ok so i think im ready to top my plant??? im at around 18 inches in the third full week of veg, does anyone have any idea where and how to top the plant in a good way?? and is my plant ready yet? how do you know when its ready??
i dont wanna end up with a tall skinny plant but not sure if im topping too early? alot of stuff ive read says to top the plant around two nodes down? is this enough? i want a bush not a lamppost! please help!
also i read a term FIMing instead of topping?? wot is that? cheers!!:eyesmoke:

topping is easy, cut off the top! about 1/4 inch above any node 4 nodes up or higher. I like to top as high as i can, and you may have to top the 2 new shoots as they grow up.
