I have a bunch of Bubba clones which have been in my room 2 weeks (probably 4 weeks old total), still in 20/4 veg and will be for a while. Most of the Bubbas look likev this:
Short (4-5"), stocky and bushy, etc.
6 or 7 look like this:
7-8" tall, not as bushy, generally healthier.
I think I want to fimm the little ones and top the big ones (possibly re-using the the tops as more clones).
I went onto Uncle Ben's topping guide and it seemed pretty good. Are these plants ready for that kind of top yet? They have 4-5 nodes... I have noticed that in most of the pictures I've seen, the 'nodes' seem to have 2 symmetric stems growing fan leaves out opposite each other... mine don't seem to do that (usually just one). Does that make a difference?
Fimming actually seems a little easier and less invasive, and seems like it'd work well on these short, bushier guys. I think I'll let them veg up another 4 or 5 days, but when I do... when they say take '80%' of the new growth and cut it off... are they just meaning the growth since the last node? Or anything still developing? My last few nodes seem like they'd qualify as 'new growth', so I don't know if I'm just taking the latest leave thats popped out and most of its stem, or what.
I'm a pretty visual guy, really the best thign would be if someone would mspaint a 'cut here' line on my pictures. But I'll take any help I can get... thanks!
