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

Outdoor topping?
Wondering if I should top my outdoor grow. I have read both directions. Topping will make bushier and seems to be the thing to do indoors. Should I top my outdoor plants? This is my first grow. Or Should I just let them be to flourish?

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?

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!

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.

If I topped at the 5th node can I fim at the 6th or 7th node? Or should I stick with topping and not confuse the plant with different techniques?

Mutant clone advice
So one of the clones from Candy, a (fem) Northern Lights has 3 symmetrical growth points starting at or about the 4th node and continued on the 5th. So when I top do you think the trend will continue. Any insight will be appreciated. Thankx MrYuk.

Topping or no topping? Or any training?
High! Im wondering if I should do any training to my sea of green grow. I mean I want to have a massive yield, but I don’t want them to grow in each other, so topping might be a bit over the top?😄😉 What do you think? Thank you very much✊

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.

As you can see, one of my plants is a few inches taller than the others. They've all been topped 3 times for 8 mains, but I'm wondering whether I should top the big plant 1 more time in an effort to achieve a more uniform canopy height before flipping to 12-12.

Should i do LST or not ? Or maybe LST one Plant, let one grow natural ?
this is my third ever grow, and i was wondering if its worthy letting a plant grow natural, So far my two first plants i have done LST on, will the yield be impacted a lot when its being grown natural ? What do you think, should i give letting it grow natural a chance or do LST ?

Are the girls ready for flower??
Hi all! I’m wondering when will be good to switch to flower? I’m at start of week 5 & I topped them 1 week ago. Did a small amount of defoliation today to get rid of some yellow leaves that were laying on the soil. Do they look almost ready? Or wait due to topping & defoliation?
