Topping

Smokin_Joestarted grow question 4 years ago

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?

I don't think it makes a difference really. Whatever time is most suitable for yourself. For me it is in the morning before lights go off or sometimes in the evening when the just come on. What I will say though, is make sure she's well fed and healthy looking before doing and most strains bounce back very, very quickly. 👍🌱

I find they responded best when done right before the lights came on. Gives them a full day of energy gathering to help repair it's dmg. They seem to bounce back quickest IMO. Happy growing!!

i don't think it matters much, but i like to do stuff so it can soak up energy to heal. Make sure it's hydrated etc.. harvest is when you want to cut at a certain time -- before lights come on.. turn off the timer the night before so you can sleep in.

Benefits of FIMing vs Topping? Specific example.First grow. Looking at FIM results I'm super confused! It looks like if I had waited for the next segment to emerge and topped it (pics), I would get the same 4 branches (potential colas) AND 4 fan leaves which I have lost now due to FIM? Did FIM benefit here at all vs Topping?

Topping/Cloning Question I am planning on topping at node 5 and using the clipping to plant in a rockwool pellet for cloning. Would I still need a rooting gel if the clipping is being placed directly in a rockwool pellet? Appreciate the read, happy growing and learning.

Are the gals safe to top or are they too stressed?I've heard that you shouldn't top your ladies while there are any deficiencies or issues as it can be extremely stressful. Considering the light spotting and slightly burnt tips, would you say these gals are fine to top or should I wait until everything is perfect and dialed in?

Topping techinque: 4 main colas I'm approaching topping for the first time. The aim is to get 4 main colas, without FIM. The intention is to cut at the 3rd node (cut C) in order to develop the branches of nodes 2 and 3 as main ones. Does this make sense? Has anyone already had any experience with this?

Bottom leaves yellowish - why? And can I top?On both of my plants (C99 & S.A.D.) the bottom leaves are turning yellowish and I can't figure out why. I'd also like to top them this week (above 3rd node), but I'm hesitant because of the leaves. Any advice on what they may be missing, and whether I should wait with topping?

How and when to train?Hi, first grow here. My automatics are at their 16th day above ground. I think I have to top one of my plants to keep her height in check. Where and when should I top her? should I rather only do LST or maybe even wait for now (but they are automatics, so I should be quick?)?
