Should I top now?

  1. I plan on doing an LST after and by the time I get home today that new set of leaves will already probably be out. Any opinions??

  2. If it were mine I would FIM it, that way you will end up with 4 main colas to LST.
     
  3. So if do go with fimming, would now be the time or wait?

  4. Fim right before your dark cycle that way you plant gets a jump on recovery. Worked for me.
     
  5. I believe you could top or fim now, just remember that the smaller your plant the more risk for doing harm to the plant is. Once a plant gets taller and bushier theres more room for error. At Least i believe that. Because there is a lot more to the plant.
    Im speaking from my experience. Not science fact, or anything I have read.
     
  6. You can top. Whenever you get the first 5 set leaves you can top

  8. This is my first time posting and it is as well my first grow. I have done hours of research daily for about a year as well as watching and helping my old-head friends with a lot of experience over the last year. My room is 12.5' X 10.5'. I've decided to go with 16 15 gallon pots, pots were free so I went with em, of all natural soil with low nutes mixed with a lot of perlite and about half coco coir. I'm growing grape God and northern lights from clone. I have about 4000 watts. Mylar on walls and reflective tarp on the floor. I'm using CNS17 grow and bloom. They are grown about 2 weeks from clone. They are currently in 5 gallon buckets. I just topped them. I'm going to give it about 5 days before I transfer them into the large pots. Then 6 more weeks of veg. Topping 3 more times before I flower. I will also be LST'ing. I honestly don't know what to ask. How often do I water my plants? How much nutrients should I use? Do I need anything else? Do I have enough light to support 16 large plants? My genetics are top notch guaranteed, how do I make sure I yield high, and get fat dense nugs? What might I yield? Any tips I could use? Pics coming in a few days.

    I'm using a humidifier and dehumidifier with a digital Barometer and a standing oscillating heater and air conditioner for optimal temperature and humidity levels. I'm using 1 8in inline vent fan to blow stale air out and 1 8in fan for fresh air coming in. Also using 3 18in oscillating fans
     
  9. I just did this yesterday. Hoping for some results when I check them in a few hours :pumped:
