looks like a rookie did it lol Doobie



I'm pretty lazy myself Doobie I like to top after the 3rd node or so and then tie down your tops and keep them going horizontally. After you tops spit out a couple of nodes shooting up (remember the tops are running horizontally) then I usually clear the first and second node or whatever is under where you topped. The longer you keep those tops from running up then the more nodes you'll have. best of luck

You're bang on McLovin, re: tying down the top from the start. So, just to be different ;), I decided to tie down everything 'cept the top, in an effort to ensure a decent sized main cola.

Actually, I was worried that my soil-surface was not big enough to coil the top around...maybe give this a shot later, as I'm cutting a bunch of clones soon.

nothing ventured, nothing gained....even if only knowledge.

...somehow posted in the wrong thread. I'm pro now.

Two Thumbs Up! Thank you.

Amazing guide. Taught me a ton.
thx very much

FIM - Just cut 80% of the top new growth. Do like you would if you were to "top it" like pinch in the center leaving the two baby leaves on the sides. to "FIM" you will cut it at apx.80% down from top of growth shoot and 20% from new node and leave the two baby leaves...it is simply a topping method and another way to explain "FIM" is

Fuck
I
Missed

cause you meant to top it, but only cut off 80%... try it in a few areas and see... if you have your system dialed and you know what the strain will do, you can work wonders with "Fimming".


SPIRAL OUT...KEEP GOING...
