I like to top as soon as it gets it first 7 fingered leaves. I suppose you can do it right after a set of 5 also, but I worry about stunting them.

TOPing an auto is a bit trickier than regular weed. It needs to be done not too late, or the plant will start flowering. The best time is to do it, removing the 5th node. If you do it too early the root system will be too small, which will make the plant take longer to recover.

You top it at the third node, but if you are on your first grow its better if you don't top, just grow it as it is, and get a grasp on how to read the plant first. Congrats on the leaves 😄😆 Good luck growmie (grower + homie, just so you know)

Topped the same way with 2 different results?? First time grower I tried to top 2 plants in the same way but one main shoot stopped growing, but the other had two new growths come right out of the old stem, as well as 2 bushier side stems. I am just wondering what I did differently and if both plants should work out fine. Video to show...

Topping Training :)Hello everyone, I just repotted my baby into a 2 gallon bag yesterday. This is what it looks like. Just because of the height of my box (60”) I’m gonna top the plant once, then train it I think this is what I’m most comfortable in. Any better ideas ? + when to top !? :)

Are those nutrient defficiencies? Which ones?A plant had interveinal chlorosis on new leaves and then proceeded to show brown patches between veins on middle leaves. Another has coppery brown spots on leaf edges on the middle of the plant. Both were rootbound in living soil (peat/perlite/hummus + ammendments).

Bottom leaves yellowish - why? And can I top?On both of my plants (C99 & S.A.D.) the bottom leaves are turning yellowish and I can't figure out why. I'd also like to top them this week (above 3rd node), but I'm hesitant because of the leaves. Any advice on what they may be missing, and whether I should wait with topping?
