And overwatering will not do that much damage that fast either, and the damage will not look like that.


There's a lot of misinformation here. Topping probably would have been a good idea in this case. Sure, it will affect yield, but sometimes yield isn't your main concern. And for all the people telling him to tie down his plant and put chicken wire around it or whatever, the last thing he would have wanted to do is attract more attention to his plant. (What?!?)

From my experience, pretty much anything that isn't a pure indica won't smell that strongly, and even then, there are so many plant smells outside in the summer, one more isn't something you'd notice unless you're an experienced grower or a drug dog. And there's no sense in cutting down a plant without knowing if smell will be a problem.

Still, growing in your backyard isn't that safe, but it's not too late to start again! Indoors, that is. :smokin:
No, no, wrong, no... You have more misinformation that this whole thread man...
