This is my current grow she is a cafe racer that sprouted April 26. I topped her after the pic and will be doing a scrog. 5 gal pot with fox farm Ocean forest soil. 2x2x4 tent, 400cfm inline, viparspectra p1000 light. Any input? Can get some better pics today if anyone is interested.

She looks good!


What is the distance between your light and the canopy?

Nothing wrong with topping, it’s a great tool to encourage the break of apical dominance. Although topping it is considered more stressful than other methods and can slow her down more than other methods. Another option is to bend the stalk over and maybe cut a fan leaf or two to get lower branches more light and or break the apical dominance this way.

Yes I've used the lst method in a previous grow just trying new things to see which I prefer. Thanks for the input!! Also I plan on doing some defoliation as well to make sure I have good airflow

IMG_20230603_124002619.jpg this is her today thinking about switching to flower in about a week. No nutes have been added yet just ph the water. When would y'all recommend to start adding nutes? I have fox farm big bloom fox farm grow big and bush doctor let me kelp you. How much and when should I start adding? Again she is in fox farm Ocean Forrest and sprouted April 26th. Thanks for any help!

Looks pretty good; nice and healthy foliage. I would do a light deleaf 3-4 days before flip (up to the 2nd/3rd node) just to get some airflow and light penetration to those lower nodes.

Once you flip, give her about 10/11 days before feeding any flower nutes as she is still transitioning. As for how much, I'm of the opinion to slowly ramp up nutes to see how she responds. You can always add more. It's a pain in the ass to reverse if you go too heavy too soon.
