Ok....This is just an outdoor plant. What should I be doing with it now?
Thoughts?
pretty much what Jason said. I operate by the rule that I wont top it until I get 3 sets of what I call "true branches". usually takes about 3 weeks of veg to get there. the picture above has its first set of true branches coming in. the lowest set of leaves and branches I always cut off, and I always cut it off when I top the plant.I would just let that sucker be until it is a foot tall before doing anything to it.i have killed off so many clones and seedlings trying to make them better.my philosophy now is to wait till it is good and established before pinching tops or pulling off bottom branches
after topping (weeks 3 or 4 no later or earlier imo). just let that bitch grow for another 10 days, then switch to 12/12. in those 10 days its going to stretch out like a motherfucker.
these are just techniques that work well for me. nothing scientific except the 3 sets of leaves/branches rule. that shit is gospel. DO NOT TOP BEFORE 3 SETS OF BRANCHES!
