NobodysBudsanswered grow question 5y ago
when i did community service at a greenhouse in my teens (bwahaha), i learned you skip a node when pruning. 1 node, 2nd node - cut above. 1-2-cut above. etc..
It's probably safer to wait for 6-7 nodes before you start cutting your plant, though. You never want to take off more than 1/3rd of your plant at a time. Greater chance of shocking it and stalled growth for a period of time that can last a while in some cases.

Hi!
I think you should let her grow 5-6 nodes before topping/fimming 'cos this way she can handle the stress little bit better 'cos shes older

Fimming, done right?Hello guys, I just want to ask If I had done fimming of my plant right? She looks like she is growing normally(chrismas tree shape), I don´t think she is going to split the top into two more colas. Dont know if I have to try one more time, or to top her. Thanks

How does one LST a FIMed plant? Where to start specifically?What LST method should I use with my FIMed Strawberry Gorilla Auto? Should I try to Tie Down? Do I wait for the top shoots to start showing? Tie just the side branches down? Bend the whole plant? Wait and do nothing? Please, all opinions matter. Thanks!

11-15 cm, too small for fimming ?So I overfed them last week and now they are quite small (chlorosis). Most of them have 4 to 5 nodes. Should I wait for them to be taller (25-30cm ?) and greener for fimming ? I'm aiming to lollypop them later, I don't have much width. Thx !

FIMing feedback & Q: recovery week Nitrogen dose?Any feedback and / or suggestions on improving my FIMing technique 🎋 are welcome! Beginning of week 3.
For the next week (FIM recovery) should I keep adding Micro (2-0-0)? I’ve seen suggestions to ease off on Nitrogen for a week, but the bottles say always use all three parts
