How am I doing so far?
I over watered them and I think I used too much nutrition. But they look to be recovering nicely!

Top her a second time?
Do you think I should top her a second time, or is one cut enough? Should I consider flipping to 12/12 soon? I don't want to fill the outer squares of the net and give her some space. Thank you very much :)

Risky cut?
Thinking of cutting the mimosa evo in half for bushier grow, to even out the canopy and to get an additional clone (experiment) thoughts? Shes currently roughly 25 cm tall (clone)

I kind of topped her a lot. I am a new grower. I appreciate suggestions and advice for bigger fatter more potent yields. I’m not there yet. Maybe I over fertilize?

First time topper
So as a newbie grower I will be trying to top my plant for the first time. The 6th node is developing and about ready to snip off. I was wondering if there is a proper time during day to do it? Does light schedule timing have any effect?

I have a short tent so the plants shouldn't grow higher than 70cm. What would you recommend to make sure it doesn't grow long? Maybe flowering early?

When is the absolute latest I can top a plant? I'd say I'm a week to 2 weeks maximum away from flowering on an outdoor grow.
