 | cut above a node. this will stop your main branch, and will allow the others to become more of a canopy, rather than cristmas tree like. same as lst basically. just snip off the very top new growth. like between the newest leaves and the last set. right on the stem. try not to nip any thing else. (its like playing doctor). or you might pull off a fuck i missed. | ||

If you're going to root the top, make sure it will be long enough after the cut.  | |||

| This might help. It shows you where to cut for topping and fimming. But don't worry too much about where you cut, it'll work no matter.  G

| k so theres two cut spots. a fimm cut spot and a trimm cut spot...can you refresh my memory on fimm? is it bending or a style of cutting of the plant? and if i have fimm cut and get four tops instead of two, i would assume itd get thicker and less light and air will be able to penetrate deep in the plant, also raising humidity.also new four tops would grow slower than just two.....am i correct? which means id have to practice red flagging, a process i learned, where plants get to thick, you basically remove inner old leaves but then again id assume four main tops would be easier and better to train, as i can bend one in each direction and staking for support, allowing a very bushy n circular plant sorry i kinda went from a question to a whole nother one...been laborin in the heat all day which reminds me, anyone got tips for mosquitoes? they're gonna suck me dry | ||
