Plant looking like shit, please help

Just wanted to chime in about topping. It's hard to top a plant too early. As long as you leave two secondary sites to resume vegetation you have done it correctly. The earlier the better especially if you want a generous amount of tops on a bushy plant. There is no benefit to waiting to top.

Not really sure how the fish emulsion really works. But yes it looks powdered. So you should be fine. No need to remove or transplant your lady. Just take the lime 1 to 2 tbls per gallon and top dress. I've done it many times and thinsg should work itself out in maybe 10 days or so.

Makes sense. The new tops are finally starting to grow. Hopefully once I get my ph problem fixed and the lime has a chance to work she will take off. MG worked my first grow, but ive learned my lesson :clap:

Ya MG isn't my favorite by any means but it does work. You just have to keep yourself from feeding because you don't need it for the first six weeks or so. I'm sure you've heard of fox farm ocean forest on here. That's a reasonably priced fool proof soil that works like magic every time.

Okay so i went ahead and mixed some lime and organic soil, repotted, and gave her 4 oz water. I think she is starting to look better. tops have grown ~3/4". Would like to hear yalls input

Looks like you'll have a few awesome tops in a couple weeks!
Do you have a fan blowing on them a little bit? I ask because the stems look super thin
The "wind" makes them strengthen their stems a little bit and that is really good for you end game when your plant can hold more bud.
Just be careful not to overdo it! Make sure it is set to osculating and isn't jsut blowing on them 24/7

I have a bedside fan blowing across the top of the plant and across the lights. Are you talking about the stems on the tops? theyre only about 1.25" long

Ahh true, that makes sense. They are very small! But as you said it's probably because of the topping. They will shoot up in no time.
How long do you expect to veg them for? 70 more days and you'll have monsters I think.

I'll prob veg another 2-3 weeks, as my space is somewhat limited.

Shes certainly getting happier and healthier. Growth is starting to accelerate again. I think I finally got everything under control. Thanks all who chimed in and offered advice and insight!
