Yes, you can top side branches and it'll just split the branch into two new growth points, just like a main stem.

When can I start flowering my freshly topped plants?
Can I start instantaneously or do I need to wait until the stems of the nodes are thicker and more mature?

When to start 12/12
Hi people. My plants are on vegetation day 26 and are 8 inches tall. My tent setup can give them room for 15 more inches for a total of 23 inches height from soil to top. So, when do you think I should start 12/12 to maximize the plants height and yield? Thanks.
