Ok been going strong everything is going well it has 3 lots of leaves on it now and the 4 has already sprung into action am I right in saying I can start fimming and topping? It's an indica so it's very short and bushy still but I have no height and more width in my stealth Grow so what would you guys advise? I was gunna fim then top then fim etc I'm trying to get this plant as wide as possible!!

i was told to wait till the 4th set of nodes leaves. I think fim has less stress from the research topping can stop your plant for 2 weeks sometimes. remember sterilize your cutting tool each time you do a new plant.

Leave and peace

I understand... Someone correct me if I'm wrong, But Fiming will give you more lower growth. I did both on my last plant

top will produce 2 new branches. fim can produce up to 6 ive seen 7 1 time. fim you leave 1/3 of it and top you cut it all of. yes when you top/fim the under branches compete to be new top so it gets bushier.
