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 an auto flowerI want to top the big wedding cake but I'm worried I waited too late and at the rate she is growing I think she is an auto (wasnt supposed to be). Should I go ahead and top her or just let her go? I have read lots of mixed reviews about topping autos.Week 3

Dudas sobre ToppingTengo varias dudas. La planta está por 6 nudo de crecimiento
¿Hago el topping por encima del 4 nudo o por encima del 5 nudo?
¿El corte debe ser a 90 grados o a 45 grados?
Leo muchos artículos y foros con distintas opiniones, pero no me queda claro...
Gracias!Week 3

When do I start Low Stress Training and Will topping help along with LST to increase harvest?When do I start Low Stress Training? and Will Topping help with LST to maximize harvest or Is it better if I just do only Low Stress Training? The Plant is at Day 36th (35 Days and 11 Hours Right now) Are those 2 small dried leaves a sign of a problem?5y ago

Grow LightsIs it okay to use an LED Light 1000 watt (4x4x80" tent) & a UV Light 1000 Watt in a 4x4x80" grow tent for 3 plants. I want more light, I have plants growing slowly so I'm hoping to adjust the amount of light I have would speed up their growth. LED is white spectrum & UV blue-vegLeaves. Tips - Burnt

Topping at two weeks?I wonder what the effect of topping so early will have? Week two is pretty unconventional, with most preferring 3-5 weeks. She seems pretty happy though. Hopefully this will give maximum uninterrupted ( minus of course the LST ) veg time now.Week 2
