Topping/fimming

I just messed up my plants last week with a fucked up fim job but they bounced back in about two days and I have since topped them again and you can't tell I even cut them. By the looks of my plants I think the fim did work because instead of 4 tops like I had wanted I am seeing 8 to 10 tops on all of them hmmm. but ya your plant will be fine.
Damn!! 8 or 10?!!! That's a heck of a FIM job!

I haven't seen growth in my plants like this before and this particular strain I have grown many times before. Mind you this is my first grow with aeroponics and of course the fucked up fim hmm I just don't know but they look great really bushy.

When I fimed it was to short and nothing came of it so I cut it out to get the tops but doing so forced the rest of the plant to go crazy and top's started showing up everywhere. I think I will have to cut some out or else they will definitely over run my tent.

Ther acting almost like I mainlined them less the manifold.

your girls look amazing man. well see how she reacts to this topping. i don't know if i will top again. she will be starting her 5th week tomorrow. will she stay in veg until i switch her over to 12/12 right?it wouldn't be until my autos finished by then tho i imagine she will be quite large.

Yes a plant will continue to veg as long as it has light24/7. If they get to tall you can supercrop. All that means is pinching the branches carefully so not to break it and this will slow the growth on that particular branch(leaves and stretch)but will force the bud spots to grow faster. I supercrop all the time but with this crop I just don't know I really pushed them and I got so much growth right now I'm not sure what to do. People will say leave them but I grow this weed many times and when I say looking at my plants now I know there will be no room in that tent a month from now. I should take a few pic's of the rootball's for you guy's, there huge.

Id like to see where they are at a month from now, i can only imagine how bushy she will be then. my next grow I would like to top all of them to see how far im able to push it. This grow is somewhat of a test run. I have a whole room available thats fairly large. bigger then most tents i would say. I need to find a better way to decrease spacing between the containers as you can see there is plenty of light that just isn't being used.

Yes we will see as I will post pic's during the grow. My next grow I think I will just stick two girls in my tent and mainline them. Damn that mainlining is something else one plant 32 tops all the same height and thickness how sweet. I should have done that this time around but I wanted to use the last of these reg kush seeds so I don't know how many fem's I have but from experience with this strain I say I got 3 girls in there. Those big ones I'm sure will be male.

Whats mainlining? one plant 32 tops? how does that even work. i would much rather have one massive plant then multiple.i saw a video the other day, guy had 4 plants and all produced over 1lb. giant ass circle of cola's.

thanks :). im happy to have had a these guys to talk to they have been very helpful. i got some other questions about my autos and feeding. im gonna start a new thread but ill ask here as well. 6 out of my 8 have started flowering and pistils are coming up everywhere. Should i give them another week of veg feeding or should i switch it right over to the flowering feeding for the nutrients i have? and should i purchase a bloom nutrient or stick with the simple nutrients schedule.

Speaking of the manifold I saw a pic somewhere where they took that manifold and turned it into a shrine with candles and all. If I find the pic i'll post it.

Your plants are comming alon nicely. Things start getting expensive when you go from dirt to hydro. It took me a while to save enough paper to buy my tent, hood and buckets. Then theres the nutes bulbs fans etc etc. Now my bro wants me to set him up with the same setup fuck thats another 800.00. But it's all good at least we can stagger the grows.

I was thinking of vegging them till my next res change(2weeks)but damn they growing fast I think I will be flipping them next week sometime or there is just going to be no room in that tent.

Well when you do get into hydro you can always ask me for help because theres no turning back for me now.

Btw your plants are looking good but in the last pic I see heat stress or maybe the light is to close but the leaves are curling up on the edges.
