When to start Training after transplanting

[firefreak]

I transplanted 2 clones into 18 gallons of Happy Farms and regular potting soil mix 3 days ago. How long should I wait before topping?

My metod is based on a stupidity but the results are quite good.
After i transplant my clones to new pot i w8 for 1 extra layer of growth so i know that the roots are intergrated firmly in new soil. After that you can torture them.
I wish you a happy grow

Okie dokie. My plants have been topped and fimmed. As I am a first time grower, I am worried about taking off too much. I'll attach pictures. What are your opinions?

I love the choice of words

I see you topped it. Once that branches out and makes the 'Y' you can move the light back a little bit so those two new branches stretch. Once they stretch, you can tie them down.

Fabulous. I will update. Thank you!

The topping and fimming I did didn't seem to slow growth whatsoever. I've seen people do more defoliation on lower parts of their plants. Is this something y'all suggest?

You can strip below your canopy just before you flick them, but at this stage I wouldn’t take any more than you have :)
