Generally you top at the 3rd or 5th but it's really a personal choice. I've always topped at the 3rd but that's how I was taught all those years ago . Good luck with your grow.

Topping during Flowering: good or bad?Does topping “fast growing” colas during flowering (for light purposes) help or hinder flower dev and/or harvest?
Or should I sacrifice tallest ones to possible bleaching?

Wann und wie mit LST anfangen?Meine Pflanzen befinden sich jetzt in Woche 3 und ich möchte das sie nicht hoch sondern buschig wachsen.
Ich habe Pflanzenklammern die 90Grad biegen können hier.
Ist die schon bereit? Oder wäre eher Topping die bessere Variante?Techniques. LST

To top or not to top (Again...would be 2nd time).Should I top 1 more time? I have (Example pic) 4 good nodes at the end of the 2 main branches. Should I top these to allow the ones mid branch to pick up and boost or should I leave them now and just flip in a week or 2? Think they're near end of veg as not putting on any height!Week 5

Removing popcorn buds and small bottom branches/flowers on Week10Hi guys,
Day66 with my autoflower, 3 more weeks to go before harvest.
This is my 1st grow so I didn’t do too much besides LST. No topping, no fimming etc.
Is it safe to remove the popcorn buds from the bottom and some small branches that don t reach light? Will this hurt her?
