TOP ? LST ? or wait ?
pitbulletstarted grow question 4y ago
My first grow.
This is W3-D18. I don't want her to grow tall cause it's on a 1 meter tall room.
Should I top it now ? just LST ? or still wait ?
I'll post a picture of the stem and the leaves.

You usually want at least 5 nodes running up the main stem before topping. Topping will give you two tops instead of one, slow down the upper progression on the main stem and spread the growth hormones to the lateral branches making the plant bushier. If your strain is a strain that is known for getting tall then topping would be a good option.

Some people say top around the 3rd to 4th node and others say to wait till the 5th and 6th. Yours looks like it's ready to be topped. After doing so and waiting a week I would start to lst

My photoperiodic Royal Highness (from RQS) was set to 20/4 hours per day for five weeks.
Two days ago I switched to 12/12 hours.
But the flowering is already very pronounced!
Can a photoperiod plant flower so heavily after two days of 12/12?
Or has a false seed crept in?

Dark shiny leaves, Clawing towards the ends. Is this a sign of N toxicity?Hello, I am a first time grower. I have plants going in Fox Farm Happy Frog soil with 4-4-4 Gaia greens dry amendments. I believe the soil is too “hot” and wanted to get your guys thoughts if you agree and if so, what to do. I water every 2-3 days using the knuckle test. Thanks!

Internode Spacing?Still pretty new to all this and only so much info I can Find online about internode spacing. I’m aware that this is very dependent on strain, genetics and phenotypes but just curious for some feedback, how does my internode spacing look now about 2 weeks into flowering?

Will this tape repair a broken stem?Should I re-wrap this broken stem? Bent with too much pressure and there was a snap, though not completely severed. I applied two or three layers of duct tape, not sure if the constant pull of ties will allow it to heal and repair. When should I take the tape off?

ScrOG tucking: expose lower smaller bud sites by tucking/compacting main cola branches?For a better yield, should I aggressively (but gently) bend main leading branches and tuck all shading fans to expose young 'undergrowth' branches (circled) and bud sites to light, or, inversely, untuck fans and straighten leading branches to give more light energy to them?

Benefits of FIMing vs Topping? Specific example.First grow. Looking at FIM results I'm super confused!
It looks like if I had waited for the next segment to emerge and topped it (pics), I would get the same 4 branches (potential colas) AND 4 fan leaves which I have lost now due to FIM?
Did FIM benefit here at all vs Topping?

How tall will they grow to be?How tall will these outdoor untrained, soil based photoperiod plants grow to be (best rough guess)?
I believe they're a sativa-dominant Sour strain (either Ultra Sour or S.A.G.E and Sour bag-seed).
Currently over 1 meter tall from soil at 60 days old in 7 Gallon pot.
