dont top the plant man. its way to late for that. but you have to do something. your not getting any light on the top of your plant. thats the most important place for the plant to recieve light. thats how you get a fat ass cola. i would suggest moving it out of that box if you can. if not you have to figure out a way to get some light on the top of that plant. but it looks good and healthy. not stretched so it doesnt need toping.

alright so i just bent it over toward the corner and tied it with a little piece of string. i can't move it out of the box because it will smell too much. i actually still need to finish making the box so i can close it....gotta get that carbon filter going!

well i walked into my apartment today and caught a wiff of the plant (which i keep upstairs in my closet). it's been 30 days in flowering and i have not had the money to make a carbon filter yet. i live in a full apartment complex really close to a college campus (i can walk to the campus in less than a minute) so i don't want too much smell getting out. i realize i should have finished my box before i started flowering but i just got too anxious. :wall:

i do not want any more smell to get out in my apartment and since i cannot afford to make a carbon filter, i am thinking about chopping it down. it isn't in the best shape so i'm not too hurt by chopping it down although i'd love to keep it going. will this ruin everything or can i still harvest what i have grown so far? i understand that it's best to flower for ~70 days but i will be unable to do that. some pictures below.

well it's getting close to harvest time. the plant is not in the best shape but the buds still look great. probably about a week left. it's been flowering for 9 weeks now. hoping to get around 3 grams from this yield. nothing huge but it'll be my first completed plant!! :mrgreen: i'm excited to finally have this done even though it's not the best. in the early stages i accidentally added a little too much nutrients so that explains the brown leaves. pictures are below, lemme know what you think!

closed my box door more so there was only about a 2 inch opening. kept the temperature lower as well, that helped a bunch. it is still stinky, but not as bad as it was. after i'm done with this grow i'm going to finish my box before i start the new grow hah.

I think it's about time to harvest but want to make sure. I know sometimes the plant should be in flower for at least 60 to 80 days usually and depends on the plant, but it seems like this plant has taken a while. It's 105 days in and still the trichromes haven't changed color much. Should I go ahead and just harvest the top and leave some buds on to keep going or cut the plant. These pictures are from about 2/3 up the plant . You can zoom in to see the trichromes. Thanks for helping a newbie out!
