greetings friends,
Just starting a package of MNS SSH (oh boy, oh boy, like a kid 3 months before christmas) ... started in two waves, one about 15 days ago, the second 3 days later (long story why I did two batches, but they're close enough I think).
15/18 germ rate, ebb/flow hydro table, 600W HPS, about 5ft (1.5m?) of headroom available.
Anyway, I plan to flower, pull the males (no breeding plans here, only perpetual clone propogation selected genetic line), and cut clones from all females, then sort out what I want to keep after getting to know the pheno's I've got.
My question please: My old 'rule of thumb' is never to top until the 6th node, then let the plant recover for a week before going to 12/12.
That's always worked in the past, but I'm concerned that may be a little late for stretchy SSH phenos ... would you experience SSH indoor gardeners recommend an earlier topping? 3rd or 4th node? Or, do you recommend topping at all with seedlings?
thanks for sharing your experience,
rabbit
