Re: First grow - Guidance Appreciated
I would recommend watching a few videos on it, I watched a few then felt confident enough to try it myself on 2 plants. 1 plant left me 4 tops the other plant ended up with 2 tops.

No it is not a sign of sex, by the sound of your description those are the new shoots developing which will become branches.

I find Topping to be a more reliable method to produce multiple tops then the FIM technique.
Here are some videos on Topping

Re: First grow - Guidance Appreciated
OK, so i just wanna do an update on the plant. So i have noticed the fan leaves getting a lot bigger. I've also noticed small leaves growing in the nodes. Lab has described them as shoots to me. Haven's seen much new growth since i femmed her. I only femmed her a few days ago. been having to water more since heat and humidity have plagued my area.
Kingjohn, I had the curling leaves again. For some reason they just curl up a little. like the edges dont curl but the leaf dose. It's nuts i dont get it, they seem to only be doing this after a long hot day. wondering if its heat stress, when i come out in the morning to check on them there back to normal. next time it happens ill get a pic for you.
Also i have another plant in a smaller pot. She is going to be smaller in size just cause the pot size she is in. She's super green and compact nodes. meaning not much space in between branches on this one. I also femmed her a few days ago. When i look at her growing it reminds me of tide stick, just growing straight up the stalk. ill get a pic of her. Can you guys let me know if this is normal for that size plant. Pot size is about two and half gallons

Fimming a plant causes a certain amount of stress and stunts growth, which can last up to a week but seldom longer then that.

Like the vets say, one finger inside the soil an inch down, if dry- Water

Re: First grow - Guidance Appreciated
Place your finger 1"-2" into the soil and feel how moist the soil is. Did you get any water runoff when you watered your plant the day before?

Re: First grow - Guidance Appreciated
Yea I got really good drainage. As soon as I water and soaks in. It then begins to drian out the sides then the bottom. I've got 6 holes in the bottom and 6 around the sides of the pot. Plus I believe it allows more air to the soil all the way around.

Re: First grow - Guidance Appreciated
So I have a question about droopy leaves. Haven't watered in a few days because of rain. Plant soil still feels moist. I did put a layer if worm casting over the top of the soil. I haven't fertilized since last Wednesday. I wanted to fertilize tomorrow just don't want to over water. Weve had rain the last few nights, and overcast Sky's also.Which sucks cause I just fimmed them. I do need to fertilize tomorrow regardless. I'm also gonna go full strength ferts tomorrow, first time I think she can handle it. . My main concern is why do leafs droop overnight. I've googled many time just keep getting mixed reviews on it. Any suggestions. Thanks.

Re: First grow - Guidance Appreciated
Hmmz...could be many factors from over watering or under watering to heat stress. What i like to do is determine whether the variables are optimal, and change one for positive/negative Changes to slowly eliminate factors. Make sure you have great ventilation to the roots, they'll rebound as they're Herculean Plants that withstand a lot!
My lil 2 cents lol
Happy Growing Brudda!
