After a couple of waterings with a commercial fertilizer my girls are looking better than ever. The yellowing has subsided and the plants have gotten a nicer green color. Thanks to all who gave advice!

    I hadnt even considered topping it… I feel dumb now. I’ve been doing it to more or less all my other herbs😐 I think ill start the flowering early august so maybe its a bit late to start topping now

    On side note… I love my garden. Its so fulfilling learning to grow vegetables and herbs🧑‍🌾

      Nah it’s not late. They have a growth spurt when they enter flower, so if you top now, it will be a more all around growth spurt and less straight up with the top cola.

      Doesn’t even need to cut off the main node, just crush it a lil bit to break it.

      Most of the time I defoliate the smallest lower branches just when entering flower and still keep shaping the plant with gentle bending of the branches. Give it a good once-over once she’s ready to fruit and I change the lights.

      Those are gonna be massive after they enter flower.
