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.

I have a full tent of plants with level trained canopies. I couldn't get Banana Purple Punch B to bend at the top, so I just tied down the side branches. However, I'm afraid of her growing taller than the rest of the canopy. Should I top her?

Topping techinque: 4 main colas
I'm approaching topping for the first time. The aim is to get 4 main colas, without FIM. The intention is to cut at the 3rd node (cut C) in order to develop the branches of nodes 2 and 3 as main ones. Does this make sense? Has anyone already had any experience with this?

When is the absolute latest I can top a plant? I'd say I'm a week to 2 weeks maximum away from flowering on an outdoor grow.

Suitable growing techniques
What would you recommend: low stress training (such as bending, ScrOG) or high stress training (such as topping, fimming) for my strain? I read different things about it.

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?

Sorry - 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?

As you can see, one of my plants is a few inches taller than the others. They've all been topped 3 times for 8 mains, but I'm wondering whether I should top the big plant 1 more time in an effort to achieve a more uniform canopy height before flipping to 12-12.
