How-To : Fimming and Topping made Easy

[Nasten]

If one is to combine fiming and lst(which i gather u are doing dierwolf) how does one get the best results? Should you start with lst and then fim the lowest pair of tops when they are going up? I was thinking so one gets a pretty even height of the plant..

[DierWolf]

No you fim the longest branches, this slows the top growth to allow shorter branches to catch up at the same time creating multiple ends at the Fim point.

[Nasten]

Yeah, that was actually what I meant(I was referring to the branches that is the furthest down the stem, I suppose these are the ones that get long first..)
Tnx!

Switch to 18/6... plant will grow much better with more sleep and show sex easier. Plant is quite small for its age but is branching nicely.

Are you giving it good air circulation? when i say that i mean air fresh in Co2 (like outside air not indoor air)

When you say 100watts of floro, is that Equivalent wattage or actual flourescent wattage (example, multiple 32w compact flourescents)

[DierWolf]

option 1 is to keep the window cracked open to let the stale air out and fresh air in.

Option 2 is fashioning some sort of plenum over the cracked window area and ducting that air to the box. (this is the better option for proper growth)

hmm.. interesting i am definately going to do something, thanks. Also here is a picture of what I am hoping to be female traits .. i dont know if this is the hairs from what i see in the male/female pictures or if its my mind wanting it to be a fmale so bad lol check it out

[DierWolf]

Dont see any hairs, but i do see a hint of 2 white wispy things at the very top can you focus in on that?

Excellent thread (added to bookmarks)

You mentioned on the first page of doing this when the plant is in first week of flower.

Having read my thread (1st attempt bg) Would you think this would be the right way to go ?

And only the very top bud right?

Thanks again excellent thread

WEll you could just switch it to 12/12 if your in a hurry to find the sex and once it shows switch back to 18/6... Up to you.
