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

should I top some more?
I topped once.. from one main high cola I got 4 per plant.. on one plant after LST it seems next small ones are appearing. Should I top again to get more colas? My original plan was to go with SCRoG and I still haven't decided if I'll do it (I think there's still time)

Training Automatics - best practices!
Hi guys. How do you go about training automatics? Some say only LST, some don't hesitate to top several times and some say to just leave it grow by itself. I'd love to top'em a few times but I'm not sure. Please HALP! Thank you! (Pic pretty unrelated, it's my last Mimosa EVO)

How to reveg plants after preflowers by the end of april outdoors?
How big are the chances to bounce the plants back to veg after preflowers by the end of april and 14h of day length? Mostly cloudy weather, warm day temperatures (30c) and cooler nights (8c)in the old greenhouse simulated probably to much end of summer vibes.

A deficiency, a toxicity and a toxic-deficiency???
Here's what I make of it (and PLEASE correct me where I am wrong!) : The tips yellowing indicates, a nitrogen burn. The burnt brown tip indicates, nitrogen burned to long 😂 The black spots indicate, a P or K issue (as the leaves are otherwise healthy green in color)

Topping an auto flower
I 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.
