Also my baby got her first 1/2 dose of nuits yesterday for my birthday and wow. What a difference that makes. Thanks for all your help and knowledge!

The tape measure was to show how much the topped plant leaves had swollen overnight after topping it. Up to that point all three plants had very similar leaf structures(all seeds came from the same popcorn sized bud). However after topping plant2, it's leaves seemed to "swell" to a wider, thicker leaf. I thought it was odd. So I showed pics of two plants with the tape measure to show the difference. (That one hermi'd BTW).

I would agree with brainy. However ALL my bud sites are exposed to light. Thus I havn't removed anything that didn't die and fall off. I do go through and push larger leaves under the bud sites (when I find that they don't get light, DUE to those leaves), However I haven't cut any off.

Oh and some good advice,... The branch side of a tie back string needs to be loose. The stems will grow and eventually get strangled by to tight a string. So, watch that. :thumbsup:
