i have some 2 1/2 week old plants in vegg,what would happen?, if i topped em that early. sorry for the 2 posts of the same thing

From my understanding you need to cut atleast three nodes down, and it is a tremenous stress to the plant. Not sure a 2 1/2 week old plant would have much more than 3 nodes. And the little guy prob needs some time and strength before ya hack him.

But then again if these came from clones in the first place would prob be ok.

How do I prune to increase production?


I start by pruning a leaf from each node in a staircase pattern, as soon as the first 5 bladed leaf appears. This will stimulate lateral growth and open the plant to more light.

I top around the 4-5 node, using the FIM technique, leaving about 20% of the growth tip intact. Topping will create at least 2 new budding sites, and with proper use of the FIM technique I have had as many as 5, and have heard of as many as 8. Topping will allow bottom branches time to grow and catch up, making them closer to the lights.

With proper training and manipulation, you can get these giant plants to grow horizontal, effectivly reducing the overall height of your garden as much as 50%. This way you can lower the lights as close as possible to all budding sites. With many budding sites very close to the light, you will get a better yeild of grade "A" bud. As opposed to having smaller shaded buds trapped under an untrained canopy, which will never fully develop.

i did that the other day and where i topped, three grew back insted of two, and under were the next set of heads were growing. instead of two growing 4 were, i i never pul;;ed anything from that part of the plant, just the top.

how many nodes do you have?
what kind of light are you using?


in gardening, there is a general rule of NOT removing more than 1/3 of a plants mass at any one "pruning"
