Hi guys,

got my self 6x Amnezia and 6 Strwaberry Lemonade.
So I am now in the first week of flowering phase 12/12

Am I to late to do Topping or FIMming or not?
Down you can see some pics (they are sleeping now)

Pls can you give me a advice how to do that and what to do to get the strain more in the side and not in the height.

Thank you

Definitely need more light, and if you started flowering I wouldn’t do that to late if you ask me.

So should I just let them grow like this?
Because I am afraid of they could go just right up and not on the sides, so the harvest would not bring much.

They are reaching for Jesus usually that means light not close or not strong enough

IMO clones respond well to FIM. Seeds better with topping. You "could" still do either its not too late. They are still stretching, not even preflowering. Its not "ideal" to top or FIM in flower even 1 week into it. So I would say to not do anything. But as early into flower as they are, you could (still not reccomended) try one or two if you want to see what happens. But dont sacrifice all your potential tops.

You might want to consider tying shit down to control stretch. They are going to stretch over the first few weeks of flower. What lighting are you using, they look like plants U usually see under weaker CFL lights. Unless your tent is 10 foot high, your going to struggle to contain them as rule of thumb is that plants will double in size, if not close to, over flower period

I'd tie the tops down and get a net/trellis over them.

Any one fim then top? I have two going from seed. 4 weeks in. The fim one has much better branching but still has the main center stem and is going to get too tall.
