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 π±

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 Error
I made a topping by mistake today. I broke while checking the plant :(( I cut too much from the bottom and also cut a fan leaf. Do you think there is a problem? In this case, is fertilizer given?

Cloning AK420 Outdoor
So.... never cloned a plant (first three plants in soil, germinated from seed) and would like to try and clone this baby. Are there good video guides to cloning outdoor plants in vegetative state? Ordered Ed Rosenthal's mammoth book, but it'll likely arrive after flowering...

Topping Question: When Topping, tutorials state to wait til you have 4-6 nodes. Does this count the cotyledon leaves, or for that matter the first single serrated leaf? Where do you begin counting nodes? Thanks in advance!

Top or lst and when
Should i top her and if yes, when? She is a fotoperiod but a very fast one, and she is probably ready to harvest around the beginning of September. She is about 3,5 weeks old now so she doesn't have that much time to grow I think. Same for my other plant, that us an auto.or lst?

Trim "armpit" branches?
Growing mainline and wondering about trimming the new branches so bud growth is focused on main stalks. My last round I had one plant that I didn't trim at all-not a fun harvest. Other plants I kinda trimmed and went well. Should I get rid of them all? See last photo week 12.

Mainlining or Topping? Hey everyone, my Frisian Dew plants are in week 3, and Iβm unsure if itβs too early, too late, or just the right time for mainlining. I have no experience with this technique yet. Should I just top them instead? Any advice is appreciated! π

What is the risk to apply HS training(Topping Defoliation) to the strain for which LST/SCRoG is recommended?
I am growing Auto Black Opium(Divine Seeds). The description says SCROG and LST work good. I started bending it recently and did 1 time topping earlier. I feel I need to do some defoliation, but it will be 2nd HS technique, which contradicts the recommendations. Should I?

Growing clones in same tent
Newbie here. Got 4 small clones took during week n.3. Can I grow them in the same tent, same period as the mothers are supposed to? I'd planned to switch to flo stage in 5 data and clones are still weak and 4 cmq tall. Do I have to setup a second tent? Mandatory? Thanks
