Hello all planted this first one about 2-2 1/2 weeks ago if that and shes booming, shes already overtaken the other plant I put in at the same time and a third (pictured) that I put in 3 and a half or so ago. I topped that one last week, and from day one shes been WAY smaller than the big one. The problem is its flowering season, a 3 month old plant I've got has been shooting out pistils for about a week (theres a picture of her in another thread ive put up a bit back) so I'm worried that if I top this good one, if she (or he, heaven forbid) is already about to start flowering I've ruined a perfectly good little bonzaier. Any suggestions, should I just grow it eu naturale , maybe train it as much as possible when shes bigger or take the risk and cut the topIMG_20180305_130757.jpg IMG_20180305_130811.jpg IMG_20180305_130645.jpg ?

That is up to you and what you want to achieve. It it was me I would top and let it grow a bit then tie it down and let the bottom catch up to the top

I know its FS that's my concern lol, I definitely don't have powerful enough lights to do that other idea tho, or enough privacy in my yard for a 3 pd plant to go unnoticed lol ill just let her sit and hopefully she'll get at least another foot before starting to flower, then the end result should be a nice little 3 footer :)

So now ive got these two babies flowering, they are about about 3 weeks at most into flowering, but it seemed to shoot pistils out slowly just like the one I grew under lights so it must be the same strain so its gunna be at least another two months of growth :) This strain definitely seems to prefer outdoor, the one right next to the stick was half the size of the other one a month and a bit back because I had to use shittier soil on the initial plant, but within two weeks of being transplanted into better soil its hot up and they are now both basically the same height :) Any opinions, advice, etc? Oh and I fed them both about a 1/2 tsp of cacao powder heavily diluted for a organic magnesium hit and they seemed to LOVE it, buds noticibly grew overnight :)2018-03-28 10.39.48.jpg 2018-03-28 10.40.10.jpg

I know right, every leaf is perfectly green lol even the lowest earliest leaves are still green :) I am sort of worried though because my flowering one a few feet away, ive just noticed has a very mild spidermite problem, theres webbing at the bottom of a couple buds (like a few mms worth, tiny little bits) but no webbing over the buds themselves and itll be ready in a couple days, so I'm praying they don't decide to spread to those two beauties. That said ive read before that healthy plants are supposed to repel pests so if those two aren't healthy enough to repel, I don't know what is lol most of the leaves on the one with spidermites are pretty fucked, I think its sucked everything it could into the buds lol, check my other post on the outdoor thread if you want to see photos of that one the leaves look a lot shittier now but the buds look and smell PRIME, like they look wet theres so much sugar on them :)

also just for your opinion, do you think ill need to repot that farther one? the pot its in now would be probably about 10 litres, maybe a bit more, the one near the stick has to be at least 15L

Think it would be a bit too late as plant already in budding , I got two haze plants in 10 litre pots ATM that I'm experimenting with just leaving them in .What I did was start all my plants in 10 litres then cut the bottoms and put them in soil . You'd need more opinions on that though I never really just left a plant in 10 litres till the end .

Nice looking babies. Topping is best utilized early in its life. LST with no pruning is where its at especially outdoors. It's gonna get your yields way up per plant. Lots of long thick buds. BUT IT HAS TO HAVE THE LARGE ROOT ZONE TO SUPPORT IT !! I would let that main cola develop instead of cutting it off this late in the game. It will be like your nicest bud. This technique of not pruning is fine because it matches the size of your pot.

They seem to be handling the direct sunlight quite well, already fattened up a bit overnight :) my only worry is I'm finding the odd strand of web here and there on them around the top, but no markings on the leaves anywhere to indicate spidermites so I'm not sure if its just a normal spider, in which case I just have to move it off whenever I see it, or mites. Would the white dots show up before any webbing?
