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

Hola amigos, quiero probar a hacer corte apical y una poda de bajos. La idea es hacer el corte apical 7 días antes de pasar a floración y la poda de bajos después de 3 días de haber pasado a floración. Es justo hacerlo así o debo usar otra táctica? Gracias anticipadamente.Week 3

To LST or not to LST?I have 2 healthy Automaria II, paradise seeds, 3 weeks after germination and 16 cm tall, on the balcony and I am tempted to bend one of them and practice some LST of FIMming to see the difference. I don’t know.. I don’t want to risk the final harvest quantity.. Any advise?

How to top to make more colas (mainline)I was curious if anyone could help me understand how they train their plant to separate into like 7 or 8 different branches right down at the bottom of the stem. Almost looks like multiple topping on top of each. Any advice? Added a photo for more clarity.

First time FIM, does it look normal a few days later?Hi Growmies,
Just wondering if this FIM attempt is looking any good a few days on? It's just that I am struggling to visualise how it will end up? To me, she looks like she is carrying on growing in the "Christmas tree" format. Did I miss a FIM lmao? Is that possible? lol.. TY

FIM AdviceI fimmed the side branch growth in the first photo on 2/4/21. Doesn't look like it worked. When i fimmed, the growth looked like the second photo. Did I FIM too soon? Does the growth in the third photo look good to FIM at the point where my thumb is? Am i not supposed to FIM this
