LED Newbie and Hello Circle of Life Friends

Okay heres some things i might need help with, top to get 2 then fim 2 to get 4 its the the next fim i cant visualize before i do it, so maybe thats why they call it FIM

 

[RootSpaGuru]

And training for 8 colas the math dont agree you get more than 8 why.

 

[OttawaGreen]

I just FIM from the start. Only time I "top" is when I want to clone a seedling - the top is my clone hehe

 

[OttawaGreen]

Every time you FIM you get 2-5 nodes where the FIM was.

Thanks for the compliment pigeons. It is nice to help others. Before I came here I had no one to talk about growing with ;-)

 

[RootSpaGuru]

Just noticed OttawaGreen hey OG hehe, okay im thinking this, off with the head, makes a good T then FIM those and FIM the next, then during those 11 or so arms FIM some more and at about 7 to 9 weeks Flip to 12 and enjoy 34 to 43 donkey size colas..... Yea

 

[OttawaGreen]

Sounds like a plan. How many tops is best and how big they grow depends on a lot of things, but more is better to a point where they get too crowded. My plants have 30+ tops.

 

[RootSpaGuru]

Okay your the guy i want to talk to, if you mastered your technique , how many cuts to get 30.

Gotta take my son to daycare. But I'm still in this convo! Haha. Ive done a lot of topping and very little (actually no FIM) love the results but I have found so far that the Colas don't get much bigger than a pop can. Not that that's a bad thing. But I've seen them as big as an arm. OG, how's this possible?

 

[OttawaGreen]

I have never counted them, I just do whatever branches are tallest, helps keep canopy flat. I stop when plant has lots of tops.
Check my journal for pics

 

[RootSpaGuru]

Okay thanks really , talk to you soon

[OttawaGreen]

Not sure man. Never had any that big unless I went single cola back In the day. Which is better: single cola with 3 oz monster and one oz small buds or 30 tops with medium colas making 8oz?

 

[Pigeons420]

I'll take 30 colas and 8oz.

 

[OttawaGreen]

Then start FIMing

Here's one of my 8 oz Choco under two 260w led panels

Not the best pic but that is one plant 2 feet x 2 feet

Hey guys the admin just emailed me about outside picture posting , was nice about it so some of the pictures are offline for a bit, think he said he would fix it and i figured with the advanced editor i now know how to post pictures from within this forum without hotlinking them into the forum. Was really cool about it guess it happens alot.

 

[OttawaGreen]

They have a lot of rules here but nice people. I do wish there were less rules though.

 

[RootSpaGuru]

I still need some help here, how do you get pictures in the threads, i was posting my pictures on my hosting site and hotlinking them into the threads, the admin say thats a no no so i look to the editor options and theres a picture when i press it , it says enter url, whats the url... If i upload a picture here, where is the url of that picture to place in the code..

 

[RootSpaGuru]

I FIGURED IT OUT....,

 

[Pigeons420]
