Topping early at the third node

GoodGreenGrassstarted grow question 5y ago

Hi. I have topped two plants above the third node but I don't intend to main-line them. They both had developed four mature nods. Was I too early to top and I cut at the wrong node? Can they develop enough branches to Scrog a 70x70cm grow? They kept growing after the topping

Don’t worry, they will grow and give many branches, but maybe it will take a little longer.

Top her a second time?Do you think I should top her a second time, or is one cut enough? Should I consider flipping to 12/12 soon? I don't want to fill the outer squares of the net and give her some space. Thank you very much :)

Flower trimming I've got several lower branches that aren't stretching high enough to get any good light, at what point during flower is it ok to get out the scissors? I think I might need to do a lil leaf trimming in the lower canopy as well. Could/should this be done at the same time? Thanks

Deep water culture trellis training? Practical?What do y'all think about a DWC with a trellis? When I started this grow I had planned to make a screen of green, but I'm not sure how practice that would be for water changes. Is it practical enough to do this method and just use a water pump for water changes?

My girls are 23 days old today! Roots have bust through my 20 litre smart pots. I'm staggered by the speed of them. I do however have a question for seasoned growers..... I have quite a lot of alge/green growth on the smart pots. Is this going to cause me a problem?
