Closet grow, beginner, RudeBoi Og

[ellabad19]

24 years old. Closet grow. 600w LED lamp, 3 gallon fabric pot. Happy frog soil x perlite medium. FFT nutrients, just banana so far. Small fan for ventilation. Veg lights are on 24/7 right now!
So it seems like the leaves on the bottom are darker than the ones on top. Some of the young leaves are curling as well after its first thorough watering in its new pot, so possibly just transplant shock?

how olds the baby? looks great minus the new twisted growth

I’m actually not sure, I got her at a dispensary and the young girl working was having her first day at work and knew nothing of the clones mediums, nutrient supply or age. I was lucky there was a sticker with the strain name.
I also have no idea how to guess accurately by looking at it, this is all around a first time for me! Kind of frustrating because I’m not sure when to throw her into flower. I’d like to do some LST first and hopefully get a clone from a cutting.

can flower her anytime clones are already matured as they are cut from a female parent

So essentially, do I grow her as big as I can before flowering? Aka more buds?

 

[CapollaLabs]

completely your choice, aslong as its well rooted and in a nice size pot thats why its so much greater to grow indoors, full control over everything

don’t flower them yet maybe in 2 weeks with that light ... you should cut its top too...

Okay, I’m a little confused what the difference of topping vs normal LST (bending the main stem and tying down for a week)? Doesn’t topping risk hurting the plant significantly?

LST is low stress, topping defo hurts your plant but it would bounce back theres lots of great threads on here about all the techniques

i wouldnt worry about your light either for now, My first grow i used a 50w LED UFO and got just over an oz dry with no techniques used

It won’t hurt it’ll allow the lower branche to catch up resulting in better weed

Defo hurts the plant your cutting one of its limbs off hahaha, would you be 'fine' if i cut the top of your head off? thought not

Topping doing it right will help your yield as it has helped me get a extra Branch with bud sites
