started grow question 4 years ago
Would it be good to Top/fim this plant? It seems to be growing consistently, I don't want to do anything to reduce the yields though.

Fimming gone wrong?
Did my Fimming attempt go wrong? I fimmed my plant 5 days ago but for me it seems that it just grows normal, may i've cut too little? should i try again? or should i give it a few more days to finally see the results? Last pic is 5 days ago right after fimming.

Pistils? Steps from now on?
Hey this is my first plant. Went all good till now. Not the growth i had wished for, but im happy. Day 21 now i see pistils clearly. Isnt it a bit early for pistils, because the plant is relatively small. How should i proceed? LST? Topping an option or is it too late?

How and when to train?
Hi, first grow here. My automatics are at their 16th day above ground. I think I have to top one of my plants to keep her height in check. Where and when should I top her? should I rather only do LST or maybe even wait for now (but they are automatics, so I should be quick?)?

Bottom leaves yellowish - why? And can I top?
On both of my plants (C99 & S.A.D.) the bottom leaves are turning yellowish and I can't figure out why. I'd also like to top them this week (above 3rd node), but I'm hesitant because of the leaves. Any advice on what they may be missing, and whether I should wait with topping?

Topping techinque: 4 main colas
I'm approaching topping for the first time. The aim is to get 4 main colas, without FIM. The intention is to cut at the 3rd node (cut C) in order to develop the branches of nodes 2 and 3 as main ones. Does this make sense? Has anyone already had any experience with this?

I have a full tent of plants with level trained canopies. I couldn't get Banana Purple Punch B to bend at the top, so I just tied down the side branches. However, I'm afraid of her growing taller than the rest of the canopy. Should I top her?

EXTREME topping :P
How many nodes have you cut off of a photo before? I plan to grow my Gorilla Glue and Gelato together till harvest, yoink the Gorilla Glue, flip the Gelato to flower. I'd like an idea just how extreme I can go with my next "topping" to keep this plant as small as possible.

When to start 12/12
Hi people. My plants are on vegetation day 26 and are 8 inches tall. My tent setup can give them room for 15 more inches for a total of 23 inches height from soil to top. So, when do you think I should start 12/12 to maximize the plants height and yield? Thanks.

Topping at two weeks?
I wonder what the effect of topping so early will have? Week two is pretty unconventional, with most preferring 3-5 weeks. She seems pretty happy though. Hopefully this will give maximum uninterrupted ( minus of course the LST ) veg time now.

GDP2 "Retopping"?
So... is it normal for the plants to "retop" themselves? I topped GDP2 like 3 days ago and now it looks as though what I cut off is growing back again. Should I top it again in the same spot?

Should i do LST or not ? Or maybe LST one Plant, let one grow natural ?
this is my third ever grow, and i was wondering if its worthy letting a plant grow natural, So far my two first plants i have done LST on, will the yield be impacted a lot when its being grown natural ? What do you think, should i give letting it grow natural a chance or do LST ?
