Early Vegetative Pruning

After
the tops come off, there's a window of opportunity to
get those second-story branches to reach up to the top
floor and stay there. After I've got the four main tops
at the same level (more or less) and the plant is
throwing growth shoots on those top branches, I'll FIM
those new shoots at the top. This creates a thick canopy
of bud sites at the top, and the secondary bud sites are
close to the top as well. I use this method for plants
that will finish flowering at about two & one-half
feet. Anything shorter, like in a clone, quick
turnaround garden, the FIMing should happen straight
away. FIM it early (fourth or fifth leaf set) to keep it
short. These seedlings were topped at the fourth node
(leaf set), and FIM'd later to gain height.

These are the NLs before boot

The results are in!

This is the result of all that pruning and
FIMing.

Each of those tops will be a nice, tight
Northern Lights bud.
