I grow squat plants too. Start by TOPing or FIMing, depending on the amount of nodes you want; I've left between 4 and 9 nodes. As for LST, as soon as it is tall enough to bend, you can start.

I've always done mine in week 4 onwards. But that's knowing its a healthy plant. You've got to remember that all of these techniques will stress the plant. So it needs to be healthy enough to recover.

Is it normal for a plant to start preflowering 3 days after flipping to 12/12? Or have I hermied them? The plants had a 4 week veg, and a little topping. I also had a male in the tent in the last grow, but cleaned the tent thoroughly. Do you think pollen could still be there? 😀

Won't cut yet or should I?Am I doing this right? The top arrow is the way I'm bending her, or do I bend her back, bottom arrow? I already stressed her out enough. I defoliated to get rid of shade, bent more. Tied down the twigs. Comments needed lol 👊

Basically, my question is: Can it be normal for an autoflower to not flower by day 54? #2 has started budding, but #1 is still just growing. Leaves are less rough too so I dont think its even started the change yet?!?!

Defoliation of all large fan leaves When defoliating is it ok to remove all of the large fan leaves? I have read conflicting reports in some cases stating that it will stress the plants and even reduce yeild rather than increase? Any links that include pics would be appreciated. Thanks to all of you

Auto defoliation Should I defoliate my plants more? I removed the bottom pair of nodes on both plants but they are still quite bushy. I'm hesitant to cause the plants unnecessary stress and negatively impact my yield, so would love any advice. Today is day 27 and they're pre-flowering.

most synthetic nutrients companies have a recommended dosage per week. at different stages of growth. Other growers say to use half strength of recommended dosage. Which should I follow.
