You guys are doing great FIMS. Keep up this kind of encouragement. I break, smash, twist, rip, gouge, bend... pretty much abuse the shit out of them.
I top as soon as plants reach 5th node of seed or clone height. Then I FIM the 6-8 new colas after that. When plant gets transplanted into Flower I cut off any branches on the bottom 12" or so and turn those into clones, then FIM all of those at that time.
When you cut your hedges, they always come back more bushy unless you cut into a main stem or branch. Keep that in mind.
BTW after hitting it with a FIM spray with some Nodosum Ascophyllum Brown Norwegian Sea Kelp for Cytokines and Hormones and 1 drop Superthrive for a little B vitamin and Amino, to help plants bounce back from any cuts.
