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 ! 🚀

Suitable growing techniques What would you recommend: low stress training (such as bending, ScrOG) or high stress training (such as topping, fimming) for my strain? I read different things about it.

I FIMed in week 3, and everything seemed to go swimmingly. I don't know that there was any real slowing of growth. I was worried I had taken too much off. Week 4 comes around, and there is top growth like nothing ever happened. Any ideas?

Bigger leaves shading lower branches??As you can see in my last photos (DAY 28) plants are developing lower side branches. Should I get rid off the larger leaves which shade the lower branches? I already tried to bend down the larger leaves to make room for the lower branches. What do you suggest? Veg for 15 more day

Leaves. Too many

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.

Regarding Fimming?First time FIM for my baby but I’m not sure if I did it right ... There is a very tiny grow in the middle that I noticed today - the two picture are 30 hours apart - did I get it right or did I FFIM lol :p ? Also the plant is still pretty short - should I start LST?
