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!

malus69 Reviewed by malus69 on . Top my plant ? Or leave alone ? My plant is getting on for two weeks old now and about 10-12 inche's in hight but not very bushy , But has a lot of new growth in the middle and bottem that are very small , so i thought they may not be getting enogh light?? And i've read about toping your plant for extra bush , Im growing in a 1200x1200x2000 grow tent that has alot of head room , But i only have one light , so what do you think that would work best form me to get more bud?? I will post pic's of pic's soon as !! Cheers Rating: 5
