LST after Topping
When would you start doing LST after doing a topping? I have topped about 3 days ago now, and have good growth from the new sites, about 1/2 inch of stock coming from the tops. Worried if I LST a little too early those new tops might not be grown enough yet!

Smells wicked already and its gonna be a nice yield with fimmin it and supercroping thos 4 tops and may top , the very top two branches after the recovery of the super cropping , it would allow me to get an even canopy across the 4 sq feet I've got , any opinions on topping again

Forced supercrop due to lack of water
Hello mates, one of my plants bent its branches due to lack of water (I wasn't at home for a few days), and three of them has broken, even partially RIPPED. I put a tape so it can recover from the damage. Should I worry about this? She looks fine after a day (straighten up).

Training method for this leafy boi
This leafy boi has grown bushy. What training methods do you recommend? Should I just tie down to the side? should I defoliate the fan leaves covering new growth?

How to top to make more colas (mainline)
I was curious if anyone could help me understand how they train their plant to separate into like 7 or 8 different branches right down at the bottom of the stem. Almost looks like multiple topping on top of each. Any advice? Added a photo for more clarity.

Conjoined top leaves! 1st node top?
Is it possible to top a seedling above the 1st node? Obviously not best practice, but this Phantom OG has a weird conjoined twin leave at the top and not another node. after the first one. The sprout was all good but now top of this one is def not right.

Two main branches split the stalk due to over training
I topped an autoflower plant, and I over trained it. The plant stalk has split between the two main branches that are being trained. I removed the training wire hoping that the plant will heal itself. Is there anything else I should do or put on it to help it heal?

Auto's topping
How about Topping, Fiming, Lst, etc with Auto's? and whats better in outdoor? Is just willing to don't have a taller plants (in the case it happens) so the neighbour can't see, and increase the yield of course ehehe

Time to top?
Is it time to top? I feel like I need a little bit more stretching first. Maybe even allow another node to develop? When should I top in relation to feeding/watering and lights out?

Topped the same way with 2 different results?? First time grower
I tried to top 2 plants in the same way but one main shoot stopped growing, but the other had two new growths come right out of the old stem, as well as 2 bushier side stems. I am just wondering what I did differently and if both plants should work out fine. Video to show...

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.

Topping
When should I start my 1st topping? I have 2 plants both have 5 nodes with the next set of leaves growing. I was thinking of waiting until the stem grows to about 1cm and then cut 0.5cm above the 5th node. This is my 1st time growing please help.
