Topping, pruning tips please

I actually have a thread regarding this problem. It began last Wednesday when I fed them nutes for the first time. Initially it was only visible on plant 2, but now I can see issues with 3/5 plants.

First nutes feed was too acidic, I adjusted ph to 6 before adding nutes. I’ve since discovered that the nutes bring the ph of my tap water down to the perfect level without using anything else to bring it down.

I'm not a pro grower, but since I ran into nutrient deficiencies lately, I checked a lot (and by that, I mean a TON) of pictures of plant problems. To me that looks like a ph problem. Fluctuating ph often causes this kind of damage.

Check this link, then compare the pictures to the leaves of your plants. There can be other issues also, but I think incorrect ph level is one, for sure.

Not to sound rude but I would do the research. Seems you are way off base with what your doing and what you want for a result. Trying things is fine but know what your trying before trying it.
Ps. You overfed those girls. First feedings should always be lite lite lite. You now need to flush them out with good ph water. YouTube has some very good people who have made thousands of videos regarding growing cannabis. Mr canucks grow is first to come to mind. Check out his videos with the specific title your interested it. (Like water ph). YouTube can teach you everything you need to know

Thanks for the link, I’m sure that’s exactly what’s happened. I have made the necessary changes so I’ll wait to see what difference that has made.

No offence taken. I am just an impulsive person and tend to do things my own way, it’s part of my learning process. Honestly, I can read something very specific and will decide to do things my own way anyway. I don’t think I’ve done too much damage to my plants, but I’ve certainly learned from the experience

Things we learn at the 'School of Hard Knocks' tend to stick longer.

Plus, there’s no innovation without experimentation lol.

Wow! Are you tying the branches down to encourage growth?

 

[ZebSoames]

Besides the super crop, I just want to spread out the bud sites some for light

She's looking good.

Thanks, she’s moving outdoors in a couple of weeks. Transplanting into a 30 gallon pot for the remainder of the grow.

I’m going to have to do some research into that!

I regularly tie the lower branches out to spread out the canopy at flip to flower.

I thought super-crop was this:

Some people like to call it “outside the box thinking”.

Yes, the plants need to be bigger for a lb of harvest. Your plants will double or triple in size after the flip.
