If it's an auto, you should fim above the 4th node, pinching the 5th. If it's not an auto, you can do it whenever you want

With your plant in its current condition, I would not FIM. You want it to be healthy before considering stressing the plant. A weak plant is prone to more diseases and problems.

I would say they are ready for their first fim. If they recover quickly enough you may even get to do it one more time before they start to flower

Does tying down branches make a huge difference in quantity? Why wouldnt you perform LST? My plants are super bushy, at what point do they start to take off vertically? Thanks!

Another auto question. Once you commit to a light schedule will an auto be "shocked" should you go from maybe 24/0 to 20/4 or 18/6? Or vice versa.

Which pots to use? Considering the limited space here I could perhaps (A) put one of them in a 3 gallon pot and 2 in gallon pots but that might be a squeeze. (B) Each in a gallon pot and replant later into bigger pots when I move to my veg tent? I'm thinking A..what do you say?

Please take a quick look at my last few photos. One of the plants is flowering despite being on 20/4 light schedule. Can anyone advise what could cause this? Mabey I have a rogue auto in the tent.

Hi everyone hope you are doing well. Should I just trim some of the fan leaves so the nodes can get proper light or should I leave the leaves as is? I have noticed that I am working a bit rough with her and wondered if it would be kinder to just remove some of the extra foliage.

Concerning pH - I have seen a chart which shows how fluxuating your pH between 5.8 and 6.8 is helpful in releasing different nutrients. I have also seen most sites say that you should keep it as constant as possible say keep it @ 6. Does anyone have an opinion based on experience

This will be my first greenhouse and dry amendment grow with several indoors under my belt. My expected problems this grow are likely to be insect and disease pressures specific to greenhouses, along with temperature regulation (115+F last year), suggestions are always welcome!
