FIM, late TOP the LSD ?

[autoflowerjunk]

High Autoflower Community,hope someone could give me a little advice here.
I have a situation I can't really deal with, my LSD from Barney's is really short and kind of slow grower.Obv I haven't topped it,probably have about 2gal soil inside the pot which is not much imo.
She's prolly about 3 months old now , and she is still steady flowering...slowly
check pics



As you might see I cut off 2 or 3 bud branches from the middle of the plant
Beause it was getting too tight, and she wasn't stretching out properly..like the bottom
I will point out that the buds weren't getting proper lights and buds didn't look developed, it looked more deformed and very light green to blond .I can't describe it really lol
so basically I was thinking just to top her at this stage.
Any recommendations if I should or nah?

P.S Tips would be highly valued from people who grew this strain already

Don't top her dear! It's far too late!

You're in late flowering and the best you can do now is let it finish,

The middle branch chopping hasn't helped you much - it may have been better to use string and "open up the plant" to get more light to the bud sites, but they would have developed a bit anyway.
The chop probably slowed down your plant a bit too - Auto dont like recovery much!

Just see this one through to harvest - Autoflowers are on a life and death timer (usually around the 80 day mark) at three months you're pretty much finished with this one. She wont grow in height but may pack on some bulk and weight so keep it going.

If you can get better close ups of the buds, we can have a "best guess" at a chop date for you - but you'll get some buds from it!

Hope this helps

Thanx for your quick reply blue
have you grew this strain before? its not an auto tho
Using Strings,damn that idea didn't pop at that time lol
its been about a week or so now,that I chopped those few bud branches off.
But using tied strings how would I do that?
Drill holes on the edge of the pot,and just string em down with regular tight strings?

Goby the trichs my man get a loop or a magnifying glass and get in there and see what stage of maturity the trichomes are at personally I like a very stony high so I wait until I have a good amount of amber colored trichs. If u harvest when they are all clear or getting milky it will be more cerebral

Idk does it look like it stretching to you seasickdee?
its short branching...which I don't like
Been using The MarsHydro 600w refl. led
Its has warm white diodes ,it goes way to quick into flowering,but I'm switching up to natural white diodes soon
Idk does it look like it stretching to you seasickdee?

It looks to me like it got an early stretch and then never had a chance to really fill out as far as the lighting goes if she's a photo period to me it seems that u switched the lights to soon causing her to bud without the proper vegatative growth

Sadly I don't own a "magnifier loop".
: (
Should order one of those jewellery loops
Dang!lol

A regular old magnifying glass should work to bud

Personally I would have veged it for 2 to 3 months then bang her into flower
