Hey guys Iv had my fan blowing since seedling and have a very thick stem. night b4 last i tranny her into a big deep pan this morning I decided after taking this pix I would take a piece of yarn and grab inbetween a branch pull her about halfway down like a r from it being day 12 only is this 2 early am i risking a male now? it wasnt super stressfull on plant far as i can gauge by how lightly i bent her n looking after. ill try post more pix later if needed to show how she (hope) is nowIMG_20131129_124954.JPGIMG_20131129_123241.jpgIMG_20131129_125104.JPGIMG_20131129_094805.JPG

Well man, you should probably try to do some topping now. Unless you dont want her to just grow upwards with less bud. Believe me, you cant go that wrong when topping a plant, you either top it or you FIM it. I doubt you are going to rip the whole plant apart by topping. So I suggest you to give it a try. Worst case scenario you make a mistake. There hasnt been a grower here that hasnt made mistakes and ends up having to start again. That is what will really shape you as a grower. Cheers!

Well, if you did it right then you wont have one set of those leaves…. you will have two! Now just let her keep veggin. Are you sure you dont want to look into doing a 4 way LST? It would give you a lot more yield and she will grow to the sides instead of like a pine. It is always up to the grower tho. Are you reading temperature? PH? whats the total of lights you have? have you thought about nutrients?

Yes i have both pair of leafs they are still intact together even, keepin em bc dunno nestaliga ?... lol yes i DO want a 4 way and im very appreciative of your link ty I just didnt want to 4way lst due to needing to topp bc i was a puss Im not reading temp yet due to literaly 0 dollars invested in this situation. in 3 days ill have cash for a therm and a humidity gauge n ph test kit. Unfortunitly i used MG potting soil due to not knowing better got soil had seed planted then researched :x but iv fed her only tap and rain water so far so ph should be acceptable and seemings shes flourishing (i think hows pix look??) Lights im useing 4 23 watt (7600k specturm) CFL keeping them very close to her and a fan non stop running while lights are on inside house temp stays around 72 - 75 im in the deseret so all those mixed im hopeing im off to a decent start for 0 invested n just what was around

I feel ya when you say 0$. You should take a look at the DIY sub forum under the General Marijuana Forum. Also, the webpage I gave you is great for no only the LST but for almost everything else. You read that webpage and you should have enough to grow decently. Cheers!

this knowladge is precious 2 me n so appreciated yea i got a lil set up lol made a 2x4 3 foot cuts box frame then one going up on each side lined with cardboard n ouch tinfoil... gonna be takin that shit down tonightn glueing up white copy paper. i threw a top over it and only have one side exposed with a fan blowing on her to keep heat from hurting her give her new fresh air and try maintain a lil hotter of a area than the 72 - 75 air
 
OK, try to replace the tinfoil for white paint (tinfoil has folds that may create pockets and those pockets let heat inside so no good for boxes as that shit might get like a sauna haha. Cheers! :eyesmoke:

the sauna part is exactly what i was trying to create for a little higher temp n to battle all that one side of the box is open with a fan blowing on the plant n yea tinfoil is for meth addicts n the grill not growing, dont got ne paint so ill glue up white copy paper as a cheap easy fix soon itll be maylar this is all just super test experiment can i even grow a healthy plant or will it die right away. my main goal now is auto fem seed in maylar custom built veg box for 2 go from there ;))

i can say honestly its no more than a few degrees higher than room temp MAX compared to inside box with the way iv set it up without fan shed prolly be in horrid shape n hurting or dead

Ok, just always to keep in mind, high temps and too much humidity = no good bongsmilie
