Topping
Smokin_Joe
started grow question 6y ago
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!

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

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?

Top now or wait? Growing 4th node.
I'm about a week into veg, plants look to be about 4-6 inches tall. Most are going into their 4th node. Should I wait longer or is now a good time? Also, should I wait for all plants to be at around the same stage or should I top the ones that are ready first?

Topping or LST after 1st topping
Last week I topped this little baby, the plant now is growing ok. I noticed that not only the two top side branches are growing a lot, but that the ones on the node under it too. I would like to make the 4 grow and like that I don't have to top more, is it ok? How can I do it?

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.

What is the risk to apply HS training(Topping Defoliation) to the strain for which LST/SCRoG is recommended?
I am growing Auto Black Opium(Divine Seeds). The description says SCROG and LST work good. I started bending it recently and did 1 time topping earlier. I feel I need to do some defoliation, but it will be 2nd HS technique, which contradicts the recommendations. Should I?
