Hi! When should I top her? She has 3 pair of leaves now.
I know it can be risky, but I'd like to experiment a bit :)

FR_PhenoFinderanswered grow question 4 years ago
I'd say wait until she has 5 pair of leaves and you want to top a healthy plant growing vigorously, if she is having problems growing you need to wait at least 7 pair of leaves before topping, good luck ! It isn't risky as long as you wait for her to be able to grow out of it ! :)
Also I'd recommend mulching the top of your soil for beneficial soil health and 80% less watering! :)

Benefits of FIMing vs Topping? Specific example.First grow. Looking at FIM results I'm super confused!
It looks like if I had waited for the next segment to emerge and topped it (pics), I would get the same 4 branches (potential colas) AND 4 fan leaves which I have lost now due to FIM?
Did FIM benefit here at all vs Topping?

autoflower, extended veg time, due to mainlining "topping,training" and stable genetics and pot size ?Could you in theory manipulate the veg time of an autoflower, by doing main-lining "lots of topping, training" with good genetics, oversized pot, 24 hour lights and good timing ?
Ive experianced a few plants staying long in veg, without showing signs of stress or stunt.Setup. Strain - Autoflowering

Amber and still many clear trichomesApproaching harvest time and im confused with still seeing a lot of clear trichomes.
I identify already about 40%+ amber trichomes at the top of the main cola fading to 20% amber in the middle of it.
Lower buds/colas have 20% amber.
Am i just overreacting over nothing?
