Topping best time ?

Greenfingeressstarted grow question 5 years ago

When I get seeds I get 2 so I can veg one for a couple of weeks and flower to see what's it like and grow other in veg for a while to Clone...... When would you say the best time to top is to make a good mum plant for clones????😊

I normally go with main-lining so you can control how much the plant would be in terms of height and width and everytime you cut you will have 2 clones. You can follow my banana krunbal diary and take advantage! ;-)

Topping during Flowering: good or bad?Does topping “fast growing” colas during flowering (for light purposes) help or hinder flower dev and/or harvest? Or should I sacrifice tallest ones to possible bleaching? Canopy was level before flower, but a few colas took off, creating uneven SoG (6" diff)

When do I start Low Stress Training and Will topping help along with LST to increase harvest?When do I start Low Stress Training? and Will Topping help with LST to maximize harvest or Is it better if I just do only Low Stress Training? The Plant is at Day 36th (35 Days and 11 Hours Right now) Are those 2 small dried leaves a sign of a problem?

Did I wait too long to top?I just topped, main-lined, and defoliated. The stem is about the thickness of a pencil, and the nodes are very tightly packed. The reason I waited so long to top was because I wanted to clone the cuttings and give them to a friend. My question is, did I wait too long to top?
