Topping that soon can cause more stress. I would wait for more nodes for a second topping.

One new top shoot died what i HST yesterday.super sad thing.The other one looks strong. I angled the left shoot with a 45 degree. So the Botton shoot can get more light and be a backup Top? I dont know maybe i cut it down I have 3 nodes now. If i cut the top one i lose lot grow.

Is it possible to top a seedling above the 1st node? Obviously not best practice, but this Phantom OG has a weird conjoined twin leave at the top and not another node. after the first one. The sprout was all good but now top of this one is def not right.

She’s looking really bushy, did I top her too early?
Did I top her too early? She’s become real bushy and leafy. Not sure if I should be trimming the lower area yet or just let her grow. About 4 weeks in veg. Thanks!

Praying leaves
The leaves are stretching up (praying leaves as I understand). It's just 1 day after topping and I would expect some stress, is this a good or bad sign? I fear I might have topped them a bit too early.

It is true that topping will slow down the grow of the autoflowers? About how much?
During LST i accidentaly topped one of my autoflower girl. It is true that topping will slow down the grow of the autoflowers? Will it be slower than the others girls now?

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...

Outdoor Auto Training
Any outdoor auto growers out there? What do you recommend for increasing yield? Topping? FIMing? Go au naturale/nothing? Still a couple of weeks before flowering stage.

Topping early at the third node
Hi. 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

4x4 16 Plant Veg Time and Training
Hello guys, I am planning on flowering these 16 ladies in my 4x4, but I am unsure of how long to veg and what training to utilize for maximum yield. I was thinking 3-4 weeks? Or maybe longer? Is topping in such a tight space a good idea? If yes then at what time? Thanks!
