Well, shes not getting taller but she is getting wider. Maybe shes just retarded?n I guess that's a good sign since it shows that shes growing. Wonder if I should top her or leave her alone when the time comes?

Yeah she's just weird but a lot of people do say that growing autos, this is what comes with the territory. Some grow how they want and at their own rate. I guess this is one of them. Maybe I can get 7 grams from her. Lol.

If retardo grows tall enough, I'll top her but then she'll probably grow into the ground. Lol

Topping trains it lower than fimming, yes?

I love how one of your first lines is "These leds put off no heat, so happy"
I need to make the change. This hps is dangerous, even on 75%.
I've been reading that calmag deficiencies become a relative problem with leds.
How often/much do you find yourself needing to give them?
Also, when you top them, is there a certain number of leafsets you wait for?
and which node do you generally cut it above?

Hi Xenon,
I am glad I switched to LED, but I went from CFL to LED. When I top, I usually wait until I have 3 full sets of fans...I don't count the single finger that comes in after the cotyledons...and then I nip out the new growth. If you check out Yeatsters Journal on page 15 there is a very good view.

Awesome, so 4 sets including the single fingers AFTER the cotyledons, to verify, yes?
Thank you!!
Yes, 4 sets if you count the single fingers. You may get other opinions, but this has worked well for me.

Xene yes 3rd or 4th node is perfect.and hps plants love how i started but led are alot cooler so make sure u keep the temps up during flower as cooler temps slows bud growth i learned this on my first run with leds.but i see the same growth rate as led.and since my last run i added the 3rd light and kept temps up during flower.but over all growth is proving great so all is good

Thanks mate; I definitely don't think I'll have problems keeping the temps up, especially in a couple of weeks, bahahah.
Feel free to stop by my first journal, beast; I'll be topping my auto ak in a couple of days and I love all of the help and positivity you bring to an environment!
