regarding the above posted pics:
1 has only been tied, not topping or fimming
1 has been fimmed
the rest were topped
the topped plants have all developed two min shoots at the top plus a third from lower on the stalk due to lst.
the fimmed plant has 3 main shoots at the top plus 2 shooting from the base of the stem.
I am using SCROG principals in my lst process.
Comments, suggestions are encouraged. Thanks.
