So they have settled in to the new pots and settled down from the stress of being topped and are on to new growth. Ive given them a couple of diluted coffee waterings now and it has really helped spark their vegetative growth.
Well.... I gotta say, they are doing well, but the topping REALLY slowed them down. Im not so sure I should have topped them, and next time ... I think Ill just let them grow naturally. I have a shit ton of vertical height in my tent and these guys are just putting out new shoots rather then growing up. I know thats the POINT of topping, but shit .. I didnt realize it would slow virtually all verticle growth ... which is kind of what is happening here.
Oh well, I topped them .... so Im gonna let them go how they may. Ill probably give them a fish/seaweed watering next watering... and I might give each of them a tablespoon of tomato tone as a top dressing now that they are establishing themselves. I see a few with some yellowed leaves so possibly a N deficiency... which could also explain the slow growth (what I think to be slow anyway).
Ive been thinking that its because of the topping, but maybe its a combination of the topping and lack of N.
They are starting to bud, although they are still pretty small as far as Im concerned... I still gotta say topping was a no-no on them. We will see how much they continue to grow... I may end up transplanting 6 of them into 5 gallon buckets at a later time, but Ill give them a few months. Maybe Ill start hitting them with high N to delay fruitset...
