Mared, it seems to me, if you have the info in front of you, you make good choice's, do what you feel is right, use the force, I bet it works out.

A few days of nutes then, reevaluate then, the bottom buds never get a ripe as the top.

So do you like topping or not, I like one big one better than two smaller ones.
Yeah, no more topping for me. The buds on the bottom 1/3 of the topped plant are shit. They still look like week 3. The buds on the untopped plant are actually plumping up and starting to brown in the pistils a lot more than the other. I don't even know if the bottom buds on the topped plant are smokable but the natural plant has dank nuggets all the way down to the coco.

save the bottom buds for the moochers,LOL, I put'em in the bubblebags.

You might want to try bottoming some, on your next grow.

I was considering lollipopping but look at my bottom buds on the untopped plant - some are pretty juicy. You will be able to distinguish the bottom buds on the topped plant from the untopped's bottom buds pretty easily. However, I should note that the topped plant has far better trich development on the upper buds than the other. I think this is mostly due to it being a weakling plant with no tolerance to nutes rather than it having fatter bottom buds. Maybe not:confused:

LOL @ the spiders. That's right on. The fatter buds in those pics actually come from the weakling. The nute/acid hog is the topped plant and has WAY more trichs up top but is weak at the bottom.

That berry bud is closest to the door and right near the ground. I have to constantly pick dog hairs off of it. There's no way to keep the dog hair out short of having one of those cleanrooms in between my living space and grow room.

Thanks. I wish I had more plants or at least that these two were clones. I'm not sure whether the differences I see are genetics or a result of the topping. The two plants had completely different needs for nutes, acid, etc, so there were more differences than just topping. But given that the untopped plant was the weakling and has a lot more bud mass at the bottom I would not recommend topping unless you want to experiment. Many people state a reason for topping is to make shorter, bushier plants. But my topped plant is 5 inches taller than the other one!

I had actually seen that before when I was trying to find out something/anything about this strain. I didn't want to believe the guy because of the unpleasant odor remark but I feel like I have to believe him now. I get a whiff of it every now and then. But still mostly the melon and pine aromas. He sure seemed to have a tough time with veg. I'm interested to compare my yields to his. 1.5 oz each from 35" plants. Hmmmm.

Maybe you should see about yellowing them up, you might have lost a few days, due to the nute burn at the beginning, but your close.

I used to loss a week all the time when I first started.

I think it's time. I find that microscope deal frustrating to keep in focus but I could swear I see I some amber on some of the trichs.

Here's some pics of my clones. It's been a while. One grows normally, four are super bushy, and one is stunted. I've been having real trouble keeping them out of the lights. Lots of burns you can see.

More info you ya.:?

Strip the bottom of one of those things, make clones out of the cuttings, root and go 12/12, for kicks.:twisted:
See the one at front left. That's my Paris Hilton clone. It's so gangly and stretched out. I can't imagine what it will look like after the early flower reach for the sky this strain does. I'm thinking of cutting up the whole plant. I could get at least ten nice clones off it and use those one-gallon bags I have. Root then veg for just a week. Have you seen fdd's thread. https://www.rollitup.org/indoor-growing/71026-next-line.html 5 days of veg. Me likey the results.

The stork brought a little something today.

I scuffed'em and threw them in R.O. without even thinking, IDK if your ready to germ. but mine are in the drink, can't stop'em now.

Just the thing, had a f@cked up afternoon:evil:, all mad:evil:, sulking:roll:, check the mailbox:shock:, things turned around real quick:mrgreen::joint::blsmoke:

I guess people are trustworthy in Europe, the envelope can be opened and resealed, LOL, easy pick'ins at customs, this one flew under the radar,obviously.

I'm not ready quite yet. I want to harvest my big girls before I put the clones in the flower room because I want to setup a drainage system and it will take up some space. I just gave the flowering girls their first plain water flush today so not more than two weeks and I'll be ready. Levi kind of got me paranoid about the smell though. He said that Bubblicious is super stanky.

Freebie wallet? I'm jealous.

I'm up way past my bedtime stressing over my decision to start flushing today. Here's the state of things as I could best capture them in picture form.
