For me I grow indoor photos and i am having a go with some outdoor also although I would grow autos outdoor depending on the strains, some autos have a reputable 2 pound plus yield.

What youāre missing is that when you top them, they stop growing upwards for 7+ days. So, if you top, there goes a whole week of vertical growth on a plant that is a 3rd of the way through its life cycle. You said youāre noticing it recovering? Let it recover & grow without farther stress. Autos do not like stress, and youāre pushing the limits, for sure.

Well, these were in a greenhouse, but right when they came up the weather went badā¦, and not nearly enough sun, so i brought them inside, and put them under lightsā¦ I can still put them in the greenhouse on nice sunny days, and then put them under the lights again when the sun goes down or is too weakā¦, I supposeā¦ I think @PurpNGold74 does thatā¦ When the sun has no clouds over it ,it is nice hot sun in the greenhouse, but when all clouded overā¦ like usual lately, no good!!!
Yes, listen to @blackthumbbetty, youāre stressing them out too much.

Okā¦ I will not top them thenā¦ I thought it sounded strange, for that person to suggest that at that point, but i have been thinkin about it ever since he said itā¦!!! lol Before he said that, I never thought of that at all!!! I just thought, ok, put them in the 3 or 4 gallon pots, and put them under a lot of light, and see what happensā¦ So, I will not top them then and see what happensā¦ And get some more seeds, and try again asapā¦ Thanks for the advice everyone!!!

Well, maybe i should not get the 4 sq. foot bag thenā¦, lot of moisture in the air around here in winter timeā¦ lol Maybe I could leave it in itās bag, then put it in a garbage bag, and twist tie the garbage bagā¦ lol Let me see how much I would save on the big bagā¦ lol Thanks @PurpNGold74
4 cu. ft. actuallyā¦ lol
I would advise topping them early you may loose height but you gain more colas. Its better to have many colas instead of just one itāll go from 20cm to 70cm during flower stretch so I wouldnāt worry about it. Different strokes for different folks I suppose.

Even if they are so stunted at this point @Weedwizard??? Thanks!!! I forgot, i was going to measure them again, and let u guys know the height nowā¦
Still only about 4 inches tall really, Maybe a little moreā¦, the two bigger onesā¦ The smaller oneā¦ didānt measure, at least half inch shorter,ā¦
I definitely wouldnāt top them, it will only slow them down and youāll get no colas.

Hey, does anyone know what ph Happy Frog Potting Soil is? Could not find out onlineā¦! I was thinking of using that, or Happy Frog mixed with this other potting soil i have for seedlings next time? Anybody ever use Happy Frog for seedlings??? Work out good??? Some people say the FFOF is too hot for seedlingsā¦? Maybe @PurpNGold74 or @raustin or @blackthumbbetty or @Weedwizard might know? thanks!!!
Strange that F.F. says clearly what ph FFOF isā¦, and I can not find out what ph Happy Frog is or Light Warrior eitherā¦? When I tried to find it online awhile ago that isā¦ Did i get all the names right this timeā¦??? lol
And most perlite sellers say it is nuetralā¦, and one company says it is nuetral at about 7.0 - 7.3 or so phā¦ So, perlite must have a ph then??? One company must be testing theirs, and says what they come up withā¦, and for some reason different sizes of their perlite, have a little bit different phāsā¦
Iāve had nothing but pain with hot soils, myself. Autos, especially, tend to like light nutes.

Ohā¦ Happy Frog seems too hot too sometimes??? I can use this stuff I have, that does not seem too hotā¦ It does have various things in it, but not as much as FFOF, I assumeā¦ I am not sure, but do not think that is what stunted my crop this timeā¦
U like Light Warrior, or maybe Pro Mix for seedlingsā¦???
Happy Frog is much lighter in nutes than Ocean Floor.
