My first experience with "topping" seemed like a NIGHTMARE. These 2-month-old organic pink kush seedlings are precious to me, but I finally managed to get the dirty deed done.
They're recovering (best they can without their tops) in the vegging area now. Please send dabs in lieu of flowers!
(DTube videos stop playing after a few weeks. All that's left now is the thumbnail - sorry.)

yea I always hate topping! Just cutting off the the top is painful, but necessary most of the time :)
I have done a small indoor grow in the past where I didn't top, I just bent and trained the top to grow under my homemade trellis (scrog) and I've gotta admit it turned out insane, the top was mental. But still, I would top now just to get more energy to the other buds!
Looking forward to more posts on this pink kush its going to be lovely :)
Peace!

Thanks! Have you grown pink kush before? I'm enjoying the strain, nice and compact, pleasant-smelling so far.
I'm happy (now) that I topped them. The rest of the foliage seems to have plumped up since then (as though the growing energy is going into them instead of the top). Soon I hope to see some new stems growing.

No I haven’t grow a kush before! It will be an incredible end product that’s for sure :) I will have to grow kush soon! I used to be all about sativas, I started with some indoor stuff on smaller scale and it took me a few attempts to learn what to do and not do. Recently have been involved in big outdoor organic which was amazing :) I’ll post some more pics later today!
Wow that sounds great, glad to hear it’s plumping up nice :) I’ll keep checking back, I love seeing progress with grows! Peace!

I never top. Just squeeze and bend. Sometimes I will use a clothes pin for a week or so to keep the top bent until the branches catch up. Bending seems to have the same end result as topping in my experience.
I usually use lower branches for cloning.

Not this time, because it was my first time properly topping my plants. I try and only do 1 brand new thing at a time, generally. I'm definitely excited to try some clones, perhaps in a few weeks when there's lots of new growth. : )

I cant watch vids which is shit because i run on mobile data and it costs alot to watch vids haha oh plus the internets so fucking slow haha. Put some pics in with your posts also ☺ i like topping plants because i like bushes, small and productive. Great that @greenunion is on here! Introducing farmers. If you can grow weed you can grow your own food aswell! Following to see them beautys :)

Sucks you can't watch vids but I understand. I do try and do a mix of videos, photos, and text posts.
What kind of bushes are your favourites? I'm excited to see how these 5 young ladies turn out.

Nice, that sounds like an adventure! Will you be vlogging your progress?
Don't ask me to pity you that you live in Norway. To me it's a beautiful country (some similarities to parts of Canada), with an enviable society and high standard of living. I also believe there is relative freedom there, compared to many parts of the world, even many parts of the "civilized" and "first" world.
Am I wrong? If so then maybe I can pity you for your growing challenges : P

Just the weather will be the challange, last year my seedlings got killed when i was living in the forest, it was -3c one night in MAY!!
Im oldschool so wont be doing any vlogging, but im doing a grow journal with pics. I hate the way we use cameras, especially ones on a device created by goverments connected to the web ;)

Painful, perhaps. But good for the plant ultimately. As long as it's healthy in other ways, it will recover and be better than ever. Upvoted!

We've been having issues with DTube playback for a couple days now. Usually we escape trouble, but not lately. Sometimes clicking "source" helps jar it into motion. Uploads have been okay for us lately.

I tried uploading to Dtube last summer but was never able to do it. The service really seems to be improving though so I think I'll try again rather soon. I'm still not clear on where our uploads are hosted. I know they call it IPFS but who actually runs the storage. I'm also wondering if I can host an IPFS server of my own videos so they don't disappear off Dtube. I'd like to find these things out before my vacation ends and I have to go back to work.

Hey bud, nice to see you.
You're right that DTube is far more reliable now than ever before. That said, I still think it needs to go from "usually working" to "almost always working", for it to really compete with the big mainstream media sites. I want that, really badly! So it's frustrating to see the site continue to be decent-but-not-amazing.
Good question about where data is hosted. I've wondered but never investigated. I keep a safe offline copy of everything I upload, of course, but I'd still like to know where the online 1s and 0s are.
