To Top or not to Top....

Thanks mike and cockbag,

Sometimes the best way to learn is to get the plant first and be forced into cultivation head first. I'd TOP her if she was from clone, or FIM her if she is from seed. There are a ton of great How To videos on Topping/Fimming on youtube. And the choice on the foil is up to you, but I can promise you it does little to nothing for increasing your lumen reflection for the girl :/. Sorry man, in my time growing I've learned hard that your DIY dreams will be crushed over and over in cultivating. Haha

Also, with what Lime said, I'd agree that topping/fimming might not be totally necessary right now, but the increased auxins in the lateral branches will only help her recover into a fat, bushy plant. Oh and if I haven't said it yet, sorry... but stop spraying her so often, especially without nutrients mixed in. If you are having very soft leaves than your humidity might be off, which might be a result of foliar spraying too often with too weak of a lighting system. The plants like to be sprayed, but overdoing it can over-drench their stomas.

Im no expert but I'd agree with lime73 LST is an amazing method, if you wish id also recommend FIM at some point alongside LST. Both methods together, you can expect a very very bushy bushy and it isnt a sexual innuendo lol

be careful if FIMing a cloned plant, their internodal spacing and rigidity may make it difficult to hold itself up properly because its branching points are not all symmetrical and may throw off the shape/sturdiness of the plant.
