Thanks keith crazy how much greener it got was on the verge of being yellow before transplanting it. Deff needed some nutrients badly. Starting to get towards more of the west coast diesel shade of green
Looking great and well watered! Looks like you might have a FIM on that pinched one, and with the cages it makes it easy to try other training methods as well like LST:
bending the top over (without breaking it!) and slowly getting it lower than the next node down,
or supercropping:
How I perform low stress training on my plants: Lots of pics!
Greetings all! I've had members ask about how I do my LST (low stress training) on my plants so I thought I would do a pictorial on it. My pics are of two different plants but don't let that confuse you. It's just easier to demonstrate that way. Let's discuss the theory behind LST for a...

Hows & Whys Of Supercropping
Anyone interested in a bit on supercropping? Here is my introduction to the technique. I don't deal so much on the actual way to perform a supercrop, but the reasons and places to do it: DISCLAIMER: This is high stress plant training and I do not recommend it for an autoflower plant. Not that...

hey shed appericate the kind words. What would the main difference between topping and topping to create a FIM if you dont mind me asking?
Regular topping leaves the top node (two branches) and that's it. FIMming confuses the plant into creating more than two top branches where it will grow 3 or 4 from that cut.
After a FIM the first leaves above that node may look a bit mangled so don't be surprised and think that something is eating them.

Oh ok i thought i did leave the top 2 nodes i will have to go back and re watch the video explaining topping
Thanks for the clarification shed
Best thing to do now is just wait to see what happens!

yup thats the plan.
If i wanted to to do a normal topping would i have to top it farther down?
You would wait until there's enough growth above the node to leave a stump behind, though not necessarily this big:

Oh ok so thats more when you prune the top off at the stock. That was the method that my peanutbutter haze.You would wait until there's enough growth above the node to leave a stump behind, though not necessarily this big:
Prune the top off would be topping!

They look good they look real good.Morning pics
Looking good, but you might want to take some of the fans off the lower middle of the clone and spread the tops out to give the inner growth a chance to see the sun! Another couple of bamboo poles and pipe cleaners and tie the tops wide.

Excellent I can't wait for our summer our season don't start till oct.
They look like healthy little beans I'd definitely be taking @InTheShed advice and spread that canopy open will be a much better yield.
Excellent job looks great

Good afternoon everyone sorry for the absence been busy this week. After all that rain this past week after my previous watering it looks like the plants took it very well and didnt need to water them until yesterday which was 6 days since the previous watering.
Ended up giving the two west coast diesels that didnt have FFOF their first feeding of the year and the other one will be getting its first feeding next feeding, aswell as the peanutbutter haze.
Was great to see with all that rain the plants didnt get over watered and atchully dried out in a reasonable time. Supposed to get a good amount of rain in the next few days so prob will be another 5 days before thier next watering.
