Greetings everyone,
This is my first post on rollitup. I've had four successful grows before, but they were all Autoflowers. I did not perform any training whatsoever on them but did defoliate. pH adjust, and use nutrients. After a long growing hiatus, I lucked out one day recently and found a developed bagseed in a quarter of really potent Wonka Bars I got from a dispensary. I decided to try cultivating the strain in my grow tent.The seed popped the soil on August 21st, 2020 after being planted for only two days. I named her Wilma because Willie is a guy's name. Unfortunately, I tried to do LST for the first time ever last Wednesday October 6th, 2020 and it did not go well. At that point, the plant was only two weeks old. I lost half of the leaves. Thankfully, it seems to have recovered quite well.
Today October 11th, 2020, I thought about trying topping after reading about it. But, I also read that FIMing is less risky for younger plants. Considering my plant is pretty small right now, and already went through trials from the botched LST attempt, I thought FIMing would be a safer bet. Now that I have (hopefully) done it, I was wondering if someone could please analyze the attached photos to help me determine:
1) Whether or not I FIMed correctly
2) Whether or not I FIMed at an appropriate time (not too early)
I am open to any advice or suggestions anyone might have for me. This is my first time trying Photoperiod cannabis. The goal is to test out new techniques, so I might also look into purchasing a SCROG net.
Thanks everybody for your time.
