After topping the original structure has finished so taking those off isn't a big deal, what will you do with the apical cuttings? Chop the side branches off?. I think you know the answer dude

question or two in one. When should I start pruning and when should I top? I have been seeing topping should be at 3rd node? Anyone tried that? And how about trimming the leaves up? Should I snip the first set, the two single true leaves? Wait a while longer?

Ok so I'm new. On disability so flat broke. What can I feed her? I changed to a big fat 400w bulb. After giving the roots a good chance to grow on an 18/6 schedule, I've topped the 6th node. Pruned the first 2 nodes off...were weak. I gave her 2 days to recover now 24 light

Too much foliage? Not too sure.Should I thin this out? The canopy is about 8" deep, so 4 layers of foliage. It looks like it's still a bit much. Should I wait for the stretch to finish up and then defoliate properly? Am I being overly analytical Just need to double check with the professionals. Thanks!

My tent size is 120x90 (3x4). I use 2x Mars hydro sp250, would you run each at full power (total 460w) or should I dimm them to a total power of 400w (or maybe something else)? *The question is what is the optimal power for the best results and not about a higher electric bill.*

Hi! I have two plants in same tent. One will be done 5-6 days before the other one. Someone mentioned shoebox... what would you say is the best way to dry the first plant if it has to be inside the tent while other plant is finishing up? Humidity/Temp only possible in tent for me
