I would definately trim the lower 1/3 of the plant off to give the plant better growth. If you choose to FIM then let us know if you kneed more help with how to do it.

Ok. Yea i will trim the lower branches, but how should i go about doing this? Should i pluck each leaf off the branches or just snip the branch off entirely?

Just trim the whole branch off with some sharp scissors but only the lower 1/3 of the plant.

I plucked a few more leaves and tied branches down to let the other bud sites grow bigger and i will flower in about 2 weeks. Im not so sure about topping or Fiming anymore

Ok This is the last week of vegetation for me. This weekend i want to go ahead and buy my flowering cfls and put this plant on the 12/12 cycle.

This weekend i will go and buy a couple (2, 2 packs) of 2700K soft white cfl's along with my42 watt cfl.


Can anyone reccommend a good food for the flowering phase?

there are so many nutes out there and i couldnt tell you whats available in your location. if you live in the states i hear anything foxfarm is good.

I live in canada and I have used the Supernatural products before. they work well.

just go to your local hydroponics store and as them what would be good. i tell the guys at mine what im doing and they usually help you out alot. you dont have to tell them who you are or where you live. just what you are doing. then they can help you properly.

home depot is horrible for nutes. you need to find an actual hydroponics store. they will know what they are talking about.

and yeah i just basically say " hey m growing something and need some serious help but its not exactly legal"

and then they just ask what im doing. they dont care, they just want a happy customer whos going to come back and buy more expensive shit from them!
