G'day, well you are started with a seedling.

 

What you want to d is let it grow beforeyou tip the main shoot. The point to tipping is to create new branches. When there is one branch and tip, it will become two... do you get the point?

 

Just keep the soil moist, water lightly 2 times a day... thats all i ever do, and I get good results... Tho, are you growing indoors or out?

[johnnyboy]

aweet, do you know what I eman about tipping> How many sets leaves are growing out? i usually klet 2 sets form and then tip the plant...

Hopefully you will understand it hey...

 

The yellow line marks where to cut it...

 

Use nice shart scissors, the cleaner the better tho not crutial....

 

HAve you added any fertilizer?? I like to use a nitrogen based liquid feed or plain old ozmocota...

MJ plants don't like wet feet all the time. Watering every day in a soil without good drainage could cause overwatering problems. MJ does better in a wet/not so wet cycle. Roots need oxygen just as much as they need water.

 

Plants generally droop when overwatered. Unfortunately they also droop when underwatered you just gota judge whats going on yourself. In the blazing sun you may well need to water every day. but indoors for example, you would only water soil every 2nd day usually.

brings up a question Pipeman, If they dont like wet feet why are there autopot systems?

Do these not work or just fiddly or a scam?

 

also tipping is good, but research FIMMing the plant, its even better. I was sceptical but tried it and instead of 2 shhots I got 3 or 4.
