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.

Begin topping the plant?
Hey growers, itβs day 26 this is plant #1 - Am I a bit late on training and topping? I need some advice as to what I should do next - I am very limited to spacing, growing in a 24x24x48 tent. I only have 15 inches of space left

Should I top this again?
I'll need to flip it to flower in about 3 weeks or so and I'm curious if I should top it again before I flip the light schedule or would it just hurt me in the long run?

GDP2 "Retopping"?
So... is it normal for the plants to "retop" themselves? I topped GDP2 like 3 days ago and now it looks as though what I cut off is growing back again. Should I top it again in the same spot?

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

Topping Vs Not Topping
My Green Crack Autoflower just started lst and I have been reading alot of mixed things about topping autoflower. Would you guys risk topping an autoflower, having it stunt or negatively effect yeild OR Top it to break the plants apical dominance and therefore create more colas?

Are those nutrient defficiencies? Which ones?
A plant had interveinal chlorosis on new leaves and then proceeded to show brown patches between veins on middle leaves. Another has coppery brown spots on leaf edges on the middle of the plant. Both were rootbound in living soil (peat/perlite/hummus + ammendments).

Are the gals safe to top or are they too stressed?
I've heard that you shouldn't top your ladies while there are any deficiencies or issues as it can be extremely stressful. Considering the light spotting and slightly burnt tips, would you say these gals are fine to top or should I wait until everything is perfect and dialed in?
