Topping best time ?

Greenfingeressstarted grow question 5y 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! ;-)

LST, defoliation and topping advice..Plz look at my four girls and advise when I should top them? LST going ok so far but think I need to wait a bit before topping? Anyone got a preferred method of doing things? I’m hoping to LST for another week or so and then switch to flower am I rushing things? More Defoliation?

Which node is number 1 When counting nodes for the first topping, which node is number 1? The cotyledons? First single serrated leaf? 1st 3 fingered leaf? I'm counting pairs of leaves as those are where the nodes are, just not sure which to count as number 1. Personally, i say first 3 fingered leaf

To Top or not to Top....So I plan to put in a screen and land up with a level canopy, hopefully. Is it absolutely necessary to top your plants? (I’m nervous of messing it up like the noob I am) And do my plants look ready to top? And do they look ok otherwise?Thank you

When do you start topping? Photoperiods need to LST? Can ya'll just go look at my diary and tell me if my ladies look like they should LOL.When to top or LST? Do these look stunted? I'm super curious about methods for best yield. I'm already worried my girls are leggy (but I've gotten some great advise already to let them rest but also give them bigger pots soon). Planted March 20th. Pictures from today.

Topping Topping Question: When Topping, tutorials state to wait til you have 4-6 nodes. Does this count the cotyledon leaves, or for that matter the first single serrated leaf? Where do you begin counting nodes? Thanks in advance!
