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.

Are these autos stunned after topping Are these auto's stunned? Seen few of ppl say on here can not top autos - that is a lie. You cant top autos once the pistils show. Proof. Side by side. 2 topped. 1 without.

Putting back into veg before pistils and sexual maturity?Can you veg even after a 12/12 from seed has been in flower room 3 weeks shes just not big enough and would also like to top her so I really am considering it, the reason being is I can't see one pistil yet which means she's not mature, I don't see why it would make a difference

Is now the time to top?Is this a good time to top? Most plants are developing their 5th or 6th node as pictured. Is it recommended to cut just above the 4th or 5th node? I am planning on doing "LBH’s Famous 4-Way LST" combined with SCrOG.

NL #5 x Haze (70% sativa) height control At what height would you recommend initiating 12/12 to prevent this strain from over-stretching after topping each plant twice to produce four tops? I hope to finish them at 3-4ft. Would I get away starting 12/12 at 9-11 inches?

Is it a problem if one main cola is longer then the other?Did my first topping/mainlining. Right cola is longer then the left one, is it a problem or will they even out? For now Im trying to break any apical dominance by holding the longer cola below the shorter one. Any ideas how to deal with this?

Topping 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?
