Hey Growmies! I'm definitely a newbie, but I've learned a shit ton in the last year and wanted to reach out and maybe get some input and advicefrom the og's!!
My space is 2×4.
KingLED 1500.
Just switched to 3g fabric instead of the 5g I've been using.
Fox farm "Happy frog" only.
(I ran "Ocean forest" and "Strawberry fields" originally, but I'm questioning all my earlier decisions, and trying to save unnecessary spending) ‍
I've been adding 3cc/gallon of "Fish shit" but don't really know if it's really beneficial?
Pretty much 20 on 4 off light, regardless of stage and a pretty steady temp/hum throughout the grows (83°F/50%rh).
So... I've got a total of 7! Lol
1) Sour Stomper #1...
I've grown her twice before and LOVE the Grape, but she's a tiny one...Very! lol
At any rate, I have 2 now at 23 days. So I decided to test out "Topping" on the first girl, and leave her sister untrained since I already know she's not gonna get very tall regardless. ‍
I topped her 2 days ago, and it was stressful but painless.
And she seems to be responding just fine with 2 new node sites! (1st pic)
Sour Stomper #2 is the 2nd girl.
Runtz was a top recommendation, so she's number 3.
The 4th Chica is named "Mystery" cause we don't know what the fug her heritage is! Lol
Pretty sure she's an Auto and her fat ass leaves tell me she's probably Indica? But who knows.
Guy's, if you've read this far. Thank you! I haven't posted to a forum in years, but I was a "Moderator" on one many years ago, and have nothing but positive experiences.
I dabbled with the FB Groups recently, but imo it's literally more entertainment than actual knowledge sharing. ‍
So...then I got a gift of a very highly recommended 3 pack of Zkittlez!!!‍
Not only did they arrive in 4 days, they germ sprouted in 24 hours (coffee filter h20 dark), and broke ground in less than 2 days!!
So..... I'm more than willing to take any and all recommendations of what to do with pretty much all 7, other than the 1st Sour Stomper who's already been topped. (She's already showing 2 tiny Pistils btw)!
My current plan is:
"Top" SS#1.
Do nothing major with SS#2
LST at 4 week on Runtz...
No plan for Mystery yet???
Sorry so long if anyone actually read this far, lol. Thanks again!

Hey Mosh69 .. Looks like you've got the green thumb!! :greenthumb:

Welcome to AFN, and looking forward to seeing more of your grows!! :d5:

Happy Growing
Blue ^_^

So, I got the 4 big Sisters out tonight to water and decided to go ahead and bend down Mrs "Runtz".
I've already topped Sour Stomper 1... gonna let #2 grow natural I think.
And my "Mystery", which I think just might be CDLC (I hope)... I'm undecided?
Anyway, real simple LST on Runtz tonight...anchored her to one side and bent the top over 90 degrees. Now we'll just see how she responds and decide how to tie the rest down later...

So... I just realized I haven't updated this thread in a couple weeks!
The 4 big Sisters (2 Sour Stomper, 1 CDLC and 1 Runtz) are now at roughly 6 weeks, and thriving pretty steadily, I think.
Just to clarify...I topped 1 Sour and left her twin completely natural. I did end up also topping "Mystery" or what we hope is CDLC, and WOW! They all seem to LOVE the topping imo.
Then Runtz, the only one of the bunch I bent over... she's either stunted or just super tiny. ‍♂️
Mrs. Natural started flowing first, but they're all pretty well into flower at this point (day 46).
And the 3 Zkittlez are now over 3 weeks and I got such a positive result from topping the older girls, I decided to top 2 of the Zkittlez too!!! Lol
I've gotta admit, I'm a converted LST guy...I'm topping everything from now on...lol

And her Sister Stomper...

We think this is Mephisto Crem de la Chem... but not 100%
But she got topped and looks very healthy and happy!

And lastly...Runtz.

I need to take new pics for sure!!!
But, I'd love some comments on topping and you guys opinions on this grow so far.
