Fimming vs topping what is best

[Valenjulio]

Let’s have a friendly debate. What is better to do for extra cola growth. Fimming or topping, and why you think it is best to do your decision.

I've tried both.. and typically I don't think either is better...just techniques to shape your plant.. fim lets side branches catch up and my plants don't stall as much

+1 I use both just depends on situation and strain

Not even going to lie I popped a seed yesterday with the paper towel method. Getting a little impatient. How long should it take to germ in pepper towel ?

No idea...you can probably search for it on here...i pop mine into soil.

How long does it take in the soil ? This is only my second grow ever so the first time I used paper towel and it popped the next day lol hopefully greenpoint seeds didn’t send me duds

I mean duds happen..i've had 2 or 3 out of 2 dozen be duds. But should be typically sprouted in 3-7 days.

Well I bough 12 seeds so hopefully I get a germ soon. I mean like I said it’s only been like a bit over 24 hours. I’ll leave them be and worry if it takes over 72 hours . I did put them both in a cup of water and one sank the other floated

Yeah I soak and plant I used to do the coffee filter thing and anywhere from 3 - 7 days temps and humidy are important when using the towel - lightly damp folded over and slide in a baggie now it need to be warm some use heat mats - my cable box was perfect - straight to dirt is easier in my opinion

With the soak to soil method how long until you see the bean sprouting ? And do u leave it in the dark or use light to help it ?
