drOOpy leaves for nOOb

Yes those are the signs of the start of flowering but about the topping method topping is for the veg growth wouldnt do no good in the flowering stage and could put stress on your plant. In your next grow that is when you should test out topping and other methods O and dont forget to start your flowering nutrients on NPK you need more P (phosphorus) and little N (nitrogen) and K (potasium) i would keep that the same.Also 2 weeks before you chop it down give it no more nutrients and start flushing wich is the prossec of watering your plants more and draining the exess. this will clean the plant of any toxin and give you a more cleaner and tasteier smoke. PS flushing will make the leafs start to turn yellow and fall off dont worrie this is natural. just let them fall off dont clip them....Hope this helps with the flowering stage Good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Topping is done to reduce the height and won't hurt in flower. The plant will continue to grow in flower and if you're running out of upward space, then you can cut the top. If those little stems start to grow what look like balls on them, those are sacks of pollen, which mean it's a male and won't produce THC resin. If that is your only plant and it's male, you won't get anything useful from it; unless maybe you can use the leaves but that won't be much for you. Females produce the white hairs that turn red or brown. That's the sex of this plant you want.

I appreciate all the advice for sure. I'm two days into flower. No balls no hairs yet. But I'm anxious as f*<k! Even tho the branches seem kind of long there's new growth at every node on the way up. So I hope this is a girl. And not stereotyping, but I hope she thick n juicy . I will deff get some better fert soon for flowering. I'm going to do a dose of the CaMg for one water just until. If you think I shouldn't let me know. Leaves still drooping. Still haven't watered. But next nodes fan leaves are starting to brown. Slight concern. Nitrogen, I know. But I think when I get good fert that will solve that problem. So anyways I'm getting lost in convo but my main reason is to strictly identify where I top the plant. Pic below...The red line points to the new growth with a 3cm stem below. And the blue line is obviously the firmer main stem. No offense growhand, but I'm very secure with the choice to top during flower. I think.... so if I do. I'd just like to know the exact location to do this. Like I said before, this one plant is my baby. From a good strain. So I have it personally. The other plants are still precious for me. But harder to get pics of as they are not here. All davice i use for those when needed. But once again thanks. Feel like you guys are raising this one with me. A.ã.ä.�imp:

Attachment 289403 this should answer your question but i still think its doesnt have enough time to reform the heads and this also wiill cause your plant to put more energy towards nitrogen intake to recover the heads when it needs to consentrate on phophorus intake for flower production

Thanks for all the advice guys. Its much appreciated. And for the sake of my worry, I've decided against topping. Seems too damaging and I can't bring myself to risk it... on to what matters.I don't think this plant is low on nitrogen. Its always a thought but every day I read I find other possibilities. My leaves are still brown edging/tipping. Not watering didn't have much effect. After four or five days I watered yesterday. Although with extra lumens a slight raise has occoured. From the bottom fan leafs to about the third node up are darker brown and krispy on the edges. And its SLOWLY Working its way up. (Attached pics). They will die I'm sure. The further nodes up are just droopy and slight brown tip. Have been for a while. Light added tho... But I'm concerned. I don't want this to work all the way up. I've read that smoking CIG/weed around the plant is bad for it. Clogs the plants breathing. But I've heard its ok with good circulation. So I think this could b a problem. The plant could have some disease I forgot the name of from the cigs. Or it could b the nitrogen. Or it could be root rot? But from the third or fourth node up the growth is so vibrant and flourishing. Confused? Even the branches that droop above the third node are nice looking. Maybe just dropping leaves to promote higher growth? I've read so much I can't find a positive answer. So I'm corantining the plant. No smoke no nutes by it open window when smoking. Let's see huh? I just find it odd that the new leaves up top are sticking straight up and the lower ones droop. (Pics). I a lose wanted to ask before I forget, based upon the pics, what do you guys think my yield can be? I have strong lighting. Just need the Shultz nutes or something else for this stage. Can u point out definite bud sights? Remember, this is an indoor closet grow. But I can let it get 6' no prob. Will pruning help? Ohhh and see the pic of the big leaf? Rhetorical... I take it that the redding stem is a good sign? And I would say without a new measurement the plant is about 2'10"....Anyways, I'm sorry for all the f*<kin questions... but as always A.ã.ä.�imp:

So this is what I picked up. Fox farm tiger bloom. Seems to have everything you guys are advising me to get. So. I'm going to do a quick flush of the old nutes. 1 week. Then start this. But I need to flush with a pH tester. I just bought one as well. So ill test the run off. My tap pH level is high at 7.0. So I need to lower the pH before I flush. How do I lower the pH of my water? How long shud I flush? I'm going to water every two days then start the tiger bloom. The added light has been helping. I'll keep y'all informed. Thanksimp:

You don't need to pH your water. If you water is a problem, you can use distilled bought from a store. It's probably better to use anyway.

[knehiblazr]

Well I'm going to test the runoff after my next water. Jus to be sure. I emptied the closet of everything. Whiped the walls down so any cigarette tar is gone. I hope this tiger bloom levels out my nutes and perks these leaves up. It said the nutes lowers pH and after a trial of test my pH is about 7.5-8.0. I'll keep thee informed! A.ã.ä.�.imp:

i think now its chemical burns and if your stems are turning red that is a magniesm deficiency you can fix it with epsom salt (fix the chemical burn before adding) as for yield it cant be determined because we dont know what strain it is but i guess mybe a half ounce? o and about the drooping leaves i think its just the temperature and how much light the lower leaves are recieving and if your useing tap water insead of buying destiled water make it by leaving your water sitting outside for 24 or more hours.(this evaporates all of the bleach that is but in tap water)
