Yeah I'm hoping so! My last run I had enough extra space for 3 more so hoping these all fill it nicely.

Day 15:
Plants are all looking great! I can see the 5th node that I'm going to top. Not quite out enough for my liking so I'll say within a day or two I should be able to top the selected 4. Have a great Sunday everyone!

Well I got restless tonight and was staring into the tent and decided it was time for a haircut. The Cosmic Apprentice, Marathon OG, Alien vs Triangle, and Strawberry Gorilla all were topped at the 5th node. One or two weren't out quite as much as I wanted but as far as I can tell I got all the heads chopped off cleanly without damaging any of the new branches near them. Now to see how they react, with the rate of growth on these so far I imagine they won't miss a beat.
Hey man, do you top for bigger yields, or for more control over shape of the plant? I’m on my first grow, so obviously have no experience with it…looking good tho!
Hey, so I am topping the 4 here more so to keep a manageable canopy. Compared to the other two they look like they will be taller already so this mainly helps manage height and keep them as even as possible. I've heard it helps yeilds but the only other plant I did it on was decently smaller and the yeild wasn't as much compared to the others. Not to say it would have been better had I not topped her but it was the smallest of the group. Still some good smoke and the fastest plant Ive ever had though, 2.7oz in 56 days.
Day 16:
I watered all of them with some recharge pH'd to 6.5 today, about 30 ounces. The 4 are doing excellent after the topping, didn't miss a beat. I'm sure they will all perk up some more after the recharge today, they always seem to. My final plant from the last run is nearing completion so everyone should be getting into their final spots here soon(finally). Have a good week everyone!

Nothing really to report today.
Day 18:
Plants were thirsty when I checked the tent this morning so they all were watered. Starting to drink a bit more, almost to the point where I can just hook them up to the res and water without so much thought. All of the plants have roots poking out of the bottom of the pots so right on schedule!
AvT has been a dream so far, took the top without issues and has just been chugging along. Has yet to have an unhappy day so far. If the smoke is good I may just add this one to my regular list. Hasn't shown sex quite yet, almost.
CDLC is the shortest of the group but is definitely still keeping up. Squat but very broad leafed, already showing some colors so pretty excited for flowering to hit. Hasn't shown sex yet.
Ogreberry might just have to be a scrubed, I noticed something on it when checking for sex that look like balls. Really kinda torn on what to do with it as I've never had one herm on me yet.
Cosmic Apprentice is one of the more beautiful and perfect looking plants in the tent. Excellent structure and nothing has seemed to bother it yet. Started to show sex a few days ago.
Strawberry Gorilla is turning out to be a strong contender as well. Excellent plant so far, very easy and not fussy. Up there with the CA for plant looks/structure. Started to show sex a few days ago.
Marathon OG, the largest in the tent so far and my secret favorite pick. I have high hopes for this plant and it's not disappointing yet! Beautiful structure and growing very quickly. Would have never known it was topped. It started to show sex a few days ago. It has been being slightly underwatered as it's drying out the quickest and this one has just been going a little too dry. Will be starting to water them more individually now rather than as a group.
And finally a group shot after some leaf tucking of the 4 that were topped.
What are your guys thoughts on the Ogreberry? I only see 2 balls(I think?) And if I'm going to be chasing that the rest of the grow I'd rather scrap it now. Let me know what you think. Have a great day everyone!

Yup, that's a ball sack... If it's the only one, remove and keep an eye on the plant. Otherwise set apart from the others, like outside if you're able.
I wish I could put it outside, unfortunately too risky. I made the hard choice and just pulled it as I found 3+ ball sacks.
I'll update here in a bit with it's replacement!Similar threads
