I'm on day 32 and the plant appears very healthy, but the nodes are pretty close together, I'm getting a lot of growth outward, but not much vertical. Any advice on promoting upward growth or pruning/topping would be appreciated.

Indica tends to be short and bushy, could just be genetics. Plant looks healthy, it's hard to see how many nodes there are, but are you ready to top it?

be aware of seed companies offering big discounts>verified good genetics or your getting just mediocre

Thanks for the reply. I topped it yesterday, but I'm curious on whether or not I should be pruning the smaller offshoots coming off the top of the main stems and some of the under growth(see pics).

Don't cut anything else off yet, should take off in a bit after topping.

Nice and healthy looking plant! Definitely a indica dominate hybrid judging by the wide leaves and node spacing.

I'm new here but have 6 years experience in dwc. In veg I aim for a leaf vpd between 0.8 to 1.0, 1.2 is more suitable for bloom. I would raise the temp and humidity. I think she's a little cold.

This post was awhile ago. They are in week 2 of flower now.
Here is a current shot of her. She's the one on the left. The other two are Runtz.
