Topping Question: When Topping, tutorials state to wait til you have 4-6 nodes. Does this count the cotyledon leaves, or for that matter the first single serrated leaf? Where do you begin counting nodes?
Thanks in advance!

The first true leaf! not the cotyledon leafs. Hope this helps! Happy growing!

As I know, people usually starting count from first single serrated leaf.

I’d start topping
Or just cut one top.
As long as it’s not an auto...you don’t wanna top or fim An auto.

Are these plants ready for topping/LST? 2 have just gotten to 6th node and one to 5th (was planted 4-5 days after first two)Looking to top all three and potentially manifold at least one of these plants. Only concern is I just transplanted them in tuesday. They look great but I just want to make sure they are out of the woods on transplant shock before i start hacking away at them.

Tent Management Help please SCROGAny advice to help spread this canopy out or keeping them from overlapping the other plants? I don't want to buy a new light, should I just move this one (300w) up and move the plants a couple inches out? Start bending different directions? Trim something? Add a smaller light in?

Light distance and when to top?I'm using a 300W LED. What distance should I keep the lights at now that I've transplanted and the plants are doing well? I'm thinking 24" and then move up as they grow until flipping. Also, when should I top? I've read that waiting for 6-8 nodes is the right way to go.

Topping an auto flowerI want to top the big wedding cake but I'm worried I waited too late and at the rate she is growing I think she is an auto (wasnt supposed to be). Should I go ahead and top her or just let her go? I have read lots of mixed reviews about topping autos.
