hi, things are looking good mate, the earlier you top and fim the better, i think i left it to late, but still done it so will need to veg the plants out more to benefit from it,
now your plants are looking like mine, very slow stretch and loads of other growth, ie new branches growing at nodes etc, i had to raise my lights 2 days ago to get my plants to stretch as they got to 7 inches and stopped growing and only the lower branches was growing and had caught up with the top of the plant, what i think happend is i had the lights withing an inch of the top of the plant and the plant didnt need to stretch to reach the light, what made me come to this conclusion was that i had got new sprouts in small pots and these where stretching as they was further from the lights, now i have raised my lights to about 8 inches above the plants and im getting more stretch, now im hoping by stopping the stretch early on and allowing the lower branches to catch up with the top of the plant i have made the plants grow as if they had more than one main stem, so i have tied down the side branches and ran them strait out horizontel and now all the new shoots along these branches are now stretching up towards the lights, so im hoping this is going to increase yield as my plants will have loads of growth and new shoots and should give me loads of big buds instead of 1 or 2 main shoots, thats what im hoping anyway, its as if cfls slow down stretch loads, the plants where still growing quick but the growth was lower down the plant, i think having the lights that close prevented any stretch at all.
thats just my oppinion and what i have noticed with my plants
