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 or no topping? Or any training?High!
Im wondering if I should do any training to my sea of green grow. I mean I want to have a massive yield, but I don’t want them to grow in each other, so topping might be a bit over the top?😄😉
What do you think? Thank you very much✊5y ago

Outdoor topping?Wondering if I should top my outdoor grow. I have read both directions. Topping will make bushier and seems to be the thing to do indoors. Should I top my outdoor plants? This is my first grow. Or Should I just let them be to flourish?Setup. Outdoor

ToppingSorry - Another topping / training question: When is the best time to "Top" your plants in regards to time of the day, e.g. morning/midday/night in terms of light schedule?
In short: do you cuts your plants when the lights come on, before they go off, or somewhere in between?Week 4

Top the plant again or not?Hello growers, I have a question, I already top this 2 plants and I’m doing lst, and later I’ll use the scrog, but can I top it again? Should I do it or isn’t worth it?
I read it could lower the finally quantity yield, and that is some stress to the plant. Is it worth?Other. General questions

Stretch Q:Stretch estimated at 200%, is that of the entire plants length or just whats vertical in the top canopy?
I used some mainline, topping & lst techniques, not a lot of vertical growth for its age but a good amount of horizontal.
Curious to how it relates.
Thoughts, ideas?Week 11

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?1y ago
