Hey Horribleherk I am so pleased that my advice worked out for you. I got my gloves back on (thank you my friend), but also a bong awaiting your harvest!!!

Quick question here. Posting it here due mostly to the respect I have for GG and others who have posted in this thread.
I burned the tops of my latest crop of SLH, which is about 45 days in bloom now. A slow burn that left the leaves on the top about half dead before i even noticed the damage. Just inexperience and trying to get the light down as close as possible. So now these burnt leaves don't allow any light whatsoever to penetrate and they are pretty much dried out, shriveled up and useless. It's just the top node and leaves on each plant, so I was thinking I might be best to chop them down at that point and allow the light to get through to the bulk of the plants. These don't have a big top bud anyway, the lower sites are just as big as the tops, so it would just be one of the many bud sites being chopped.
I guess I answered my own question and it seems best to just take that top off and consider it a lesson in the books. But I do have another question. does burning the tops have a negative effect to the entire plant or just the buds that ended up getting fried?

Naww outdoors easy, you grow like a pro bro! I am fighting spider mites off too right now. Except I'm 3 weeks from harvest and using ladybugs to wage war on the evil mites.

I would not think it would have any ill effect on no other bud but the burnt one. One thing to remember is that the SLH plant will fatten up the last 2 weeks OH also she will drop many many leafs so do not take any off.

I was actually raising the lights, as you suggested. and i only took off the very top that was burnt pretty badly. otherwise i never pick off any leaves.
Didn't notice much fattening up last time during the last couple weeks, so i dont expect much this time either. maybe we just have diff phenos, but mine fatten up quite early, 5 weeks in or so, and dont really put on much weight after that. but i only grew it once, so maybe this time will be different. i will see soon enuff! they actually look done early (7 weeks in bloom as of tomorrow), hairs are all brown and curled in, full of resin, they just look done, but going to wait it out another week or two and let them turn nice and purple.
All SLH in a SOG under a single 1k light btw

I would really keep a close eye on the trichs. If all where cloudy and I saw one amber, I would pull it. There are so many different pheno's, I did not realize it until everyone started posting up. Thank you everyone!!

hey gg-13 i have a question do you count flower time from when you see first sign of actual bud starting or from when you cut light 12/12 they say this is a 9-10 week strain i like to start counting at the first sign of something i can call a bud start im gonna buy a magnifying scope to look at trichromes my friend has one [30 x] & the quality of his product has been better because he has a much better idea when its ready i really want this to be at its best when i harvest its looking better every day these pics are at week #4 of budding

I always start the counting when I see the first sign of flowering. If you start counting at that point then you will have a more accurate date set.
Did you SC or just squeeze those stems in the first pic and what do you think of the results?

i made an attempt to supercrop the taller buds to keep my canopy even it works pretty good but if you do it when the stem is too young theyll snap off if the stem is too old they try to stand back up but when its done right you get mini colas that dry into fat little nugs just dont supercrop after about the 4th beer

LOL.... Yeah I tried the supper cropping of my slh a few grows back and no luck on keeping her low. I tried a few other strains as well (sc) I don't care for it. I prefer the FIM, also a 4 top method.

I don't know why? If it says 8 weeks flowering time, well the first 2 weeks there are no flowers lol. And most the time the plant will go 9-10 weeks of 12/12. Take a way the time it took to start and flower, well your back to 8 weeks.

this thread always keeps me interested. good reading. i usually end up keeping my strains goin till about 10 weeks for the full maturation of the trichs and buds, unless the plant tells me otherwise.
and for a sweet smooth taste in smoke, tons of carbs at the end, like molasses. then i flush with clearex and flush with water.

I am growing organic now, and I feed 0-0-22 up to 9 days before harvest then I use molasses or Carb load (organic). Don't flush anymore, what a relief it is. Soon I will have 2 SLH harvested, not purple but the smell of lemons is strong. WOOT
