Grow QuestionsNew nodes after topping very small, should I top more?

New nodes after topping very small, should I top more?

Cremostarted grow question 5 years ago

I topped my plants a few days ago, but just the tips when the side nodes where just as little as a few mm. I've seen a lot of you topping like a whole bunch of the top. I mainlined my plants but I dont know if I should top them again so the nodes under the top become main nodes.

I'd wait.. don't top anything again for 2-3 weeks. She will stretch she's just starting her recovery. Give her some time in a week your mind will be blown!! Happy growing!

@Nobody01 that's what I kind of do with my mainlined pants right now lol :P But honestly that sounds plausible :)

NobodysBudsanswered grow question 5 years ago

when i was younger i did 16 hours of community service at a green house for possession (not on record, but i guess it is, now)... lol.. anyway, i was told not to prune every node, but skip one then cut. so basically 2 nodes between cuts. not sure if that applies to marijuana, though. I'm sure it can handle it but maybe not optimal. 1 node - 2 nodes - safe to cut. i don't know if it matters, but anecdotally i think a little beginning growth of auxiliary buds before i top that branch tends to help too. as opposed to the tiniest nubs in nooks -- more so about anything below, the 1-2 at top are typically still quite small when i do it. i'll take more than 1 node off top occasionally too.

Main-Lining: cleanup center of plant and wait or stop cutting and switch to 12:12?I am not sure if I should remove the top 4 small branches that are growing up on the second picture... As you can see, I used those green rubber-coated wires to bind down the main branches. But on both sides of the stem - 2 small branches are shooting upwards: keep or cut?

LST and Topping I am starting to feed them nutrients and they are growing faster lately. I am considering starting LST and topping next week. LST when it reaches 4/5 nodes, and topping above the 5th node. Do you have any tips on how to perform this the best way ? Thank you in advance !
