NobodysBudsanswered grow question 5 years ago
when i did community service at a greenhouse in my teens (bwahaha), i learned you skip a node when pruning. 1 node, 2nd node - cut above. 1-2-cut above. etc..
It's probably safer to wait for 6-7 nodes before you start cutting your plant, though. You never want to take off more than 1/3rd of your plant at a time. Greater chance of shocking it and stalled growth for a period of time that can last a while in some cases.

Hi!
I think you should let her grow 5-6 nodes before topping/fimming 'cos this way she can handle the stress little bit better 'cos shes older

How does one LST a FIMed plant? Where to start specifically?What LST method should I use with my FIMed Strawberry Gorilla Auto? Should I try to Tie Down? Do I wait for the top shoots to start showing? Tie just the side branches down? Bend the whole plant? Wait and do nothing? Please, all opinions matter. Thanks!

Did I FIM it right? Strawberry Gorilla strain.Is this FIMed correctly? It's my first time topping or FIMing. I chose to FIM as I've read it can be less stressful on plants. So I'm wondering if I did it correctly. Just after the 4th node. The little pieces sticking out aren't part of the top. Thanks much.

Fimming again?About the Frosty Friday, I'm still learning to HST / Topping / Fimming. I picked it up from a local Growshop last week and it was topped and all the branches were fimmed. I did some LST and it seems to recover pretty fast, should I keep fimming the branches? 4 Branches/ 14 Shoot

To LST or not to LST?I have 2 healthy Automaria II, paradise seeds, 3 weeks after germination and 16 cm tall, on the balcony and I am tempted to bend one of them and practice some LST of FIMming to see the difference. I don’t know.. I don’t want to risk the final harvest quantity.. Any advise?
