Self topped

[Jungle Joseph]

I had a seedling last summer that self topped early, nowhere to grow, the top closed up with only single blades. It had to force growth through the cotyledons.

Wow, how did it turn out?

It came out good. The seedling is the first thing mentioned in the Lower Alps Outdoor journal from last summer. There are pics.

Wow @stinker! What a view on that journal!!! Looks like she turned out great! The vegging is coming along nicely JJoe….

Still don't know if it's a female yet. Training is going well, I'm hoping to run the stem around the edge of the pot so the buds grow straight up.
I've noticed the growth on the right side is stronger than the left.
Seems healthy enough.

Pumping.

 

[stinker]

She looks very healthy.

More pics. Notice the stem twisted. I didn't do that. As soon as I know it's a female, I'm going to call her Twisted Sister. I hope the name's not taken lol.

It's a fitting name, I guess. Contortious.

It’s amazing what these girls will do to reach the good stuff! Fingers crossed that she’s a she!

Getting a little crowded but looking good. Seeing a few potential bud sites now.

 

[sneekymofo]

A few?!? Yup, there’s a few lol. Looking good, Joe!

Planning to flip in the next week or two, should see some real progress then. Exiting.

Flipped to 12/12 today.

Unfortunately, 10 days after flip, it's a male.
Bummer.
He's worm food now.

That sux Joe! Sorry to here that - and he was looking good too. Good job giving him the burial he deserved - hopefully you said some kind words and sent him on his way. Upside is you now know how to handle a tricky girl if she shows up self-topped!

Yeah, kinda sad, but it was a blessing in disguise, I needed the room.
