Hey guys,

My plant here is about 5 weeks since germination. It has 4 sets of 'nodes' i think ? And is producing its next set now. Should i TOP or FIM the plant shortly or let it grow for a few more weeks ?

Thanks

I just fimed my little ones about that size....still waiting for them to regenerate still.
I usually do it when they're about a foot high.....i think thats better for me.

If thats the only one and you can live with trying some training try it. :joint:

I'd let it get a bit taller, around the 5th node is usually where I'd top a plant from seed. How big do you want this plant to get?

Here's 2 shots of a random freebie mix that I'm digging that I fimed 1-2 weeks ago
Just took out of solo cups......less than an hour ago.

A lot of people wait until 5 sets of nodes in veg, then top it back to 3 sets, or just FIM it.

lets kill two birds wiht one stone

i would let it grow a few more inches and then take a cutting off the top

you will be topping your baby and also holding onto what could turn out to be something you may want to grow again

are you topping for yield or to limit growth?

You can always prune and re vege a plant you want to keep after you see how it turns out in flower, then take cuttings.

This shit ain't rocket surgery ... hehehe... so to me it looks about right.

Like pop rocks asked....for curiosity sake.

If you ever get the opportunity to super crop that shit is crazy fun.

let that thing grow, the trick is dont killl it with love, i loved some real nice genetics to death , best to let them alone, dont over think it, ive fucked up many a harvest topping a plant that doesnt like it, they didnt grow , you will know when ya need to top it when it screams its way way too big

Thanks guys, Im topping for both higher yield and because of the limited grow space i have.

Even today less then 24 hours after topping , i can see the two little shoots starting to grow from just below where i cut :)

Exciting times ! Glad to have friends on here that are so helpful !

How they looking. The bottom fan tip caught my eye. Your ladies doing good?

Im a big fan of topping and like someone mentioned using that for a clone. 2 or 4 shoots for short grows smaller pots works great.. bigger the pot the more shoots it will support properly.. meaning the plant will have the ability to produce the quality and size of bud your looking for.

No need for concern about that burnt tip, got a little bit of nute burn when it was very young, has recovered perfectly i believe.

Id love to be able to use cuttings for clones but i dont have a space to put clones or anywhere for them to veg while the others are flowering :(

Ghetto grow test techniques in full effect with the bucket & fabric bag.
downside is extreme pressure from the tie down made this split almost right down the middle.
Duct tape baby! :woohoo:
Good luck :joint:
