Hey, I'm about to top my indoor 2nd gen. lemon skunk... I've never actually topped a plant before what do I need to know?

sorry to hear that, what happened that you damaged it? anyway today the weather is splendid. hps is taking a well deserved rest. the sun is magnificent so are the plants. 10th day of blooming
I veg under a sunleaves pioneer IV light which is T5 and think the sun was just too much for the little guy....

Looking good meathook.
My W/W are about one month old now and doing ok. Not sure wether to top them or leave them. This is my third grow in this closet and all have been females. My first grow was w/w fem seeds that produced some hermie plants and the next three grows were from those seeds. The plants are 10" tall at the mo and i am going to veg till they reach about 15" then 12/12 them. I just hope they all turn out to be fems again. I am very pleased with the growth up to now, the space between leaf nodes is about 1" so everything is looking tight. I grew 7 plants in this closet last time and had almost 8.5 dry oz of very sticky green.
will be watching your progress with interest.

oh, and as for topping. i would leave em as they are. but my experience is greatly limited. i just got 2 plants but one cola plant is much more enjoyable. maybe top one or two just to see how it goes

My last grow was not as bushy. This time round i have used a slow release fert in the john innies soil mix i use and it seems to have worked a treat.
Have desided to leave them be and 12/12 them in a few more days and feed with vitalink grow then buddie. I just hope they all come to be fems.
I did read that if the seeds are from a feminised plant gone herm that the seeds are then fems. Not sure if this is true but my last 3 grows from those seeds have all been females so fingers crossed.

thats what i read too, but im somewhat suspicious about those fem seeds. im just scared that all of them would turn out hermie eventually. maybe im just superstitious:confused:

I have had three w/w grows that went hermie but did not get 100,s of seeds, just a few and the weed was just as strong and gave me a good amount of seeds as well. I spent an hour or so pulling the pollen pods off before they popped.
