Bonjour,
I am a first time grower and need some help. I have attached a few photos for your reference. First two are from 24 hours ago. the last three are from about 30 minutes ago. My question is, why does it appear to have 4 new stems/nodes from the main one, after I topped it? and yes I really do believe I topped it and not FIMed it. now a little back story:
1) Hydro System in a professional grow closet(25 gallon reservoir)
2) being fed at 330 PPM(instruction recommend 450PPM)
twice a day
I use a water filter(leaves the purified water with 15-20 PPM as a base)
I check PH every 48 hours and its never outside the 5.5-6.5 range. I use the digital and PH drop testing just to be sure
3) waited till the 5th leaf was showing signs of growth
4) Used sterile precise plant snipper
5) cut the whole stem right before the 5th stem was growing
6) Strain is LSD
recovered in 36 hours and new leaves and existing were already getting bigger. within 72 hours, the plant leaves got huge and very thick stems but 4 stems are purple/green(the oldest ones). now the 4 new leaves are already growing nicely, but no real height has formed. Plant feels like its been that high since sprouting.
To its credit. that plant is a survivor. only one out of ten that survived germination(i got really really high and fucked a lot of things up) left in the dark for 48hours after sprouting(2-3 inches tall), very milky and transparent stem for the first 2 weeks. to much light and food. Then, i flushed it with just water for 2 whole days. during that time i switched it over to a 18 to 6 light schedule. emptied the container, cleaned it and replaced the water and reduced the food PPM greatly, and replaced the LED lights to T-5 Side lights, and it really started taking off, except growing taller wise. The plant in the photo is exactly 38 days old. and still pretty tiny. Hoping for some help.
