Please look at my four girls and advise when I should top them? LST going good so far but think I need to wait a little longer before topping? Anyone have a preferred method of doing things? I’m hoping to LST for another week or so and then switch to flower, am I rushing things🙏

Looks good... top to fill space. need more vertical shoots in that locale? top a growth for 2 new shoots. when you fill 1/2 your space, switch to 12-12. 1/2 of an area is 70% x70% = ~.5 so when you are 70% of length and 70% of width, expect it to fill in the rest after 12-12. doesn't list it as an autoflower, but you have to approach those a bit differently and guess when that "12-12-like" flip ocurred in the plant. you are guessing how much time you have for vege growth. ~4-5 weeks for a shorter variety is about all you get. just in case... initially the longer you let it grow the yield increases at a logrythmic rate,but will hit a ceiling... might put out more material, but more fluff at a greater proportion at that point. This is determined by light and co2, primarily. i don't know your light's coverage, but figure that's the space oyu want to fill divided by any other plants you are growing.

Heya! Now would be a good time for topping as it would give them a week to recover before flowering. I typically top my plants at nodes 4-6, that way they are mature enough that they don't get stunted too much. When you switch to flower you'll notice the plant will stretch a lot during the first couple weeks of 12-12. Usually you want to veg until your at half your desired height, indicas typically grow 1.5-2x larger and some sativa's up to 3x. Cheers and good luck!
