I have a couple week old seedling that i want to try something new with it. I do not want to top it as that is the only thing I have done with plants before. It has sets of 5 leafs coming in now. Suggestions people?

What do you mean by growing it as a tree? And when should i supercrop?
Growing as a tree means not doing anything to it, just let it go straight up with no pinching, LST or supercropping.

When to supercrop? Depends on how much space you have to work with. I usually go with LST (low stress training) after pinching off the top. I only supercrop when my LST gets too aggressive and I accidentally supercrop!

Yea that is what i thought you meant. I am just going to let this one go as a tree than. I have a few more starting up aswell that I can try other things on. What is best to do, topping or fimming?

If they will all be under the same veg and flower lights, don't recommend doing one as tree and rest pinched off. The difference in canopy heights between the two will really cause problems.

Not sure there is a material difference between fimming and topping in my limited experience with fimming. I've only fimmed when I pinched off a little sloppily! Both excellent canopy management strategies that also release hormones to promote additional nodes.

You should repot it within the next week for one thing.

Other than that it's your plant, do with it what you want. Topping is no big deal, just because you have done it in the past does not mean it's not worth doing again. There are no magic tricks to increasing yield if that is what you are after.

Repot it and start lsting it as soon as it stats to grow again maybe scrog. No recovery time and you will love the results if you can deal with a longer veg
