn't been any notable new growth. And i mean, like...At all...

I've done nothing different to this plant, than i have to my others except top it.

Weekly, i will cut down all the excess fan leaves that have grown relatively big, or block light down to the lower nodes.

Well so far, it's been okay to do. But im thinking

due to how much i trimmed off this one plant particular, then topped it, Should i expect it to die? or is it just stunted for the time being?


( It has 2 top nodes left, and the leaves arent exactly wilting, but they are clawing and changing a little in color. )

The rest of my plants, Are either A. ) Not topped, or B. ) were topped before i cut excess leaves off.

The plant is basically 1 big ass stem with 2 nodes at the top.

( I'll post pics when my lights come on tomorrow )

How ever, my other 4 plants are showing amazing new growth and size growth since ive switched from using regular water, to nutrient water with Fox Farms Grow big solution.

Okay, i should rephrase.

2 plants were topped, 1 isn't doing so hot, the other is doing fine. WTF is her problem? lol.

Some plants are just fucked up or need special needs.
I'm assuming these plants are from seed and not clones.

I wouldnt take off any leaves that are healthy.
Those lower sites will be nothing next week.
Just let it grow.

the leave are like solar panels

Yea, bag seed for sure. Oh well.

So what's the consensus ? should i just cut it down and make more room for my other plants ? Or stick it out another week or two, and see if theres any change?

Let it grow and don't mess with it.
You need more patience for growing plants.

if its a female just let it grow... i have 2 bagseed blueberries and one i left completely alone and its growth is noticable everyday and the other i kinda lst'd and topped twice... didnt have noticable growth for 2 weeks and now its starting to take off with 4 equal height bud sites... just give it a few days and it should resume.... plus the cutting of the fan leaves might have slowed it down; as mentioned before it is the plants solar panels.

why do you cut off the "excess leaves"?

post a pic so we can see what you are talking about

Added a pic to the original post.

Also, to answer you indoor sun; I've been cutting away the bigger fan leaves to allow for more light to hit the lower nodes of the plants.

Basically, once those smaller leaves began to spring out, i'd cut away the much bigger, light blocking leaves from the middle nodes, making sure to leave the top ones intact.

No no no no do cut any fan leaves you are shocking and stressing the shit out of your plants. If you wanna move the fan leaves super crop them dont cut the fan leaves are like a radiatior it keeps the plants cool. Dont ever cut them unless its a must ask questions before you chop shit tbats what RIU is for

-.- Dude, i asked so many people about pruning before i even did it. They all told me it's okay, some stunting may happen, but it results in better oxygen circulation around the plants.

And either way, these plants aren't going to get much bigger anyway. They're already at half the height i want them to be.

So i've thrown them into flowering mode.
