here is what you can do how tal is your plant if you have over 2 nodes at the very top of the plant at the newest growth cut it off its called topping and in turn the plant will grow two shoots or you can cut it in half to fim it fimming a plant is harder it gets you 4 colas tho fim stands for f**ck i missed meaning topping lol ill post some links for ya

The guide linked above is very solid, you should be able to get plenty of info there. A cola is considered a branch/cluster of buds. The main cola is thus the top cluster on the main stem, also the largest on the plant. I prefer 4 main cola's to 1. It helps keep a shorter canopy/plant height, and better light absorption thus at the bottom levels of the plant. I find I get much more consistent and uniform results from topping as compared to the FIM method. Keep in mind, creating 2-4 main cola's is best used for plants that have been vegged awhile. Its kinda pointless to do with shorter plants that go straight to 12/12. Hope this helps!
