8/11 Day 16 of veg. Growth has been explosive. Light adjusted to 275 PAR / 17.8 DLI.
8/14 Day 19 of veg. Light adjusted to 295 PAR / 19.1 DLI.
8/15 Day 20 of veg. She was firmly at 6 nodes established so I figured it was now or never on topping. I went for it and now she’s topped. If my timing is good she should have at least a few days or a week before flower kicks in so I think it will be fine.
Looking great! I usually top a node or two sooner, but I like the shape of yours - I'll have to try a node up next time, thanks for adding that info! Looks like a good layer of frost already - that's a good sign! Best of luck!
@Theopen, yeah I don't usually top like this either but it felt like the best way to fill the space up with tops instead of the smaller secondary branches. And with this being an auto I knew timing the topping would be really important. Looks like it all worked out though!
