Hi I would only top each of them once as your be limited on space, Overall will give you alot of top colas and fill out your space nicely, Best of luck bro ๐ฑ

I also thought that fimming is a good idea because then I would have 4 colas and I think I have enough space for it. What Is your opinion about that?

Topping at two weeks?
I wonder what the effect of topping so early will have? Week two is pretty unconventional, with most preferring 3-5 weeks. She seems pretty happy though. Hopefully this will give maximum uninterrupted ( minus of course the LST ) veg time now.

My question is concerning the use of LST, and it's correlation to longer than usual harvest times. It seems all the growers I follow whom train/defoliate their plants consistently harvest as much as 6 weeks later than what the breeder calls for. Any thoughts?

Training?
How exactly should I go about this plant when it comes to training? I've not grown a fem in a while and I'm just looking for a full canopy (or as full as possible). I know about topping, fimming and tieing down the branches, but is there some other/better techniques?

Cloning area lighting
I have a 4x4 tent that has 2 plants growing, and 1/4 of it I wanna create a little box that light cant get out if for clones to grow, and set an LED in there. If I take clones, set my main plants to flower, takes 4-6 weeks, how much light is needed for the clones to survive?

Prune everything below the top-most node?
So what do you guys reckon: should I prune everything below the top-most nodes one last time at the end of first week of flower to control the colas better? Rows of green on youtube does exactly that in his mainline series.

Monster cropping?
Unfortunately the first set of clones I cut did not take. So I decided to monster crop my curent grow. Has anyone here ever tried monster cropping? If so can you let me know what your results of your yields? I know they can get kind of crazy.

LST and Topping
I am starting to feed them nutrients and they are growing faster lately. I am considering starting LST and topping next week. LST when it reaches 4/5 nodes, and topping above the 5th node. Do you have any tips on how to perform this the best way ? Thank you in advance !

Which node is number 1
When counting nodes for the first topping, which node is number 1? The cotyledons? First single serrated leaf? 1st 3 fingered leaf? I'm counting pairs of leaves as those are where the nodes are, just not sure which to count as number 1. Personally, i say first 3 fingered leaf
