When to 12/12?
Floristasstarted grow question 5 years ago
Hello, I fimmed the main cola of my plants a week ago. They got bushier during the week. I am thinking to top their every branch and switch lights to 12/12 schedule is this a good idea and how long should i wait after topping to go to 12/12?

Hey buddy ;-) after topping you should wait at least 1-2 weeks for the plant to recover from the stress 🙏🏻👌👍🌱

hey there, good idea, only thing i would suggest is wait until the plant recovers before you flip to 12/12 ... you really want the plant to be 100% going into the flower period. Hope this helps ! 🚀

He visto un vídeo donde hablan de defoliación y poda de bajo luego de pasar las plantas a 12/12, he leido que una vez se coloca las plantas a florecer nono debería; ahora mismo tengo unas plantas que llevan 5 días que las pase a 12/12 y tengo debajo de la malla unas ramas que no llevan luz y en la parte de arriba unas hojas muy grandes que paran el paso de la luz, puedo defoliar y hacer poda de bajos al 7mo dia?Other.

Late topping to take direct clone from topping after 8 or 9 nodes?Late topping to get a decent clone (two nodes) with first topping?
What do you guys think, is there a too late for topping? Normaly i top only the tip and take clones later from branches.
My girl nr.4 is three weeks behind she could catch up, cutting the clone from branches?Plant. Too tall

Grow techniquesAny of the gurus of LST, main lining and other grow techiques willing to share an idea how to further improve the plants behavior. 🙂
I intend to further remove branches and leave only one at each of the nodes where there are two, make the canopy wide and airy. +root cut branches2 years ago

Grow strategy for 2 ILGM Purple Punch AutosI'm told this is a bushy strain and I might want to top the plant?
Suggestions?
If so when/how?
Should I split strategies between 2 plants to see whats better for this strain?
I know I'm probably over thinking it. But come on you remember when you first started. :)Week 1

Topping LSD and Acapulco GoldAnyone have any experience topping LSD or Acapulco Gold Strains? I've never grown these strains before and am curious how they respond to topping. Going to do it anyway, just looking for any insight from someone who's done it before. Thanks!Week 3

Topping very bushy plants with low node distanceThis plant is very bushy already in this stage, is this normal?
I wanted to top them and ask about the timing, if its right or not, but it's getting hard to count the nodes and take photos , because there is so much in the way.
Happy growing!Leaves. Too many
