Well how the time flys! these guys are starting to take off. getting bigger every day!. I have two sets of pictures, we'll start with the older.

They are gaining their 5 leaves, and begining to grow shoots between the nodes. Im thinking about pinching my plants, but i don't know at what point is good. I've heard between 4th and 5th node, but im not sure which is concidered the first node.

Anyway, here are the pictures.

here is a side shot of one of my plants. I want to pinch the top, but is it too soon? i dont know, but here is the pic.

When you say pinch do you mean top/FIM?

[stone_sensation]

Cut it at the Red if you want to top, cut it at the green if you want to FIM. Now is the best time as you can top again when the new shoots grow :thumbsup: (BTW zoom in to see lol )

Hey thanks for the advice, i was concidering topping it...but now im not so sure.
By pinch i meant FIM, but upon further reading, i don't really want to do it now.
I've been thinking about what i could do....i have 3 plants, soon they will have to sex
Im guessing id get either 1, or 2 males, or 1 or 2 females :-). If i have one female im thinking topping woudl be great. if i have 2, i was concidering LST.

But i would have to LST now, so i think i might just top

or maybe roll the dice and top 2.

i was also thinking of doing a later top, (longer veg) and trying to flower it to get sex. Anybody ever try this?

Why not a combination of FIM and LST. You could even try scroging because the screen helps keep bud sites in formation and you get more efficient use of your space, just an idea.

Scroging?

LST is easier on the plant while topping will slow growth for a week or so, i say LST as it almost the same as topping its less stressful to the plant....think of the plants man.
