What is Topping and Fimming By intlcannabiscorp.com


INTRODUCTION Topping is a horticulture technique in which the top part of a plant is c ut to stop its upward growth and promote lateral growth in the lower b ranches. You may find it awkward to cut off and throw away part of your canna bis plant. Topping is an essential step to keep your plants healthy an d getting quality leads. You should use this for Cannabis Production .


Why Is Cannabis Topping Important?

Topping is very important during the vegetative cycle as i t helps to redistribute the growth hormones. Topping and fimming will develop an even canopy as the hormones w hich are responsible for the growth are distributed to all d eveloping colas and stalks.


CONTINUED... If the cannabis plant is left to grow on its own, then it will grow vertica lly and will focus its energy on one main stalk. You will get one long-d ominant cola which will have smaller stalks surrounding it. Further, th ese smaller stalks will produce small, and larfy buds that will not be a s great and the overall quantity and yield of the plant will also be sma ll. Through topping, the cannabis plant will get bushier as cutting off t he main stalk will redirect the plant energies to smaller side branches which will grow out.


CONTINUED... After some time, these side branches will also get toppe d that will create more side branches. This will make the plant bush out even more. Doing this will also create sev eral bud sites on branches and increase your yields. On topping the plant several times, you will observe that it wi ll create more branches and make the shape of the plant bushier.


Topping vs. Fimming: Topping is a tried and true method which is preferred by outdoor and large co mmercial farmers for Marijuana Production. Many growers often top a plant s everal times to get a large bushy structure. These topped plants are known t o be more stable and also have a stronger branch structure. Due to this, it re quires less support than plants trained with fimming. On the other hand, fimming works best for people who have small spaces an d those who want to maximize their yields. The plants which are fimmed will need structural support, so you need to take extra care in trellising the garde n.


CONTINUED... By using the above techniques, you will notice a substan tial increase in the yield. If you are not sure about the me thods, you can try both of these and see what works best for you. Growing is a continuous learning experiment an d cannabis plants are known to be resilient. This makes t hings important for you to try different methods and tech niques and learn from mistakes.
