All right so I'm 49 days vegetative from a seed. My ladies are 18 inches and 12 inches tall and happy to be alive lol. I wanna hear some input on trimming. What do yall look for when you do. Where do you trim, and lastly what do i see to gain from each technique.

Simple, don't trim unless 50% of the leaf is dead or diseased. Trust me, you'll just end up screwing yourself if you start tweaking on pruning. You know that your plants are going to double, perhaps triple in height after you switch to 12/12, right?

how far down do i need to cut the top before going 12/12?

And do yall think 18 inches is high enough for veg?

If space permits. Go down say 2 nodes from the top, and cut off the big leafs from the next 3,4. This allows sun to get into those little tiny leafs at each node. They will grow out in to branches. X amount of weeks later you will have 5,6 big colas, as apposed to 1

Take into consideration whatever the maximum height your space will allow. Your plant will increse 2-3 times during flowering when you begin 12/12.
