XLR8, I HIGHLY recommend you google "Uncle Bens Topping" and you'll see the thread. It's on another board, but well worth the read and there is a big difference. I'm not saying one is necessarily better than the other, just that they are different.
With UBT, you top at a specific point to get either two or four MAIN colas. You can top elsewhere to get multiple colas, but these end up being "secondary" colas that will not produce as much bud as the main cola.
FIM actually stands for "F*CK I Missed!" and it's similar to topping except when you top, you also cut through the node itself, or the new growth (I'm not as familliar with this technique). My understanding is that it has a similar effect to topping (NOT to UBT, but regular topping) but is also much less reliable in that it's tough to predict the results.
With UBT, if done correctly (and it's easy, if you can count the nodes!) you'll get either two or four (depending on where you top) primary colas every time.

Thanks for the great info - I'm familiar with fimming and topping, just some how missed out on the whole UBT thing... Is this a newer technique? How the heck did it sneak by me, lol?
Anyway, might be something I try future grows. Right now I'm seeing what I can do with LST. Thanks again for the info!
yeah man Its a bummer that you gatta keep em squeezed in a box. Im worried they will wanna stretch past the heigh limit... though you can always train them down. Are you going to perform any sort of SLTing or try Netting them down?
Keep up the Good Hustle, its a good example for everyone to see how to pull it off when there in a situation where they can't have their plants fully exposed in their living quarters. Like if I ended up in a dorm in the future, im definitely ganna pull up this grow journal & just have a really....tall....trunk with me. Haha. or something.
Are you supplementing with c02? If not dude you should look into making a mini yiest/sugar/h20 c02 generator-there simple and extremely inexpensive to make and operate.

I have not started any CO2 yet, but have looked into the DIY stuff and already have most of the parts set aside but still need to order the airlock & stopper. Problem is, I really don't have much room for it in the flower cab at this point, and I still need to work out some way to turn off ventillation when applying the CO2.
WnF,
That is a good solution, just requires me to locate the tank somewhere outside of the cabinet, which probably means the attick if I want to maintain stealth. At some point I will most likely jump into CO2, but probably gonna try to get thru a grow or two without it.
QUICK UPDATE:
I did my morning check on the girls. One of the branches on the AK had managed to grow its way into one of the CFL's and got a little burned on one of the leaves, but nothing bad at all and don't expect any negative effects except for the small brown spot on the leaf.
Also, little Lucy was starting to look like she was having a pretty bad N deficiency. The bottom couple of nodes have gone almost completely yellow. So, I mixed up a small amount of Clearex solution and did a "mini flush" on her mini-hempy and then replaced with a light nute solution.
Hopefully, she'll make a quick recovery, but she's so stunted, I'm not even sure what to do with her at this point.
I keep waiting to see if she'll have some growth spurt, but it hasn't happened. I think I'm gonna transplant her into a larger container this weekend, just in case, by some odd chance, she's rootbound in the solo cup and just small up top.
one of my smaller ones is doin the same thing, its got the very bottom nodes are turning yellow and i was wonderin the same thing, what to do to them, what is this clearex stuff ur talkin about?? plus i dont have any money at the moment to go out and buy anything so i gotta figure out somethin,,,other then that ur grow is lookin good, the 2 u got lst'ed look like their gonna do somethin serious, i cant wait to see the outcome of them!!!
