Usually around 3 or 4 weeks from sprout , you don't want to top too early but you can always stay longer in veg and top multiple times... check out this technique called fluxing, combining multiple toppings and training over just 5/6 weeks from sprout !

Hey I hear people do it after 5 true leaves but I do it as soon as I think the plant can take it. I mostly have done this with the photoperiod strains and I asked the same question about autoflowers yesterday as it's a slightly different scenario . 👍

Hello ! The best time is after the 5th node and before the 7th node ( to me ) and for a scrog you should top before the plants reach the net to build a flat cannopy. I hope it will help you 😁👍

Pruning?Pruning ideas along the stems? Was thinking that some of the branches at the bottom that may never get over the lid of the pot should be snipped off. Also, good idea to keep blue/red light shining under the canopy?

Hi Growers!👋 I'm in sore need of your help and advice. As you can see, I've a very specific handmade growbox(dimensions on the first week). The light right now is about 30cm above the plants, and I don't know what to do in the very near future: LST/HST/Topping or ScrOG Thanks!🙌

Pruning lowest nodes?Can I prune the very lowest nodes off of my autos at this stage? They aren't going to receive much light so I'm thinking it would be better to remove them so that all the energy goes to the upper sites. Any pearls of wisdom on this front?

Ok so I have added to pictures to week 4. I have been flowering for week 5 and am seeing preflowers. I’m trying to determine wether or not these are male or female pre flowers. I am not seeing any white pistils. Are they male?

At what point should I cease Foliar Feeding or applying water via spray bottle. I am currently in week nine ad the description of this strain says it should be ready for harvest between weeks 8-10. Approximately 20% of the pistils have turned orange as of today.

First Scrog attempt - How much defoliation?I put a Scrog net in and over two days defoliated most of the leaves and small stems below the screen, also took out just a few leaves from the canopy that were obviously shadowing bud sites. Should I be thinning the canopy even more?

Should I harvest this plant in six days, or wait two more weeks? I’m away next week and I think I harvested my Polar Express a bit too early and don’t want to do that again. Now at Day 90. Outdoor grow with cool nights means it takes longer than Fast Buds says until harvest.

Howzit, So I am going to attempt to graft an arm onto my one plant, seeing that I mainlined two great stems and like an inattentive fool broke one off. My question: Anyone done this before and have any pointers for me? Not sure what the likeliness of this working is.

Hi fellow growers! From the pictures of this week, when do you think the pineapple and Critical should be ready for harvest? I’ve been checking the trichomes with a scope, I’m just finding it tricky to tell. They seem to be getting more dense daily right now so I’m being patient
