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

Okay, she’s compact with tight inter nodal spacing - I’m thinking of fluxing this lady! I’m nervous because I don’t want to stunt her, but feeling brave. Any advice or tips? I’ll consider mainlining instead!

Need some advice please. The pistols are 20 to 30 percent brownish. But the trichomes are still clear to cloudy, no amber. Almost a third of the pistols are still all white with clear trichomes. I want to get her to max THC. Should I let her keep growing?

Should I do defoliation ? Hulk Berry Auto - 5th Week Hi guys !

Should I cut off leaves or not?Hi everybody, I’m new here! I have a question: my “daiquiri lime auto” plant is now more or less at the third week of flowering phase, I thought that maybe some of the leaves down near the groung or the “useless” ones could be cutted off. What do you think? Thank u very much.

Ideally in soil one wants to flush for two weeks before harvest and one wants to harvest when trichomes are 50/50.. but, how do you know WHEN to start flushing? How do you know when the plant is "close" to that moment and does this speed up the color change of the trichomes? Ty!

Defoliating Autos Hi I am wondering what you experienced auto growers would do. I am starting to have stretch and a few preflowers showing. Would you defoliate, if so to what extent. Bottom 10”, upper fans, etc. On photos I would, but idk with autos and dont want to stunt them too much. Thanks
