a couple of ? for maintaining those beauties.......
should the plants be fed their nutes every 2days or watering?
when you trim of some leaves is it good to plug the hole with water or some plant food liquid. i know of a technique which you pinch the stem of skinny stems to make them stronger....should you do thaankt to stems that have been topped also?

I feed soil plants every other watering
when you make a cut just make a clean cut, the plant will heal quickly. an oscillating fan works best for strengthing the stems. I only pinch a stalk if I want to supercrop a plant and bend it over, then if it is real stiff I will pinch the stem so it dont break off.

o yea heard of that one yes just for super cropping to maintain their height right....
what about when its a small or baby plant pinch the stems to strenghten?
what about misting them?

Bad idea, you can tap the small stalks a few time a day but I dont recommend a new grower pinching small stalks, its too easy to crush the stem.

Misting, I dont really do it unless I want to kill spidermites or mildew later on in a grow. What the plant really needs when they are small is humidity. An easy way to get that in a small space is with a small tub of water and a hand towel. fill the tub and put the tip of the towel in the water, hang the rest of the towel and put a small fan on it. The towel will wick up the water and the fan will dry it. = moisture in the air.



That will increase the relative humidity and keep it stable.
