Early on trimming...?
- Thread starter Stomate
- Start date
So slow down on the feeding?
What are the signs that you’re seeing?

I do my first topping at about 4 branches up from the base...But thats me with 1 or 2 plants trying to cover giant area. Ive never noticed any crazy stress or anything so i dont see why trimming would be terrible. Idk why you would want to though, fan leaves are your power houses right now powering growth
It’s just so dense compared to most pictures I see of other peoples plants... the lower leaves are more or less completely blocked off from direct light
They were quite perky until a few days ago. Things started dropping off and then I decided to transplant (which was a solid idea since it looked pretty rootbound)... that picture was from two days prior to transplant

If they are getting no light at all, they are useless. Not powering anything for growth. You have (it looks like) a very short stocky heavy indica dominant plant, which tends to have very close internodes like your seeing and being more densely vegetated.
That’s I guess my point... should I just chop those out? And I have no idea what it is. This is a random bag seed I’m screwing around with in coco before starting my rdwc up

If your not planning on LST i would chop the bottom ones yes. Keep anything that is getting direct light. If you are planning on using LST then wait until you tie off and THEN determine what to cut based on the light.
I think the lst ship has sailed... I was planning on doing it but the branches became very rigid very quickly.
To that point I’m leaning towards not applying fans to them so early on in the future ( at least until after I do some lst)

mine are kind of like that too. not sure if it's because the light was too close for too long or not. they did get bleached a little bit but it seems my Gorilla Glue want to stay tight and short
This is what I have now… seems to be pretty healthy though if you look at the photo of the knotty center I’m thinking maybe I topped wrong? All in all I’m happy with my experiment prior to starting up the rdwc. I’ve learned a lot, with a ways to go but any insight towards how things are looking would be greatly appreciated! Thanks I’m advance guys! This site has taught me a lot

Just squeeze the trunk a little back and forth, side to side...that shit will bend. Just gotta show her.
