WhyNotA2started grow question 5y ago
In a mostly indica strain, for a 2x4 tent and a 240W LED. Does it pay off to top 2x? I have 5 nodes of new growth after topping and not sure what my next steps should be. I am training the entire thing but feeling like I should do something additional. Thx for any suggestions

You can too as much as you want as long you have a photoperiod plant that is currently vegetating. That allows the plant to heal and get bigger from the topping.
However, I donโt recommend you doing that during flowering because it wonโt help much.

In my small tent, all pots touch each other. I just Lst to the edge of pot and when everything reaches that area i start to let her grow vertical.
I guess i am trying to say that lst is the best method when controlling space rather than topping more often. It kind of depends what you want to do with your plant.

Are these plants ready for topping/LST? 2 have just gotten to 6th node and one to 5th (was planted 4-5 days after first two)Looking to top all three and potentially manifold at least one of these plants. Only concern is I just transplanted them in tuesday. They look great but I just want to make sure they are out of the woods on transplant shock before i start hacking away at them.Techniques. Topping

Removing popcorn buds and small bottom branches/flowers on Week10Hi guys,
Day66 with my autoflower, 3 more weeks to go before harvest.
This is my 1st grow so I didnโt do too much besides LST. No topping, no fimming etc.
Is it safe to remove the popcorn buds from the bottom and some small branches that don t reach light? Will this hurt her?

ToppingNever topped plants before, this is my first time growing and with the tight spacing of the nodes might have damaged the little growth in the crotch when I cut... Should I be ok or did I potentially damage the yield potential? Should be able to zoom in on last few pics of week 3Week 3

Outdoor Topping Limit?Hey Gromies! My outdoor girls still have till October to grow. They are in 10 gallon smart pots in the ground to combat the high temps here. I'm hoping to keep them under my fence line but I'm starting to think I'll need to top them all a second time. Will that be an issue?Week 6

When do you start topping? Photoperiods need to LST? Can ya'll just go look at my diary and tell me if my ladies look like they should LOL.When to top or LST? Do these look stunted? I'm super curious about methods for best yield. I'm already worried my girls are leggy (but I've gotten some great advise already to let them rest but also give them bigger pots soon). Planted March 20th. Pictures from today.Leaves. Too few
