    'I wanna top this lil lady. She's a clone. I'm expecting to flip her in a week or two if growth continues as is.

    Is it too late? and how would I go about promoting bushy growth at this point?

  2. How big is your grow space? Topping now would encourage undergrowth and a more "bushy" plant. Flowering in 2 weeks will result in a very small yield. If you can spare 4-6 weeks of vegging I would encourage you to too the plant and lst the side branches as they grow out.

    It's a box, I'd say she's a third of the useable height. At guess I'd say the box is 3" tall x 1.5" to 2" wide.
     
    One last question, I know topping is taking off the newest growth, and I've watched videos on it, but just to be sure... Do I take it off at the red line, or the blue?

  4. The red is a good place to start, for now.
     
  5. if  you topped in the blue would it be considered the  fim technique. 
     
  6. Yes. More or less.
     
  7. Well I topped her at the red line, and LST'd her to one side, I'll get pics later so you guys can tell me what you think.
