You won’t do that for a couple few more weeks. You’ll have to top her a couple few times first so she can branch out and fill out. Go watch some YouTube vids on topping and lst, while your at it look at lollipoping and super cropping. That will keep you busy and get you ready for when it’s time
I’m familiar with alot of them and I’ve read articles. Some site said you can start it early in the grow but I’m like…“now?”
If you’ve topped already, then you can start lst, but if not don’t. Wait till you top a couple times and you have good branches to tie down and go from there
I’m doing the generic hybrid grow. I was gonna do fiming because I didn’t want to extend the grow for real. I heard you could do LST without topping, is that true
Sure, but do you want any bud? If you don’t top you’ll limit yourself with regards bud sites. If you do top you’ll get lots of bud sites. Which would you prefer

Day 19, getting nice and leafy. Not sure when to start LST but it looks like it might need to be taller
Really nice
Yep for sure you have like 6-7 there. I think the top right now is the 7th but yep giver a snip!
Might be 8 I just zoomed in better but still yeah, each branch is a node. I usually do mine after my 5th or 6th set of leaves come in. Each set of leaves is a node essentially
Looks like 7 to me too. Top that puppy
So for next time just cut that part off that’s in between the leaves you’re holding. But honestly it should be fine like I said there was at least 7 nodes so she’ll be fine
Oh ok, I thought it was too early for the top node and it be more like fiming
Nah I think there’s sufficient top there to cut, I just would have pulled the leaf down a bit so you could get all of it in one cut. That or you could have waited a day for it to come up a little more. But either way it’s done! You may need to extend your veg a week now to account for her recovery
Idk, I did a bit of research and thought it was perfect. Topping vs FIMing Cannabis - Instruction Guide | Grow Weed Easy
Oh yeah I’m not saying what you did wasn’t, I just prefer to leave the leaves you cut cause they’re still new to the plant opposed to the bigger leaves that you could remove soon ish to let light in. Again all preference
Would every grow period benefit an extended vegetation period? To ensure to growth the full height of the box? (Not too close to the lights)
