Hey posted under Newbie and general marjuana growing, but not much action. My plants are 18 days into veg from clones. Some clones (quarazytran) are short and squatty with plenty of tops. The powerkush are longer christmas tree types. Too late to "top' the plant as this is usually done when clone has 5 to 6 internodes and you take it off at the true 2nd, for additional tops.
I have 15 of them in a 4x8 tent with 2 600 watt hids, they are getting bushy and crowded..so should flup soon.
Questions are:
If I FIM now, should I give more veg time before flipping, in order to develop those additional sights?
For the short squatties, with several tops, should I even bother Fimming them?
Also, supposed to keep the bottom third of plant bare, to keep everything focused up top, however had multiple branches at the base that are quite thick.
Is it too late 18 days into VEG to prune off the bottom third of plant?
Thanks anyone!!!!
