11-15 cm, too small for fimming ?
Maskedcucumberstarted grow question 3 years ago
So I overfed them last week and now they are quite small (chlorosis). Most of them have 4 to 5 nodes. Should I wait for them to be taller (25-30cm ?) and greener for fimming ? I'm aiming to lollypop them later, I don't have much width. Thx !

I would begin training now. 5 nodes is what I shoot for. You want established roots for better recover rates so if she has been sick at all I would wait till recovered growth rates. I veg longer than normal though but that’s my method. Happy growing!

Yes you can FIM them. Once you get some larger leaves and she is healthy you can FIM. The standard is wait for 4-5 nodes, But that is if you are going to remove all growth below which is a lot of energy producing leaves your removing. You can FIM the second node, but you will have a longer recovery then if you waited until the 4th or later.
Happy Growing

They look healthy enough. Like the cramped space.

They should be big enough to handle it and I don't really see any concerning issues. New growth is a lighter green than established growth. But at 4-6nodes the plant will bounce back

What happens to my autos ? Too much fertilizer ? Nutrient block ?First week I tried the devil and fertilized my autos as little as possible, knowing it was useless... Big mistake.
After that I could see signs of too much fertilizer, i.e. pointed leaves and since then, slow growth with very small leaves. What has happened?

Dark leaves and short/compact plant18 days from seedling. Dark and a bit rumpled/twisted leaves. Branches are coming out but they don't have much space to breathe from the big leaves. Started topping with some chicken manure pellets, too much nitrogen? Also, the 36W LED lamp is only 20 cm away.9 months ago

Northern Lights Auto, quite short and bushy, fan leaves shielding light - should I defoliate?First time grower with a quite short Northern Lights Auto in week 6. The fan leaves seem to shield a lot of light from the inner leaves, also touching ground. Should I trim the fan leaves? Or should I keep them, since it already seems stressed enough for it's short life…Plant. Too short

What do you guys think?It's my first grow (automatic, 6 weeks old) and compared to other plants, my plant looks a bit small/ridiculous. I give her 24/7 light (I read that on guides) is that maybe too much? What's your impression of her? I use two growlights (one from above and one from the side).Other. General questions

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?6 months ago
