it's actually already a bit late to do the topping for an auto, usually you want to clip it a bit early like in week 2, i would suggest simple pinching or a FIM if you want to promote latteral growth. Hope this helps ! 🚀

Did I cut too little in the FIM pruning? I'm attaching two photos, one right after the cut and another from the next day. Days 24 and 25 of the plant's life.

End of leaves turning yellow after fimming (not so bad)
Hello guys, see the last picture, after my fimming, do you know if it's normal if the end of the leaves are turning yellow ? Or it is some stress ? (It's an auto) Thanks in advance ! 😀

11-15 cm, too small for fimming ?
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 !

Any outdoor auto growers out there? What do you recommend for increasing yield? Topping? FIMing? Go au naturale/nothing? Still a couple of weeks before flowering stage.

Fimming gone wrong?
Did my Fimming attempt go wrong? I fimmed my plant 5 days ago but for me it seems that it just grows normal, may i've cut too little? should i try again? or should i give it a few more days to finally see the results? Last pic is 5 days ago right after fimming.

To LST or not to LST?
I have 2 healthy Automaria II, paradise seeds, 3 weeks after germination and 16 cm tall, on the balcony and I am tempted to bend one of them and practice some LST of FIMming to see the difference. I don’t know.. I don’t want to risk the final harvest quantity.. Any advise?

Topping o no hacer nada a esta fotodependiente
I'm debating whether to do Topping or not do anything at all. It's 24 days old. It started in a 3-liter pot and was moved to a 15-liter pot on day 22. It's at the sixth growth node.

Когда делать ФИМ подрезку
Hello. Can you tell me when to do FIM trimming for a photoperiod plant white sibirian? It's 12 days old, can I trim it already or should I wait until it shows its sex? These are feminized seeds. It's growing like a monster!

Did I FIM it right? Strawberry Gorilla strain.
Is this FIMed correctly? It's my first time topping or FIMing. I chose to FIM as I've read it can be less stressful on plants. So I'm wondering if I did it correctly. Just after the 4th node. The little pieces sticking out aren't part of the top. Thanks much.

Topping o fiming
I want to try topping this plant. It's my very first time, but since I have a grow box that's 140 cm tall, I have to do it. Any advice? How many nodes should I let grow out before cutting?
