Those new shoots are way immature to be worrying about anything just yet. Give her a week and I'd bet everything looks normal again.

Yes, they are supposed to look like that. In a week they will look normal and you will have 2-4 tops.

Thanks for both of U. It's my first time hst, so am not sure what to be expecting :)
Am thinking about keeping this new comming nodes and ones under em, those next to first fans.
Should i remove the grown under? I meant two first nodes and 3 bladed leaves? Isn't it going to be to much stress for her?

It's really personal preference to remove the lower branches. While it makes the plant focus on growth to the upper buds u lose lower popcorn buds. I don't mind the lower buds cause it gives me something to sample.

You should wait a couple days before you trim anything else just to make sure she doesn't go into shock and hermi on u.

I dont bother much about lower popcorn, used to lolipop ale my lsted lowryders, this time wanted to try sth new, so decided for feminised sativa and mainlining.
Am planing to keep 4 main colas so 4 nodes sound enought. Think am gonna remove those nodes from one bladed leaf and leave those 4 upper as my main grow ;]
Hope upcomming days gonna show me some grow :)

"Female Seeds Grapefruit is a new style sativa, early maturing, fast flowering and maximum yielding.
Buds have a soft smell of grapefruit, sweet taste and intense tropical high.
This is a 75% C’99 x 25% strong fruity sativa, stabilised on early maturity for some generations now"

According to what breeder says

Yea...wide leaves, finishes around 8 weeks..sounds real sativa
Show me a fan leaf with 15 fingers bout a 1/8-1/4 inch wide and look at a 24 week flower

Now a sativa high it may have.....but it does look 25% indica or so, I would say a tad heavier based on the leaves

No hate though man......I've only ever grown landrace sativas
I'm sure you'll be very happy with it..I've seen several grows of it all with positive reviews

Sativa looking or not, am sure it's delicious. Missing the smell also hmm..
I think it is recovering after topping, seenable half inch grown of nodes within last 24hours! :)

I'm sure the buds it produces will be delicious. However, your plant is indica dominate. The short stature and fat fan leaves is a dead giveaway.
This Pineapple Express is Sativa dominate.

another thing is this kinda werid curling look of leaves, they are not like that all the time, just for most of light time.
IMG_20131106_224210.jpg
it's not a heat stress cuz light time temps keeps at 70-73F.
Humidify is about 50%, could be higher but my cfls need good vent to keep good temps ;p still it's rising in light offtime heh ofc
Or maybe they are just okey and that am whos overreactin' or looking for hole in fine wall hue? ;p

Are you sure you have mites? That doesnt look like insect damage to me. Dont treat a problem until you are sure it IS a problem and you can confidently identify specifically what it is.

I think you are trying too hard. Let the plant grow and establish itself before you start pruning. You really want to let it grow up so you can see where the most productive points will be. I dont prune until a couple weeks into flowering, after the stretch.

The leaves are fine. The curling is normal, the leaves dont have enough room to stretch out yet.
