I have recently started growing 9 plants and it's my first grow so I want to experiment in various aspects one of which is topping/pruning one of the 9 to see the difference at the end result. I have a few questions. How long do I have to wait till I top my plant? Is 5 nodes a minimum cause I read somewhere else (can't quote it since I don't remember where) that it was 3. Or maybe that was for FIM? And what is the difference (result not technique wise) in between topping and FIMing? Also after I do either, how long does the plant need to stay in vegetation to recover/develop new vegetation from the pruned area before it's ready to be switched to flowering?

Thanks!
