    TOPPING FIMMING CLONES (Alternating, asymmetrical nodes)

    Can I still top/fim my clones even thought their nodes are alternating and asymmetrical? If so, will the growth only be 2 new branches from topping or can you make 4 out of the FIM cut?

    Is it too late to top the plant? Northern Lights x Ruderalis Auto

    This is my first grow, Northern Lights x Ruderalis (Auto). (Seedsman) The plant sprouted about 27 days ago, and height-wise it looks like it won't be long until it starts flowering. (Life cycle is about 2 months) Is it safe to top them still? Or would that be stupid?
