How did you get them that bushy, did you fim them?
Haha years of practice my guy.
Thats alot of topping and I only do fimming on the final top about 10 days before bloom when i lollipop them.
I also use hard n quik foliar spray 2x per week. Its the only all organic pgr on market that really works. And its all natural made from sea kelp and special forms of bacteria that promotes branch development and tight internodal spacing.
Funny u ask as all my buddies do as well. Even guy who taught me how to grow asks me for pointers now. Check my posts on the defoliation thread i got my pics on there. U wanna see bushes i got plants that are 36" wide and only 12" tall.
its all about knowing when to top.
If u grow from seed top the 4th true node. Once u do that u top every 3rd node, right above the 2nd true node take the new growth right off. I do this 4-5x's. And let all the inside growth and small shoots come up to canopy and than top those too.
Use the foliar application and some practice and anyone can do it. I dont tie shit down I dont train them simply topping and using good lighting keeps em tight and bushy

I also swear by H&G roots excelleratur I cant prove that its the main reason my plants are so stout n bushy but I attribute it too the success as well. Focuses on explosive root growth which obviously helps keep plants short and grow well. And use wide pots not deep ones. I got straight from the 6" containers into a 2 gallon pot than finishing containers 2 weeks before bloom when I do all my other prep work.
All these little things make a difference IMHO.

I gave them a good feeding today I will post pics in about 4 days maybe 5 to see if they get better or what. Yours looks how they did when I first got them. Mine are about 23 inches tall and in about week 4-5 Veg in 5 gallon pots. They were really little when I got them like not even a root. I feed real good though and will post update. Thanks for the help since the other guy is to good to help or whatever

The biggest hurdle is in the mind, when I first started the thought of topping/cutting the plant appalled me lol, I'm not cutting my plant down, now as soon as I hit 6 notes I chop down to node 3
Thats so funny I got a buddy of mine older guy mid 60s who sees my garden and asks how I get my plants so big and bushy. I continuously tell him to top and pinch, but he just never seems to take the plunge. He loves the "king bud" and doesnt understand you get just the same main buds maybe not as large as that one you get without topping but you get way more of them. And he just never does it.
But amazingly he still does really well. He hit 1.5 pound a light last time on 3 huge fckin plants on an 6 week veg from seed. He just does 1 light and does 3 girls and last year he got 10 ounces off just one of the widow xtreme plants no topping or anything. And got around 14 ounces off others 2 sativas he ran. Point is you dont really need to top your plants to get good yields, its just a preference thing and is done for people who are trellising, scrogging and utilizing your space. There would never be a time I wouldnt pinch fim or top unless autos but again I dont like autos either so I probably wont ever do it maybe if I did outdoors just dont like growing outside either to many potential problems in general.
But some people just dont understand basic concepts and its nature that ppl stick to things that are comfortable and dont like change. Eventually people come around but it a learning curve.

It's a learning curve all right, I learn something new every single grow and other peopled methods, it's just grabbing bits of information here and there adding to your own, in 20 years I still be learning
If anyone claims to know everything about growing they are only fooling themselves thered always something to learn. This goes for life in general. Anyone who thinks they know everything is setting themselves up for failure.
The only people who are intelligent enough to not be afraid to ask questions will continue to learn while know it alls will drown in their own foolishness
Post pics. Takes few days week for nutrients to work and anything that was affected usually doesnt get better unless it was just mag nitrogen or iron if its calcium or potassium they wont get better.
