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 want to top my plants but am new to training. How does it work? Will my plants stop getting taller if I top? When should I top? If I did top now how many top sites would I have? The photo for this question is today (day 18) Thanks in advance.

Benefits of FIMing vs Topping? Specific example.
First grow. Looking at FIM results I'm super confused! It looks like if I had waited for the next segment to emerge and topped it (pics), I would get the same 4 branches (potential colas) AND 4 fan leaves which I have lost now due to FIM? Did FIM benefit here at all vs Topping?

autoflower top or no topping?
So since this is my first grow autoflowers is it still okay to top autoflowers or film them? I don't have much experience with the autoflowers.

My plant has gotten taller than the don't go past this line marker and was almost touching my light. I cut the top off by two nodes and am still 10" below the light. The other cola branches are @ 12" below light. I have four other COla branches should I trim them down to canopy?

autos growing too tall?
First time grower, 5 plants (autos) just over 5 weeks from germination in greenhouse (50-60cm in height), wondering if they are growing too tall and if it is too late to either top or carry out some low stress training at this stage? Any other advice welcome. Thank you all

Tropicana bananna-стресс или моя ошибка
Hello guys Help.... 700W LED Full spectrum IS IT TRUE?!?!.. Tropicana banana - week 11, growth has stopped, fertilizer - florra trio (according to the chart), could it be that I got stress during LST? Or during topping? The main thing! I don't know when to switch to 12/12. This is my first photoperiod.

EXTREME topping :P
How many nodes have you cut off of a photo before? I plan to grow my Gorilla Glue and Gelato together till harvest, yoink the Gorilla Glue, flip the Gelato to flower. I'd like an idea just how extreme I can go with my next "topping" to keep this plant as small as possible.

Topping/Cloning Question
I am planning on topping at node 5 and using the clipping to plant in a rockwool pellet for cloning. Would I still need a rooting gel if the clipping is being placed directly in a rockwool pellet? Appreciate the read, happy growing and learning.

What node do you normally top at and why? Would there be a benefit of any kind by topping at 3 instead of 5 etc?

To top, or not to top?
I held off too long with the decision and now pre-flowers have just started to appear. So I'm posed with the question: top her or not? If yes, between which nodes would you top her?

Topping Training :)
Hello everyone, I just repotted my baby into a 2 gallon bag yesterday. This is what it looks like. Just because of the height of my box (60”) I’m gonna top the plant once, then train it I think this is what I’m most comfortable in. Any better ideas ? + when to top !? :)
