As you can see all three girls are responding very well to both topping and defoliation, barely taking a day to recover before they fire into growth overdrive.
I defoliated the lower leaves on all three so now all shoots are meeting at a fairly level canopy. I'm considering Fimming again once I get a look at development tomorrow or Friday. Just sneaking this last one in before the flower cycles due to start.
Update - 9/6 FIMmed all three girls today, each with about 3 - 4 FIMs. I'll take a pic of the FIM sites and update on Sunday with a growth report.
Update - 12/6 Well as you can see there's been another growth explosion in response to the fimming with all three coming together to form a nice dense canopy. There's a little unwanted leaf growing further down and a couple of bud sites but I'll be defoliating them at the start of next week to give the girls a bit more focus up top. We should be seeing signs of preflower showing soon so I'd rather be done stressing them out too much by that point. That said they've literally bou ced back from any high stress within a few hours as long as they've been well fed around the same time.
Nice my friend, I would definitely recommend topping as it can seriously increase yield and I find it easier to lst.
Buy if your gonna top then do it just before you feed then it helps with the stress 👌👌👌
@Kommandant666, never fimmed mate only ever topped and trust me I wouldn't go back to natural.
Key is nice healthy plant growing day by day top between the 2nd or 3rd week depending on growth and after you do it feed them it helps with the stress
I seen a guy put a small bucket in his tent with a towel half in and out if the bucket, pointed the fan at it and the towel acted like a wick and brought water up then when the fan air hit it presto it raised it and in the plus side if it goes up to much you can lift it out 😎😎😎
@Green_fiend, I actually tried the towel method with my NLA grow but it didn't work so well, a lot of hovering over it and making sure it didn't dry or get too humid. Wound up just placing a water dish in the corner and letting the heat from the lights do the work. Normally sit around 35% and that raised it to a nice 42 - 48% pretty reliably. Think there needs to be a pretty specific temp range for it to work like this tho, just been super lucky 😂
