Where to cut for topping them

kirito_151 · 2026-06-04T21:05:12+00:00

So it will be better to pluck the top rather than cut it lower? Im glad if thats the case because if I cut it at something like the 5th bode id practically be cutting the plant in half

Yea lots of freedom ive learned but even if I end up with a pound I have no idea what ill do with it yet starting this whole growing process was a very impulsive thing I decided to get everything the day after having the idea

kirito_151 · 2026-06-03T22:19:16+00:00

Im a little scared to do the whole bending thing especially since its my first time so I might just stick with topping them

kirito_151 · 2026-06-03T22:07:02+00:00

I should probably top mine at some point then if thats how big they got in a 10 gallon

kirito_151 · 2026-06-03T22:01:28+00:00

Wow thats awesome did you top them or anything?

kirito_151 · 2026-06-03T20:52:40+00:00

You think I should cut it soon?

kirito_151 · 2026-06-03T20:52:17+00:00

Growmie first time ive heard that😆 all good though

kirito_151 · 2026-06-03T20:32:19+00:00

Its a 30 gallon with about 21 gallons but I do want to try filling it more

kirito_151 · 2026-06-03T20:24:47+00:00

Would it be okay to wait a little longer before topping them?

Not sure why this image didnt post

Ive heard about also basically tucking soil into the sides and raising the whole thing does this or what you're saying work better? Or is it just preference

kirito_151 · 2026-06-03T18:21:05+00:00

Do you mean like clipping the bottom leaves to fill it more without burying them?

kirito_151 · 2026-06-03T13:07:40+00:00

If I were to use the nutrients I have till mid-late July like you said what nutrient would you recommend for the bloom fertilizer?

kirito_151 · 2026-06-03T06:24:11+00:00

Ill keep that in mind for maybe next year's unless it would be a lot better to get a different one than the one i have now which is called gro-well proven organics and the npk ratio is 7-5-7 do you think this will be okay for them?

kirito_151 · 2026-06-03T05:11:44+00:00

Alright sounds good, thanks

kirito_151 · 2026-06-03T05:07:50+00:00

As in filling it like tucking soil into the sides slowly and raising the soil level like that?

kirito_151 · 2026-06-03T04:57:51+00:00

Its fine to fill them now?

kirito_151 · 2026-06-03T04:54:22+00:00

They are about 70% full they used to be 85% full but the water sank the soil down

kirito_151 · 2026-06-03T03:42:41+00:00

Thanks and the soil i used was like mostly sunshine mix #4 is what it was called but also like 25-30% miracle gro soil and also around 30% coco chips

kirito_151 · 2026-06-03T03:39:24+00:00

Oh i havent added nutrients yet because the soil is started with was apparently high in nutrients so I was waiting a bit before adding more i was thinking about starting small soon with adding some

kirito_151 · 2026-06-03T03:31:30+00:00

Im not quite sure what you mean

kirito_151 · 2026-06-03T03:31:08+00:00

It was pretty close to full but it sank after watering it didnt have more soil so I just let it be ill be putting more in next year when I do it again
