Long time grower, least 10 years now and have always been pretty traditional and I guess wasteful. My plants before I never topped or tied down, just typical light cropping and let the plant do it's thing. I'd grow 15 plants under 2 1000w HPS and barely get a pound and then be super jealous when I see pics/vids online. I have no arms and do all this with my feet. I get help to fill soil and heavy lifting but all plant management I do myself.
From the pics, do I even need to do any topping or fimming? Thinking of fimming them. I think they are pretty bushy for only about 12" some are around 8". They are all clones from 2 mothers, 8 in the back are Bubblegum and the 7 in front are Cannatonic.
The pic below is the top of a Cannatonic mother after already taking a top off, I cut the top off the mother for a clone but was still too tall so took the top off again which was only 1 node without a top and thought I might as well clone that 1 too, the plant is a mutant now, hope it's stems can grow thicker cause it looks more like a vine plant than a weed plant. Any advice with this one? Never quite seen a pot plant like this, not sure how it will do flowering, my guess it'll just grow a bunch of small buds, wish the weather wasn't winter, be a good one to put outside and let nature mature it.
My setup has 2x 1000w LED's, (replaced 2x 1000w HPS with LED's about 9 days ago. Was only using 1 of the HPS to veg tho) 1 is over the clones, the other is higher up above 2 mothers to the left. lights on 24/7. Going to have to put a heater in there once I flower, winter is coming. Dirt grow, water every other day, Only use nuets every other water. Will be transplanting them to bigger pots next week hopefully, need a lot of dirt. This is about 1 month in to veg, will probably let them veg for another 2-3 weeks. Any advice is always welcome.
