Outdoor topping?
Muthaofdragonfliesstarted grow question 4 years ago
Wondering if I should top my outdoor grow. I have read both directions. Topping will make bushier and seems to be the thing to do indoors. Should I top my outdoor plants? This is my first grow. Or Should I just let them be to flourish?

For sure! Top and then top again if they are vegging out. Just not if you are close to flower. Topping gives ideal shape for outdoors as the sun moves along giving more even light distribution. Yields are better and keeps out of the eyes of any nosy neighbours too!

No nosy neighbors here. I can let them get as big as I like. So I didn’t know if there was a benefit with them being outdoors and the sun movement.
Maybe I’ll do no topping this time and top them next year as I get better with my skill. I looked closely at them today and it would just break my heat to screw it up.
Plus next year I know to order my seeds WAYYYYY earlier. So I can start this grow earlier. That way if I screw it up topping, I can always start another. If I screw up now.... I’m out of luck.

It’s your call. Try topping this time and maybe next time let her go naturally. No topping makes a beautiful looking plant

Outdoor growers: fim/top?I want to make sure to clarify that this question is only for outdoor growers with a photoperiod limited solely by the nature of the changing seasons.
Should I even bother with fim/topping? Is the juice worth the squeeze? Let me know your thoughts, or even better, resultsSetup. Outdoor

growing outdoorHi growers, I'm planning to grow three plants this month. It's my second time growing outdoors. Temperatures currently range between 15 and 22 degrees, but they will likely be higher in a few weeks. Is it warm enough to start? Which strain (auto) would you advise me to grow?Setup. Outdoor

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?

I'm a newbie and i don't know how i should water my seeds. Please helpI put seeds in a paper towel and then planted them in small pots but still nothing popped out of the soil. Should i use a spray bottle for now or should i just pour water on the soil? Cause i don't think spraying it reaches all the way down but i think pouring drowns the seed.Setup. Outdoor

Bottom leaves yellowish - why? And can I top?On both of my plants (C99 & S.A.D.) the bottom leaves are turning yellowish and I can't figure out why. I'd also like to top them this week (above 3rd node), but I'm hesitant because of the leaves. Any advice on what they may be missing, and whether I should wait with topping?

How and when to train?Hi,
first grow here. My automatics are at their 16th day above ground. I think I have to top one of my plants to keep her height in check. Where and when should I top her? should I rather only do LST or maybe even wait for now (but they are automatics, so I should be quick?)?

Are the gals safe to top or are they too stressed?I've heard that you shouldn't top your ladies while there are any deficiencies or issues as it can be extremely stressful. Considering the light spotting and slightly burnt tips, would you say these gals are fine to top or should I wait until everything is perfect and dialed in?
