Buddersanswered grow question 3 years ago Hi. I FIM instead of top, and use SCROG netting to train my plants, weaving them and tucking the tops under the netting as they go through their stretch during flower. I like FIMing better, because it gives you more tops if performed correctly. But with FIMing or topping, I generally wait till I see about 4 nodes or more. I am currently growing in a 20"x36" grow tent, with 8 plants in 2 gallon fabric pots. I counted and have a little over 70 bud sights at the top of the canopy. I expect to harvest about a pound of flower from this grow😎 Good luck on finishing this grow, and your future grows.
