Topping or Pinching as I call it, same difference so doesn't matter which you call it, well it's easy anyway

Just be carefull you don't take anything off the two diagonal shoots that will form the two new main stems. I always just pinch off the new growth at the very top with my fingernails, but if you're not used to doing it I can reccomend a pair of small sharp nail sisscors.

How long before you can go 12/12 after pinching ? ............ that really is up to you, I usually wait about 4-5 days before inducing flowering.

How much will it increase the yeild ? ................. well it doesn't double it or anything like that, but it is worth doing



I'll add a couple of pics. The first shows a fresh pinch and the second shows how it looks a few days afterwards.

Iâ??m really amazed on how some of you take the time to help fellow growers.

You donâ??t have to do it but you do it anyways. So in return, I promise Iâ??ll try and do the same and share the knowledge Iâ??ve gained from all your help.

Thank you so much.

I have grown DJ Short's Blueberry for a couple years straight. It was an excellent tasting and potent smoke but yeild was small to medium. If I didn't top it she would yeild terribly small. With clipping and FIM I was able to increase the yeild considerably. I usually vegged for 5 weeks and budding time was only seven weeks. I usually got consistantly 2 to 3 ounces each plant. To put that in perspective, my AK47 strain done the same way yeilds me 6 to 8 ounces. Hope this helps.
