this square 13watt 225 Bulb LED i making this little skunk plant grow nice!

[mixin]

so a buddy planted a random seed in some hard dirt just outside his house... it germinated and actually grew up about 5 inches and just sat there in a state of suspended animation... after watching the poor thing just do nothing i decided to give it a better life.

i hit up walmart and grabbed some miracle grow potting soil and grabbed a 2-3 gallon bucket and i transplanted it, and put it under some blue leds that i found on ebay.

after getting it on a strict 18/6 light schedule (after noticing it is a girl) and it is really producing FAT green leaves! it looks healthy as can be. it is rather short (maybe about a foot) after about 3 weeks of good watering it.

extremely healthy is how i would describe the plant now. i don't want to get my hopes up but at this point i think i could turn this slow growing but short and stocky plant into a massive bushy bud maker for the spring. i think if i cropped it right and just keep it looking like it does now that i could create a giant bushy plant that is a freak of nature (to me at least)

any ideas? what is the best way to crop for a big bushy plant?

Depends on strain. I've had afghans show at like 10" high and sativas that are 6' before showing any hairs. That a very generalized statement to throw out there without knowing anything about the strain.

Give it a try! Top it, then top it some more and more and more. If you keep it at 18/6 through the winter then it will try to flower when you first put it outside cause the light cycle is close to 12/12 at that time of year! Feed it nutes high in N and low in P & K to hold off the flowering and then nature will take it's course after a month or so. This is sort of what was done in this pic, but not quite started that long before spring. These were started in Jan/Feb and put out in April. This was taken August 1st-they are 3 feet taller now and budding like crazy.

it looks a lot like this one. it is really starting to thicken up and each set of leaves are wider than the previous and super healthy
