Can I top side branches or must if be off the main/already topped stems? I'm looking to even out the canopy as I have some dead space before I flower her.

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

Topping techinque: 4 main colas
I'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 have a full tent of plants with level trained canopies. I couldn't get Banana Purple Punch B to bend at the top, so I just tied down the side branches. However, I'm afraid of her growing taller than the rest of the canopy. Should I top her?

Delaying Senesence?
Delay Senescence in cannabis while employing a staggered harvest? Is this possible? I'm thinking about cherry picking my top colas as they are milky and starting to turn to amber. There are also new bud sites that I wish to feed and maximize yield.

Appear to have an iron deficiency, perhaps as a result of lock-out. May have been triggered by light stress or environment changes. Living soil media, watered with rainwater, supplemented with compost teas and organic soil drenches pH to 6.5. Seeking advice as to how to correct

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?)?

Is it safe to tweak your light cycle times when you flip?
I'm getting ready to flip and was hoping to adjust the cycle time when I do. My light is currently on from midnight to 6pm, but would like to switch to 9am-9pm or 11am-11pm to better align with my schedule. Am I safe to adjust or should I keep it at 12am-12pm when I flip? Thanks!

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?

Hi everyone. The plant is a photo on her 7th week of veg. I give solid ferti and diluted compost tea water then appeared white spot on old leaves and the new leaves have tips burnt. Is it PH problem or PH mix with overfed?
