I usually top my plants between the 4th and 5th set of leaves, not including the first set, the cotyledons.Would you top this plant? Precisely where?
Not yet. Opinions differ about trimming, also known as defoliating. I tend not to trim a lot. I would probably wait till the plant is further along. Do take off any leaves that are touching the soil.Trim any lower branches?
Yes, eventually, when it's bigger. I prefer fabric pots. I use 5 or 7 gallon sizes.Put in bigger pot?
I don't know about cloning, but maybe.If I top it, can I put top in soil and try to clone? Can I smoke top?
it’s been over stressed and watered too frequently or not at all..Is this plant a re-veg from a flowering? I ask due to the fuzz like leaves.
I wouldn't top it or cut it in any way. I'd grow it out a bit, maybe another foot, then bend the top lightly to get more secondary shoots. I'd then take cuts and clone.
If that's a seedling, it has very different phenotype that I haven't seen in a long time.
What are the origins?
I'm going to remember that for my next grow.if i top i wait till 10-15 nodes that way you’ll get a more fuller even canopy.
It's a white widow from Seedsman. You can read my previous posts if you want the gory details, but in brief, I'm a newbie and this (and two Cream & Cheese CBDs from Seedsman) almost croaked from my rookie mistakes. Other seeds did die. I started inside and probably had the light too far, then too close. And too much water as folks mentioned above. I was about to toss it (a guy on this site did say "it's toe-tag time"), but I took my wife's advice "It's called weed. Throw it outside in pots in the garden and forget about it." Since I was going to toss it anyhow, I did so. And it (and the two Cream & Cheese) made a miraculous recovery. In fact the Cream & Cheese have done even better (see my other post today). However, at some point I became convinced that I was doing the exact opposite of the right thing by having them outside in winter. About mid-december I asked the group and the consensus seemed to be that the two Cream & Cheese were in fact flowering. They were about 2 feet tall at that time. I brought one of them inside (I was still gun shy about indoor lights) and left the other Cream & Cheese outside. With the White Widow I brought it inside but also supplemented with outside light for a total of about 18 hours (12 inside, 6 outside). I've since been told that bringing plants in and out is a very bad idea. I'd point out in my defense I have only 1 inside light right now.Is this plant a re-veg from a flowering?

Two questions for you....
1. How do you bend a plant? String?
2. Would you continue to bring it in and out, OR I could leave outside all the time (currently 10.5 hour days and days are getting longer - Southern California) OR I could bring it inside for exactly 12 hours of light. I don't want to mess up my Cream & Cheese that is currently flowering and getting 12 hours of indoor light.
Thanks!
P.S. I did try some clones from this already. They died. Again, I probably didn't know what the heck I was doing. I was confused about the part about "pick a branch with 3 to 5 nodes on it". Not sure what nodes are. I'm guessing you have to pick branches that would go on to form bud, NOT fan leaves.
P.P.S I feel like they should have in person classes on this stuff at the local community college or garden shop. It's complicated!
No. It’s sickly and needs to grow healthy first.1. Would you top this plant? Precisely where? Feel free to put a picture in Microsoft Paint (or similar) and draw a line at the exact point of cut.
No, same reason.2. Trim any lower branches?
Yes, when it’s healthier. I’d use the fabric pot. That will help with the roots.3. Put in bigger pot? I have a 5 gallon fabric available. I think this plastic pot is 2 gallons or so.
Yes. Read up on growing plants here or anywhere. Even the differences between growing in soft pots, plastic or clay. You know you’re doing somethings wrong and others have pointed thing’s out. So study up. You need to understand what’s wrong not just follow others replies blindly.4. Anything else to be doing?
Yes & no. When it’s healthy you can top it. If the cutting is big enough and healthy enough it will root. But you should follow normal cloning steps. Just putting it in earth will probably kill it based on your past attempts. Search this site to follow cloning steps.5. Bonus question(s).... If I top it, can I put top in soil and try to clone?
Not really. Leaves and branches don’t have much THC. You can dry it and make tea which can be nice before bed but you’re not going to be “high”.Can I smoke top? (well, I know I can smoke it. You can smoke anything including paper. But will I get high?)
Thanks!
