Bang on track good job

Some people say topping is making more fluffy buds and not very dense and some say it does not get lower quality.

So, should i top My plants or leave them as they are ?

Topping a plant does not a effect its bud development .fluffy buds is down to poor lighting or lights to far away mainly hps.my buds are always dense.topping a plant makes it shifts its energy a different way around the plant for more dominant colas.if u like big fat colas mate then top them.if u wna see the diffrence .top 1 and leave 1 alone.come harvest i bet u prefer to topped auto.but all autos react diffrently to been been topped.so if u get a small plant after topping .dont let that put u off topping a diffrent autos.stronger genetics are best if u want a big strong auto hope this helps.best of luck

Well who doesnt like big fat buds

I was thinking of only topping 1 or 2 but that way the plants not gonna get the same amount of light.

I will top all 4, but when is the time to top?

Best time to top an auto is between day 14 and 20 of life at the 4th node

And at what day for normal feminized seeds, about the same around 2-3 weeks?

Hi
You have an auto expert helping you (thebeast27) so you are in good hands.
Mars Hydro has good lighting so your ladies are well taken care of too
I am joining the ride

So i pH-tested My tapp water today, 8.2.

I dont have any Hydro store nearby but i do have an pet-shop here. I bought pH - for aquarium / fishes, it should work right?
It aint harmfull for the fish, so why would it hurt My plants?

Can i use this pH- or there is something special that only works for plants?

Ph up or down is universal. All it does is change the ph of a liquid. It will work just fine without any consequences.

So when i was in the tent earlier i figured that is the fans on the floor was 2 inches higher they would give the plants a much better wind effect from the same height as the pots are.

For now i used for each fan to stand on:

1x pack of plastic foil

And some styrofoam.

So My question is can this things catch fire from the heat from the light? I know the temps at highest is 29c so it dont catch fire from the temp, i was just thinking about the light rays.

I am going to bed now so thats why i asking, i want to sleep without be worried

Them pistils are the plants showing u there female mate

 

[BedroomFarmer]

The plant is preflowering. Congrats! It's a girl

 

[Bluecheeze]

With all the new growth between the nodes My plant are starting to look like small bushes, they are 10cm high and 20cm wide.

Will they start to grow in height soon or is this the results from the topping, really short bushes?

And when do i want to start flower? From the start i wanted to finish with 1m plants but i guess now when they are topped i can forget that.

So what to aim for now:

1. start flower in a couple of days and the plants get only about 20cm high but i guess i wont get much yield then?

2. Wait 2 more weeks and then flower, but then i dont how wide they will get untill then and maybe the pots aint big enough?

I rather dont re-pot again and instead in My second grow use bigger pots. I will notice some small things i can do better the next grow.

Pictures comes in about 3 hours when the lights is on.
