To Top or not to Top....

Noob_queststarted grow question 5 years 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

Autoflower topping?... and if so, when is best?My friend is recommending that I top at the fifth node with the knowledge I'm growing autos. However, many grower's here discourage it completely for autos. What's the best practise? I've never topped so this may need spelling out for me. Thanks in advance ✂️

Topping or LST after 1st topping Last week I topped this little baby, the plant now is growing ok. I noticed that not only the two top side branches are growing a lot, but that the ones on the node under it too. I would like to make the 4 grow and like that I don't have to top more, is it ok? How can I do it?
