2 strains
I've had good luck when I miss the topping and ended up with 3 mains of the top. Then other times the third node seems starved. In the later case I clip it off but if its growing good and fits the overall plan I would leave it be.

Did I top correctly...its my first time. Hope they recover I want to try to top a few times. Little less that 1/4 open sesame. I dropped the lights down to 2 ft.
UPDATE: 08-17-19
Bought silica blast (botanicare) because temperature difference between night and day is pretty big.....hot girl summer. Allows plants to withstand extreme temps and thicker stems and branches (takes up water and nutrients faster). I can wait to see if this is true and hope it makes my girls happy.
UPDATE: 08-19-19
Bought and sprayed organocide to my plants. No insects but a preventative measure. 20 ml in 1/4 gallon of water. Strong fish oil smell and make sure to spray plants right before lights off in order to prevent burning leaves.

Hi @GrowsGanjaGuy! How long can you wait until harvest? Each topping surgery will double the apical summits, but your plant will need a few days to recover and generate new nodes, so it's all about your patience, if you want 8 main colas you will need to top 4 times. Let me know in the comments section if you need any further information, and happy growing! 👊

Alright I am not sure what to do. The breeder suggests 60 days in flower and she is ready for harvest. But because of the thrips infestation I had, 1 girl seems to be stunted. Should I just wait longer than 60 days and hopefully they recover and fully mature?

@Stick, except when that third or fourth shoot is really stunted after a few weeks. Then it has to go

@@lilbp420, this is called "FIM", it stands for "F*** I'VE MISSED" and is basically the result of a failed topping surgery. That's a good thing! 😎

@MarsHydroLED, thanks. I've been interested in buying one of your lights maybe some time in the future with my new set up when i move into my new home up in oregon. I would definitely like to compare your light compared to other brand LEDs.

The little runt I'd hold of topping just bend and twist the branches to where you want them to go she has been slow since day one but could bounce back , my Moby Dick was the tiniest and then it took off one day but every plant is different ..I've seen a lot of people grow this strain and they can do well with training just exercise patience your the one who has control wait and see..good luck ..
