Noob_queststarted grow question 6y ago
So I plan to put in a screen and land up with a level canopy, hopefully. Is it absolutely necessary to top your plants? (I’m nervous of messing it up like the noob I am) And do my plants look ready to top? And do they look ok otherwise?Thank you

ToppingHi guys. Do my plants need topping if I have little space (60x40x120cm) and I am planning a scrog? Are the plants ready for topping? After topping, I plan to use only lst + scrog, no mainlines/manifolds. I also plan to turn on the lights 12/12 in a week or two. Thanks!

Top her a second time?Do you think I should top her a second time, or is one cut enough? Should I consider flipping to 12/12 soon? I don't want to fill the outer squares of the net and give her some space. Thank you very much :)Mimosa Cookies - Vegan

Tent Management Help please SCROGAny advice to help spread this canopy out or keeping them from overlapping the other plants? I don't want to buy a new light, should I just move this one (300w) up and move the plants a couple inches out? Start bending different directions? Trim something? Add a smaller light in?

Should i top again?My plants are topped and i used lst to pull my branches horizontal. When i flip to flower, i am going to place a scrog net. Should i top my main tips again before flipping to flower or just let them grow? Don't want them outgrowing other branches when i let everything grow up.

Is now the time to top?Is this a good time to top? Most plants are developing their 5th or 6th node as pictured. Is it recommended to cut just above the 4th or 5th node? I am planning on doing "LBH’s Famous 4-Way LST" combined with SCrOG.First Grow

Topping early at the third nodeHi. I have topped two plants above the third node but I don't intend to main-line them. They both had developed four mature nods. Was I too early to top and I cut at the wrong node? Can they develop enough branches to Scrog a 70x70cm grow? They kept growing after the topping

Suitable growing techniquesWhat would you recommend: low stress training (such as bending, ScrOG) or high stress training (such as topping, fimming) for my strain? I read different things about it.
