You can top it. Looks like bringing the light abit closer might be beneficial. Just remove the first grow shoot just above the two new shoots under it

Wait until your plant has 5 grown nodes and a 6th peaking from the middle. Cut above third node (Just below 4th to give some stalk space if youre mainlining). People tend to remove lower leaves at this point but if youre in any doubt about how or how much dont, it does make a slight difference but if youre not experienced with it you might kill your plant. Also starve it from the N for a couple of days before removing the top or leaves.

Hi!
It looks like the right moment, the plant looks healthy and its big enough to recover.
Just cut below the first pair of leaves, leaving the 2 branches that should be coming out of the steam. Use clean garden scisors and make a fine cut. 👌🙏🍀

Topping In Tiny PlacesI’ve been topping my autos in a 3.8 sf stealth cabinet religiously at the 20ish day. In hydro that is around node 6-7. Would topping earlier giving the speed of growth that hydro provides, say at 3-4 node, make the plant less bushy and easier to manage? Ideas for tiny places?Week 1

To top or not to top. That is the question.Hey Growers. Looking for some advice. Would you suggest flowering next week-10 days with 7 big tops/plant or top and veg 1-2 weeks having 14/plant and maybe Scrog. This will be in my 2x4x5 with the XS2000. Thanks in advance for the help.
Happy Growing 🌱

Top the plant again or not?Hello growers, I have a question, I already top this 2 plants and I’m doing lst, and later I’ll use the scrog, but can I top it again? Should I do it or isn’t worth it?
I read it could lower the finally quantity yield, and that is some stress to the plant. Is it worth?

First time toppingMy second grow ever (and first photo period attempt) involves these White Widows. I want to top these at least twice. Currently have 3 multi leaf nodes. When's a good time to do the first - and then the second - topping? I've heard several opinions. Maybe I could do 3? Thx
