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

Outdoor Auto Training Any outdoor auto growers out there? What do you recommend for increasing yield? Topping? FIMing? Go au naturale/nothing? Still a couple of weeks before flowering stage.

Did I FIM it right? Strawberry Gorilla strain.Is this FIMed correctly? It's my first time topping or FIMing. I chose to FIM as I've read it can be less stressful on plants. So I'm wondering if I did it correctly. Just after the 4th node. The little pieces sticking out aren't part of the top. Thanks much.

Too late to top these autos? I'm at the end of 3rd week.Should I have topped this one a couple days ago? These girls have been very vigorous. The only thing that gave me pause was these miniscule white pistils right here. Can I snip em, you think? Or bad idea? And if yes, should I FIM instead?
