I will be updating weekly, I might start giving it nutes this weekend. They seem to have a good balance for strong roots, veg, and flower.

Yeah they look good and arent too expensive. Ive been having the guy email me cause i entered that drawing with them for the free spyderfang lights

I figured it would be worth a try. I just ordered a 2nd vs1000 light, I don’t want lack of light to be an issue.

You’ll have plenty of light for a single plant.
Is it an auto ?

2 days after topping, she seems stressed.
Will she be okay? @InkedOldMan

Well it’s hard to say for sure… They’re pretty resilient plants in general.
However, I will share a couple of my thoughts on it:

  • That’s a large container, so the root mass sometimes takes a while to situate, which can slow visual growth.
  • With that being only 16 days when topped may have stressed it. Typically rule of thumb is after the 5 node.
  • Lighting. It’s possible that light intensity is too much for a young plant. If they are dimmable, dial it back some…if not, consider using only one until the plant gets further along.

With that being said, those are just my thoughts. Also, I grow autos, so they cycle completely different from photos.

Hope things work out for ya :v:

I am afraid of transplanting, so that’s why I started in a larger pot. Next grow I will start smaller and d figure it out. I read an article about early topping, it was saying that however stressful topping early is, it makes for a stronger plant in the long run. Idk, it’s all experimental to me.

My light measured at about 550 ppfd, I have them at 75%. I could down to 50%
