You can start with the 'search forums' feature. Just type in some key words and gets to readin'!
You can fim or top at any moment, usually around the 3rd - 5th nodes, and more if you want later.
Google can help you on these matters aswell.

+1 to the above post. I top 5th or 6th cola, but always wait until at least the 3rd as xGrimace said. From there you can start LST(low stress training).

Sorry guys, but I already searched it, I found out info about where to cut, etc... But just wanted to meet some experienced grower who can suggest something! I found out that better to do it after it has at least 3 Colas, mine have 2 right now! Is it really is an to it after about 1,5-2 weeks after I started?
Thanks!

I would wait to the 5th node. Never top or fim your main cola(stem).... Always lay or tie her down first. The best strats is to wait to get 5-7 nodes then tie main cola down. The main cola will lose seniority and the side branches will begin springing... then you fim or top each side branch with shoots and youll end up with 14 main colas and over 133g depending on veg time....

Oh yea.... PATIENCE brings perfection as well as studying and research. The elders wont respond if you yourself arent expressing the right vigor and maturity.
Grow up..... The plant... :)

So it sounds like you asked a question you already had an answer to, in the form of your research, or didn't you trust your research?

That's interesting. What difference do you see by doing this over topping the main? When do you untie the main?

Ok ok cool... Listen i was surprised right..... I thought I topped my main and noticed that i didnt this is how i descovered that you dont have to top mains to produce more....
What will happen is the main untopped and laid down becomes a respected main cola though seniority was passed to the side branches. And she still grows and look at her strength...downloadfile-1.jpeg downloadfile-2.jpeg downloadfile.jpeg I appreciate you being genuine this is why im glad to give you this blessed strategy. :)
