Are you watering from the top until the roots can reach the bottom of the pot??... I usually hand water from the top for about 9 days until they grow legs, then I just water from the bottom... I am still watering the two new mothers in my big tent by hand, from the top and they have exploded... Maybe give that a go?

Yep, I've been watering from the top, and I hand water all of my plants. I always make sure the area right around the stem gets wet, so I know the water is hitting the roots.

Then that's weird.. I am at a loss.. :sad: Maybe just a funky couple of plants... How many SLH do you have? and you grew those from seed didn't you?... I was lucky enough to be given established cuttings...
Still even at four weeks they should be a little bigger hay? But again, I reckon they'll come good for you... :-P They are past the super hard part now they just have to get comfy and grow...

Hey DoeEyed, just passing through to get your full update. Congrats on the babies. Everything else seems to be going to plan. Re the one you chopped early, perhaps the nanner is inside one of the buds. I have seen this before, the bud grows round the nanner, causing minimal spreading of polem, but the area around the nanner is pollinated. It's only when you break open the bud that you see the male flower.....I am sure it will stick get you nicely stoned.

Have a good week,

Peace, DST

Yeah just the one SLH, she was from seed. She was doing great befoe getting put into the big bucket - I think I transplanted too soon, and waited to feed too long - now probably overfed. lol Need your opinion - she's the size now I usually top at, would you top her or no, with her struggleing?

Thanks for stopping by, DST. You're probably right. The bud is taking forever to dry, my drying closet is probably a touch too cold right now. I wanna try it! lol

Congrats on the clones rooting! I'm sure the remaining ones are just behind a bit and will catch up. When do you plan to transplant them to dirt?

Thanks!:bigjoint: Wasn't sure if they would do it, coming off three week old plants! I was still considering when to plant - what would you suggest? Wait for twice the roots as they have?

The SLH is pretty small Doe, I'd probably give her another week before topping. Just to be on the safe side, and to give her a little more time to recover, she's your only seed, so err on the side of caution... :-)

So is that SLH about the normal size that you would top your plants at? It seems so small, I would be scared to chop a bit off my plant when it is so tiny. Thats why I didn't top mine I just crapped out of it. Think i'll try it on my next grow.

Pretty close. I usually top when they reach about five nodes - that's where she's at, just growing in the fifth node now. If you look at my clones - they are about the same size as the top of that plant. Only, usually they reach that size for me around three weeks old, not four and a half. She's about ten full days behind, in her growth.

Good I'm glad you are talking about this doe... I've read the threads on topping but I was wondering if you could tell me exactly where you make the cut????

You bet! Sorry it took me a minute, modified a pic to show you where to cut.

1 is the first node on the plant. Single bladed leaves usually, and not a "true" node.

2 is the first "true" node on the plant.

3 is the second "true" node on the plant.

The cut is half an inch to an inch, above the second true node. Cutting here will give you four main colas.

I would cut it. That's consistent with where I usually do it. If you go higher or wait longer, you'll get more smaller colas and end up cuttin off the poor performing/shorter colas in the first few weeks of flowering to send energy to a select few.

Hmmmm - what to do? Think I'm gonna have to cut - who knows? Maybe it'll spark her to better growth. One other thing on topping - I usually cut right at lights on, they seem to respond just a bit faster - I read it's something to do with the growth hormones being more in the roots at lights on, and more in the top after a day of growth. On another note, the last Chronic seed I planted sprouted last night, so that's 9/9 germination rate for that round. Yay! Planted the little ones in soil last night. Hardly slept, though - I always have a hard time when I have seedlings. Ugh! lol
