Topping

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.

Would you/should I top these?
I am unsure whether to do a final topping. My thinking is that I donāt want to have shoots growing inward but sideways so Iād had to top at the points I marked. But thereās two nodes above that. Isnāt that too much to cut off? Pictures show cutting point and whatās above that.

To cut or not to cut ?
Hi buddies, my girl is in the 2' bloom week and I'm uncertain if I have to cut the flowers of the lower part of the buds or not. I want only dense buds and not lollipops. Here 3 pics: the flowers are circled in red, the branch from bottom in blu and the whole bud. Many thx š

Topping at two weeks?
I wonder what the effect of topping so early will have? Week two is pretty unconventional, with most preferring 3-5 weeks. She seems pretty happy though. Hopefully this will give maximum uninterrupted ( minus of course the LST ) veg time now.

Sheās looking really bushy, did I top her too early?
Did I top her too early? Sheās become real bushy and leafy. Not sure if I should be trimming the lower area yet or just let her grow. About 4 weeks in veg. Thanks!

Are the girls ready for flower??
Hi all! Iām wondering when will be good to switch to flower? Iām at start of week 5 & I topped them 1 week ago. Did a small amount of defoliation today to get rid of some yellow leaves that were laying on the soil. Do they look almost ready? Or wait due to topping & defoliation?

4x4 16 Plant Veg Time and Training
Hello guys, I am planning on flowering these 16 ladies in my 4x4, but I am unsure of how long to veg and what training to utilize for maximum yield. I was thinking 3-4 weeks? Or maybe longer? Is topping in such a tight space a good idea? If yes then at what time? Thanks!

Hi guys. Do my plants need topping if I have little space (60x40x120cm) and I am planning a scrog? Are the plants ready for topping? After topping, I plan to use only lst + scrog, no mainlines/manifolds. I also plan to turn on the lights 12/12 in a week or two. Thanks!

When do you start topping? Photoperiods need to LST? Can ya'll just go look at my diary and tell me if my ladies look like they should LOL.
When to top or LST? Do these look stunted? I'm super curious about methods for best yield. I'm already worried my girls are leggy (but I've gotten some great advise already to let them rest but also give them bigger pots soon). Planted March 20th. Pictures from today.

Should I top?
Hi everyone, I am a bit in two minds if I should top and mainline this beautiful lady. If I decide to do any topping it should happen this week. Please let me know what you growers would do :) I might have left this too late as she has grown a lot.
