Which bud?Sunshineโฆ just finish the bud!!!!
I wouldn't trim anything just yet, there's not much there she can afford to lose at the moment. If you tie her top to one side and slowly bend the main stem over over a few days, all the lower branches will start to grow upward and eventually you'll have a bunch of branches of the same size that will turn into tops. I always do this when they are young so the lower branches can catch up with the top. Here's a couple pics, one is a couple weeks before the other, you can see how bending made her branches grow up toward the light resulting in a bushy canopy that will have more tops and less useless popcorn bud. They just went in the ground and I will train them further in a couple days after they settle in... gotta update my grow diary soon too!70 Day Quickie Photo.
I do believe it's time to do some trimming on the big plant.
Tonight is another fertilizing night and I'm increasing the fertilizer to half strength versus a quarter strength.
Really impressed with this one girl and she's got the capacity to be a huge plant.
Going to try to keep her in veg mode as long as possible.

I just put it on the main stem somewhere in the middle where it's strong and slowly bend her down over a few days by shorteningthe wire and eventually moving it up or adding more wires. You can see in that pic I have a canning jar ring hanging from her top to weigh it down more cause she got too tall and far from the rim of the pot... There's no wrong way to LST really, you just have to keep adjusting as they grow. Just don't pull too far over at first or you risk uprooting or snapping her. I always do my LST after they've had a drink and are a little more pliable.How do you know where to bend the main stem, the branches?
I've seen video guides but they are difficult to tell what's going on.
Well I'm currently going for a tall plant so maybe LST really isn't something I should do for this particular grow.?I just put it on the main stem somewhere in the middle where it's strong and slowly bend her down over a few days by shorteningthe wire and eventually moving it up or adding more wires.

Hello. I admire all of the work you put into the super window, that's great. However, in the future use,a seed starter soil or use a very light dose of seedling solution and do not add other nutrients until the 2nd or 3rd week, keep the lught at about 15-20% for seedlings and after the third week up the light to around 40-50% power for vegging, take it slow and you should be fine. Good luck with the grow my friend.Day 30 Update...
My plants are struggling to hold on, while I continue the process of recovery.
At this stage I'm applying kelp and micronutrients, vitamins and root hormones in VERY small amounts.
I have a product that's designed to help in the aid of recovery when making a mistake.
I'm also am pHing my water to 6.35
Making sure my humidity levels are between 60 and 70% as these are technically still seedlings after 30 days.
The good news is there are signs of life.
I do believe that these plants can be saved.
I don't want to give up on my purple babies.
You see, my plan is to give away a lot of this marijuana once these all mature into adult plants.
I believe that purple is the color of unity and spirit and royalty and I want people to be able to experience a moment of Peace in their life during such a hard time as this.
I'll save some for myself to smoke and to make some edibles but I hope to be able to give a lot of this away because there aren't enough people giving free weed to those in need.
No I don't, have a proper grow room and I have very limited space but I'm going to work with what I got.
So well I've done now is I've also increased the microbe population.
I have made my soil healthier and more attractive to the beneficial fungi and bacteria better in my soil as well as more appropriate balanced conditions.
I believe they will make it. View attachment 1233921View attachment 1233922View attachment 1233923
I love Kyle Kushman.Sunshine - This video is totally worth watching. He's one of the best in the business and explains very well what and why he does what he is doing to this plant.
I am not suggesting doing any of this to your plant(s) at this point, but this is great knowledge that he is sharing that you can use when your plants get to a point to be properly pruned and supercropped if you so desire.
He's right unless u want clones or have a ton of space outdoors. Looking at the macro view he simulates the final after stretch space and par value to the colas if u dont want larf. The only issue with that hst is they break when u breath on them later unleas u support them all well...Sunshine - This video is totally worth watching.

Might be a Q.I'm wondering if this girl is developing seed pods?
Is this a hermaphrodite?
these are female preflowers you can recognize these by the 2 "hairs" protruding from their ends... some strains show theseI'm wondering if this girl is developing seed pods?

Ahh ok, yes I saw hairs on the others, but all those pods I guess are going to be bud sites?these are female preflowers you can recognize these by the 2 "hairs" protruding from their ends... some strains show these
I'm a new grower, prob not the best person to ask, just yet.Nice grow girl. Check me out please..
