OK so lets do a fast forward using a few pictures to get us to where I am today. I know, overpotted and watering could be a tricky proposition. Whats done is done, and she's doing quite well though...for now. In the next day or two I will be watering the whole pot until run off for the first time, unless someone suggests otherwise.

Am subbed for the ride, your girl looks great. Some more info on the strain would be nice since I'm not familiar with it, is she photoperiod fem or autoflowering fem?

 

[MrFortwenty]

She's a photo fem, more info can be found right on the crop king website. I'd post the link, but it may not be allowed.
Here are some stats:

Type: Indoor / Outdoor
Growing: Easy
Flowering Time: 9 to 10 Weeks
Indica/Sativa: Mainly Indica
Effect: High Body Buzz
THC: Very High
THC%: 21.40% Laboratory Report THC Chart
CBD: 0.45% Laboratory Report CBD Chart
CBN: 0.29% Laboratory Report
Country: USA USA
Yield: up to 600gr Indoor/300gr outdoor
Genetics: Afghani X Skunk

I just got home and watered her with just over 5L. Small amount of run off. Due to the size of the pot and the size of the plant, she should be good for some time now. I plan on going really easy with the nutes, never supplying 100% of the recommended amount throughout the growth unless it's obvious she can take it all.

Updates to follow once something interesting happens

Day 16 from seed popping out of the soil

Mini update today. Nothing exciting, just some growth but I thought I'd throw up a couple more pictures for those who care ;-)

I will take it out of the tent sometime this weekend and get some non purple pictures as well

Brought it out of the tent for a quick pic, what do you all think? Short nodes spacing, she might be a bushy one!

Another node or two and I'll top her

07/17/2017

Just over 5L of ph'd water. Next watering will include nutes.

07/18/2017

Little droopy from watering the night before, I probably could have waited a day before watering

 

[MrFortwenty]

Well, came home and had a quick look at her. She has responded really well to the watering the night before. Temps and humidity not fluctuating from the original numbers really. 20-24c and usually around 40-52% humidity.

I decided it was as good as time as any to top

So that's exactly what I did

Finished product! lol

 

[MrFortwenty]

Another quick update today.

It's been two days since the top, I pulled her out of the tent and thought it looked really good. There was growth.

I pulled out a few small stakes and gently held down the branches. Might not hold, we'll see. Oh, and the branches are no longer touching the dirt ;-)

Thoughts? Comments?

 

[GnomeUDidnt]

I'm no expert but I don't think staking those fan leaves will do much. But what do I know.

I also have 1 green crack from cks in my tent. She is in her first week of flower after 8 weeks in veg. Hard to show a picture she's entangled in a scrog with 2 Durban poison (cks) 1 ak47(msnl). I'm subbed and hope you don't mind me tagging along for your science experiment, it's gonna be a fun one.

 

[MrFortwenty]

You're probably right, but I found the two larger fan leaves were pointing themselves a little more vertical. Covering quite a bit of the smaller fan leaves above it.

Oh, and I really should be posting what day I'm at. Today was day 22

 

[MrFortwenty]

Day 25

Just a day 25 photo update. She will be due for watering in a day or two, along with the first real feed of nutes. I'll post a few more pics then.

As you can see the topping and resulted growth is excellent. So far so good, once everything starts to grow out a bit I can start some LST as there isn't really anything to LST right now lol.

Comments? Suggestions?

Day 27
Ended up watering the day of the previous post, 25.

6L water.
10ml grow a
10ml grow b
2ml ausie tonic

Don't ask how this happened, but my topped plant is now back to one main top. F**k me .

I'll be lst'ing to get as much light down as far as I can to help with the others now that I've screwed up. She still looks as healthy as ever. But...damn.

I hope I'm not going to lose a ton of yield because of the one missing tops?

 

[WeedMonkey]

Someone will correct me if I'm wrong and I hope that they do, the inside looks awfully dark. Do you know if you have any kind of root rot? Rest of plant looks decent but maybe spreading through stem right now.

Did you mean to reply to this thread? Not sure I see what you're talking about, unless you mean where I topped it and subsequently lost one of the tops. That's where it healed

I was looking at where the break off occurred. I have had some break offs myself and has always been green or sometimes green w/ white center. I may be misaddressing the issue as it's a bit blurry when I zoom.

 

[MrFortwenty]

It was green, but after a day...or even half a day it "dried" out. Turned this color, just like when I took the clippers to her and topped originally.

Ok. Just keep an eye on her. Your doing a great job! Consider me subbed.

 

[MrFortwenty]

When you've topped a plant and it's been a week or so, what color is the cut area?

So losing one of the top main "tops" isn't going to greatly affect the end result is it? I can still LST her to a decent return? Shes super short and stubby/bushy right now. I'll veg as long as I can with my height restrictions.

I haven't personally done I know people who have done it that I correspond with very regularly and usually turns out a very dark green but have never seen it brown. It might be strain dependent to or on the other hand, I'm completely wrong as your conditions and variables are different from mine and those with whom I associate grow in. I wouldn't do anything but definitely keep an eye for now. When you go to "ask us anything", look out for someone called PennyWise he knows what he's talking about, if anyone can help you, he can. You could also PM him too.

 

[MrFortwenty]

Fair enough, thanks for coming along for the ride!
