Hi there!
I'm doing my first auto grow ATM and I've been told that topping in 3rd week should delay the flowering and it is beneficial for the plant. I tried this and none of the topped plants are pre-flowering but the ones that was not topped arw showing pistils already.
So I'd say go ahead and top it!!

Topping techinque: 4 main colasI'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?

ToppingHi! How many main branches are best left after topping? In my last grow I left 8 branches (4 nodes) and it was too difficult to train them. Leaving 4 main branches in "plus" shape would be a good solution? Which option will save me more time (fast veg is important for me)? ThanksWeek 3

ToppingNever topped plants before, this is my first time growing and with the tight spacing of the nodes might have damaged the little growth in the crotch when I cut... Should I be ok or did I potentially damage the yield potential? Should be able to zoom in on last few pics of week 3

Too late to top these autos? I'm at the end of 3rd week.Should I have topped this one a couple days ago? These girls have been very vigorous. The only thing that gave me pause was these miniscule white pistils right here. Can I snip em, you think? Or bad idea? And if yes, should I FIM instead?

second topping @third weekI would like to perform the second topping on saturday (at the end of the 3rd week) on the two top branches. I've drafted a sign on the picture where the cuts will be made.
Do you think they are ok ? In your opinion the timing is ok ?
Thx
