[cannabisweedPotNerd]

Need advice please and ty

top?

 

[cannabisweedPotNerd]

yeah

 

[GreatwhiteNorth]

Yes you can.

 

[Flagg420]

ooooh yes.... and it can get fun.... veg a plant for 30-40 days, topping like a crazy man... flowers into a bush that needs help supporting all its cola buds...

for cola dominant strains, read up on mainlining, its neat as hell...

 

[Flagg420]

Give about a week or so between, you'll see when the new growths are good, and dont try to mix it with FIM topping... stressful to plant...

 

[cannabisweedPotNerd]

also fimming?

 

[GreatwhiteNorth]

also fimming?

Yes, Fim as well.
All the training methods work well during Veg - too much of that in flower hurts yield.

 

[cannabisweedPotNerd]

how does fim and also topping a single plant do? Can i just change if its been a day later?

 

[Captaincandy]

I've fimm'd and topped a few girls, 2 different strains and my Candyland is responding well, once I corrected a ph issue, but my gorilla glue still has really skinny stems (main stem) and light green leaves. I'm thinking a supercrop smash at the base of the stems will help. Thoughts anyone? They're about 5 weeks into veg.

I should add that I'm trying to get a decent mom.

I have had plants in the past I tried to FIM, it didnt take well, so I finished off with a clean top, if thats what you mean? If so, thats kosher too....

I've not had success with fimming either. Watched plenty of videos, did exactly what they did with no luck. Still looking for the results of fimming so I can see what it's supposed to look like.

It was my first time and most of them had some problems for a while, twisted, deformed leaf growth, but the shoots ended up catching up and they're better now, I'm thinking I need more light for starters.

I've topped my girls twice this grow. Next grow I think I might go three times, I'll be growing blueberry and I've read that strain responds well to topping.

I got one that split exactly the way I wanted it to. The rest were variations of fucked up.

 

[Joe Blows Trees]

So do you have four, six, eight, or more tops that are supposed to result from the fim? Glad you got one, guess I may try again next go round, to close to flower time now.

 

[Joe Blows Trees]

And the two I tried fimming deformed as well. Took three nodes for them to straighten up.

 

[cannabisweedPotNerd]

Can you top em like 2 weeks away from flowering?

 

[Joe Blows Trees]

Can you top em like 2 weeks away from flowering?

Yes, normally takes a week for them to adjust and begin growing.
