When am I ready to start topping my plants?
Shagrathanswered grow question 4 years ago
Hi!
Usually topping is done when there is 5-6 nodes grown. If you have stunted growth and little bit struggling I would wait until she is growing helthy and strong and only then I would top her. Topping causes lots of stress to the plant and if she is already stressed it will take longer to heal from it. Topping a healthy plant will not stress nearly as much and she will bounce back much faster. If you are not in a hurry I suggest that you take your time with the girl and heal her good before topping! 👌

Don't top at all. Your first plant yes? she is already looking a bit behind.. Learn to water and feed nutrients and grow a healthy strong plant then do the training stuff later.. Your like 2-3 weeks away from when I'd consider topping. But she is really stunted. Sorry but true I can help you if you need more information. But yes this is your answer Your not ready to top this grow at all.

Can I clone and mainline that bit I topped?Hi guys, if I top my Amnesia, I mean, literally top them, Like straight cut at the 4th node, maybe? and leave the other 3/4 node above.. May I clone that topped bit? If so, since It should be growing like a normal plant as should be sprouting from the top, may I mainline that?

Light distance and when to top?I'm using a 300W LED. What distance should I keep the lights at now that I've transplanted and the plants are doing well? I'm thinking 24" and then move up as they grow until flipping. Also, when should I top? I've read that waiting for 6-8 nodes is the right way to go.

ToppingSorry - Another topping / training question: When is the best time to "Top" your plants in regards to time of the day, e.g. morning/midday/night in terms of light schedule?
In short: do you cuts your plants when the lights come on, before they go off, or somewhere in between?Week 4

New nodes after topping very small, should I top more?I topped my plants a few days ago, but just the tips when the side nodes where just as little as a few mm. I've seen a lot of you topping like a whole bunch of the top. I mainlined my plants but I dont know if I should top them again so the nodes under the top become main nodes.

Is it bad to top an autoflower at this stage?I accidentally broke off the top of the plant while attempting to low stress train and now it came like this, kinda like topping.. is it bad to stress the plant this much since it's an auto on week 5? Honestly I think it's a mutant as it has lots of growth but stayed quite small.

Outdoor Topping Limit?Hey Gromies! My outdoor girls still have till October to grow. They are in 10 gallon smart pots in the ground to combat the high temps here. I'm hoping to keep them under my fence line but I'm starting to think I'll need to top them all a second time. Will that be an issue?
