hey GG84, good to see you are still alive and kickin'. I figured you were still out there lurking, so no worries. And it turns out that all these questions I have, I tend to figure out as part of the learning process.

Things are going very well here. It's amazing to see the new growth everytime I check. Weekends are the hardest for me because I am so eager to see changes but when I am sitting here all day all I want to do is watch them. I find it's best to just let them do what they need to do.

So I have a couple questions, pertaining to pinching mostly:

Can someone explain the process of pinching verses FIMing? Or even a link to a noob thread would be great. I have attempted to research these on here and there is a lot of good information, but I am finding it difficult to find the EXACT process. At the moment I am debating using the pinching since I have limited vertical space and I am not a huge fan of over-stressing the ladies. I am pretty confident I am going to use LST to get a max of bud sites, something like a SCROG or SOG. I guess we will have to wait and see.

Alright, I'll snap some pics today and post them. Oh and I need someone to check out this freak I have ... I thought I drowned it, it came up like 10 days later and now it has this strange brown spot on the top and it looks like the leaves are trying to come out of the middle? It looks like it was almost "topped" at birth maybe? Take a look and tell me what you think.

Thanks, stay safe everyone.
