Hello growmie, There are lot's of very good articles in the journal section, i took the time to pick out a few ones that will just give you different ideas (you can find the article about topping under high stress training - 1st link) High Stress Training (HST):
growdiaries.com/journal/how-to-do-high-stress-training-hst-on-cannabis
Low Stress Training (LST):
growdiaries.com/journal/how-to-do-low-stress-training-lst-on-cannabis-plants
The advantages of training:

Supercropping:

Benefits of Supercropping:

Mainlining:
growdiaries.com/journal/main-lining-cannabis-plants-to-increase-yields
Personally i would begin by topping the plant between 2nd and 3th node that way you will end up with 4 main branches. If you want 6 branches top between or 3th and 4th node. Good luck 🍀 mate ✌️

I would be tempted to leave her alone. Maybe a little LST.

One of my girls is showing signs of N tox so I'm going to drop nutrients for the next week and just feed plain PH'd water until a good runoff. My question is; during this week should I still be giving Bud Factor X, Big Bud, and Bud Candy? There isn't N in those.

I'm getting mixed messages related to RH and seedlings. Some people (and websites) say it should be between 45% to 60% during this stage but others say I should keep it over 60%. I know the roots are not very developed right now but.. what's the real number than I should aim for?

Transplanting by burrying fabric pot
Does anyone have experience with transplanting from a fabric pot to a bigger fabric pot, by just burrying the smaller pot in the bigger pot? How did it work out for you? Were the roots able to penetrate easily? Does it matter which fabric?

Did I FIM correctly?
Tried to FIM 2 days ago and now I'm wanting to know if it looks like I did it correctly. Couldn't get my camera to focus after many attempts, so the quality of the photo is bad.

To prune or not to prune?
Hello guys. A beginner question here. Should I prune these "inner" branches or should I let them grow? They are getting a lot of light but I don't know if it's worth letting them bloom. If I have to cut them when would be the best time? I'll leave this question open until Friday.

Re-vegging advice
I'm trying to stop my plants from flowering. They started to approx a week ago and I've increased the light period and decreased the resting to only a few hours a night. I'm wondering if it's best to cut the small buds forming or allow to continue.

Remove leaves from auto?
Should I remove fan leaves from my auto flower? I wonder since it is so crowded, I worry a bit that the leaves are pressing against the buds. But maybe that isn't a problem? I've read that removing leaves is unnecessary and stressful for the plant.

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

Guys I have a question about ppm. So only my last grow I always used ro water. My ppm was only as high as 500-600. Now does this mean as the plant gets bigger I have use non-ro water later on in order to get it up?? As long as my ph is good and nutrients are not too high why not?

When do I transplant?
When should i transplant this guy? If you ask me I’d do it at maybe week 3 but that’s just my guess. I think i’ll be putting him in the same 5 gallon fabric pot i have the other girls in.
