Bmollyanswered grow question 2 years ago Based on the information you have shared, I would recommend considering doing "topping" with your plant. Topping is a pruning technique that involves cutting the top part of the main stem to promote the growth of lateral branches.
Here are some benefits of doing topping:
Improved branching: By cutting the top of the plant, it stimulates the growth of new lateral branches. This helps create a broader and denser structure, which can result in a higher yield of buds during flowering.
Size control: Topping allows you to control the height and size of the plant. By encouraging lateral growth, it prevents the plant from stretching excessively upwards, which can be beneficial if you have space limitations in your cultivation area.
Increased light exposure: By generating more lateral branches, it creates a larger leaf surface area exposed to light. This optimizes the capture of light energy and promotes photosynthesis, which can lead to better plant development and bud production.
Remember that topping should be done with caution and at the right time. Generally, it is recommended to perform it during the early vegetative phase when the plant has at least 4-6 growth nodes.
Wishing you the best of luck with your plant and the topping process. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask.
Happy growing!
