Hello. I topped my Pineapple Express about 2 weeks ago. Out of the now 2 main branches that started growing from the top node, one of them (left in pic) looks unhealthy, and it drooping/disconnecting due to gravity and its increasingly heavier mass of a branch. Is this rotting? Or pest involved? Or is this normal/fixable? Thanks in advance for any tips on what to do or what not to do.

The topping accomplished what you wanted it to... it split into two branches. I don't really see any notable difference between the two sides, although there is always a little variation between growing stems as one always seems dominant. I wouldn't worry at all and would quit hovering over them like a schoolgirl at a Sadie Haswkins dance!Just a joke, but don't worry about every little spot or spot that you see, especially in older growth. You seem to be doing well, just don't go crazy by overfeeding it or messing up whatever you are currently doing. Your topping went well, your plants look helthy... keep up the good work and quit mothering your plants and let them grow unmolested! They will thank you later.

Thank you for the feedback . I will put my mini skirt away lol.

While on the feeding subject, I need some guidance on feeding them also.
I purchased FoxFarm Organic Big bloom and Grow big. Only used organic Big Bloom (0-0.5-0.7) one time so far, 2 days ago actually, after transplanting them into 5 gallon fabric pots.
My ratio was smaller than what the directions recommended, i used 1 tablespoon (3 teaspoons) per gallon, only because of what my space cadet researching pointed to. then i proceeded to water all of my plants until i felt water at the bottom.

Could this method be improved? Was feeding plants nutrients for first time ever after transplanting inappropriate?

Thank you in advance.
