That's a great idea, I find it's better, well with micro pots to focus on a smaller number of tops View attachment 887440


The trick is too push her as hard as she can without killing her whilst young :naughtystep: let her devolp some nice pipes, :dizzy:




This allows you to grow lots of hard nugs that sit in the tents sweet spotView attachment 887444

:thumbsup:

Nice little plants, pretty much just what I'm aiming at.
These are 1L autopots, right?

When do you think is the latest time to top or FIM with respect to pre-flower?
 
Sorry Maria i cant see a bloody thing

Micro Med Madness - Day 16 + Topping

So I decided to do the topping now, on all except the smallest, the Sweet Pure CBD photo and the two Jackpots.

Not topped, still weak plants from seed.

Dinafem - Industrial Plant CBD Auto
This may end up more of a FIM than a top. Shall find out in a few days.

This plant already shows nice secondary growth.

Hopefully in the next few days they'll start to take new shape.
Also waiting to see when they'll show pre-flower. Maybe ... a week?

Love and hugs,

Thanks, @Avalanche Blanch !

They're just recovering from their topping now.
Those little side branches starting to show through.

The Strawberry Cake has an interesting branch feature.
Rather than the branches coming out at the leaf joint,
they're actually noticeably higher up. Looks freaky.
Will try to get a pic. But this lady has the best branching by far.

Have been putting them all at the window in the late afternoon.
Let them get a little natural sunlight, and also from different angles.
 
Here's the branching on the Heavyweight Strawberry Cake:

The laterals come out higher up than the leaf-stem intersection.
Never seen this before.

Otherwise, she's branching very nicely, strongest of all the plants.

The Honey Peach and Charlotte's Angel are also responding fairly well,
the Industrial Plant and Sweet Skunk are a little slower.
Meanwhile, I'm leaving the Jackpots and Sweet Pure un-topped, as they are quite small.
 
Maria's Marvelous Micro Medical Marijuana Madness - Day 21

Day 21, week 3, rolls around.
They are picking up after the topping 5 (?) days ago.
Some are responding better than others.
It's been a little slower than anticipated.

No signs of flowers yet.
Which is good, because I want more size before they start.

Am definitely thinking about a bunch of small LED lights.
Maybe 4 or 6 of them (2 or 3 per side), at 23W or 27W.
That will bring in from 92W to ... 162W more light.
Will get "warm" colors, about 3000K or so.

The Family:

Sweets on left, others on right.
Small pots, 1L = photos
Larger pots, 2L = autos

Individually:

Sweet Seeds - Honey Peach CBD Auto
Coming along nicely after topping.
Leaf issues after diatomaceous earth soon to be gone.

Sweet Seeds - Sweet Skunk Photo
Slow post-top recovery
20180411 Micro Meds - Day 21 (3).jpg


Sweet Seeds - Sweet Pure CBD Photo
Untopped. Slow, but healthy.
20180411 Micro Meds - Day 21 (4).jpg


Heavyweight - Jackpot Auto (x2)
Ticking along. Leaf blades were 1, 3, and then 3 again.
Maybe they don't want to grow up, stay babies??
20180411 Micro Meds - Day 21 (5).jpg


Dinafem - Industrial Plant CBD Auto
Quite slow recovery after topping. Otherwise all good.
20180411 Micro Meds - Day 21 (6).jpg


Dutch Passion - Charlotte's Angel CBD Photo
Slim, delicate plant. Branches also slim, but starting to take off.
20180411 Micro Meds - Day 21 (7).jpg


Heavyweight - Strawberry Cake Photo
The heavy brancher. Healthy, dark green.

Plus my DWC lettuce (with rocket in front and kale at back -- all overwhelmed by the lettuce):
20180411 Micro Meds - Day 21 (9).jpg


Hoping that the branches will fill out in this upcoming week.
I want to cover the area with green, before flowering.
Will move the DWC vegetables to the floor in front of the shelf.
And fill up the shelf space directly under the light with the herbs.

Love and hugs,
MJS
