HELP! New grow help

[YoungJ]

Hey everyone. Super new to growing and it has been crazy just getting to this point. Never grown any sort of plant. Wondering what my next steps should be. Just repotted these ladies in the 5 gallon bags of happy frog soil. They struggled a few days but are seeming to root again and continue growing. I have no idea what to do next. Looking at it I’m just now getting that 4th node of full leaves I believe. Should I tie them over and then top them once that 5th node comes out? Wait until I top it and then tie it over? On one of my little ladies is all those tiny leaves down there. Guessing cause they aren’t getting much light. Do I just leave all of that down there? When do I clean it up? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

YoungJ, we're here to help shadyconis correct , he's just busting your balls, don't do anything to her yet, study how to low stress train, wait a little bit before you top, and don't bend her,, you'll be bending the branches after you top

I see 4 branch nodes, your going to want at least 6-7, you may have to cut 1-2 off the bottom of the plants

Hey YoungJ Not trying to be a smart@$$ or anything but there is a tab at the top of this page called Growing Basics that will answer just about every basic question there is about growing weed.

If you look at growweedeasy.com and type anything in the search bar you will get a search of the website using google, it's awesome. I typed in 'when to top' and got a list of articles. This one was at the top of the page. https://www.growweedeasy.com/topping...op-your-plants

But lets pump the brakes a bit. Tell us about your grow set up. Do you grow in a tent? In a lung room? What light are you using? Tell us your grow environment particulars temps, RH, PH range, when your seeds sprouted, and that kind of stuff. Happy Frog soil will most likely require some amendments as your plants mature. What nutrients are you using? More details = better feedback for you. Relax, welcome aboard, you are in the right place.

That is an interesting way to water your plants. How often do you water?
I'm glad your plants are looking better. What brand and what specific nutrients do you plan to use? Deciding when to begin adding nutrients depends on having that information.

I water about every 3 days. I bought the fox farms trio package for nutrients so I have the Big Bloom, Tiger Bloom, and Grow Big. I read that I should use the Big Bloom to start out......

[golfnrl]

Been a minute since I looked at FF's feed schedule. But that sounds right, start with Big Bloom. It is used throughout the grow, and then Tiger Bloom comes during the flower period. Following FF's schedule and advice is good. I'd be careful with the starting amount. Maybe half of recommendations.

Well said, that would have taken me 3 days to type lol

From this morning.
