Ok thanks man, 5-7 nodes. I've been reading a bit about the FIM technique, yes but you can never get enough information. Got any advise for a brother? :) I've never done this before, last grow I just let them grow..

yea man simple stuff to be honst, use mh for veg til u want, 1 ft 5 ft watever hieght then switch to 12/12 with hps, hps has red specrum which simulates fall of summer, which triggers flowerin hormones to get more, better and compact buds, use ya nutrients, monitor ph , 5.5 for hydro 6-7 for soil, and plenty of air this all u need, and remember to properly dry and cure the bud, also get magnifying glass tio inspect thc development, half clear half amber should do the trick

I beleive the rule is if you cute off more than half your leaves your baby will die. If its too bushy for you or some leaves are blocking light from getting to other parts you can always bend branches. If you want to cut some off you can when its sturdier and bushier. Oh, n use clean scissors. If it is getting to tall you can bend the stem itself or top it which will give you two main stems.FIM or Fuck I Missed I beleive was some guy who tried to top n missed n got like 8 colas or something like that. I tried it once it didnt work for me i dont know but im gonna try it again the worst that can happen is you top it or nothing n just slow down growth vertically a little bit.:leaf:
