She will bounce back from the topping much faster with no added stress. Wait to see the plant growing again. Like new growth on ur branches, foliage fattening up. Than she will be healthy and recovered enough to do some lst work on her. Everything and everyone deals with stress differently no real set time amount.... just watch for the signs. Happy growing and stay lit fam.

Normally after between 5-10 days when new branches are sufficient healthy and tall to be anchored and curved like desired. Good luck.

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.

I am growing 3 autos in little 2 gallon pots and one in particular is ridiculously stacked/dense in its node development (the Godzilla Cookies Auto,, first photos!). Should I bend more/tie lower/more?

I know I said I'm out of grow space. But this plant is a complete bonsai I messed up good I think lol. If I keep her in veg?Quick question...could I turn this bad girl into a mother plant? If I keep her in veg and clone, plant her outside. Or make a grow tent just for her? The main stalk is twisted like hell and I'm continuing the pull around the pot...
