I fimm if I do anything.....with autos I will likely do nothing. Not much time to recover, its a short time in the tent. But if you FIMM instead of TOP you get 4 main colas back....Not the 2 colas you get with a TOPPING.

To fimm you slice off 75% of the top.......Fimming is a great technique for photoperiod plants.

Yeah I know about fimming. Its actually a tad less stressful than topping. But definently another high stress training method that works if you do it right.

The 2 part MC is just a copy of Jack's 3-2-1. You would be fine without switching up nutrient lines. I've run MC 1 part and Jack's without issues. They are looking good. Keep up the good work.

Topping is a training method. Pinch the top off and it makes 2 main colas instead of 1 which can increase yield. Keeps the plant shorter also for indoor growing. I dont always top tho. Sometimes I just tie the branches down with LST only. Sometimes I'll top and LST. Plant training is done to increase yields.

ahh makes sense. I have tried the LST once but didnt do a really good job. I will try again on the next grow.

What is LST?

Low
Stress
Training

Meaning you would tie branches down so you have a shorter bushier plant. Can increase yields but can also decrease yields strain dependent. I LST for more colas and for a shorter plant if I have a sativa dominant strain. I LST on some purple nuggets and the 2nd one I grew i let her grow naturally. The natural grown plant of purple nuggets produced much more. So in that instance it dont make sense to LST on purple nuggets. But a strain that is large or xl will need training so it's best to train bigger plants.
