To top or not to top (Again...would be 2nd time).
xbricostarted grow question 4 years ago
Should I top 1 more time? I have (Example pic) 4 good nodes at the end of the 2 main branches. Should I top these to allow the ones mid branch to pick up and boost or should I leave them now and just flip in a week or 2? Think they're near end of veg as not putting on any height!

Hi!
No need for topping anymore at this point. I'd say if you want to control the growth just use LST now, if you bend the top lower than the mid part, the hormones will make the mid part grow more.
And probably the reason for not gaining height so much is that you have been training them and it has become more bushier now 'cos the plant don't know when veg time ends until you flip the switch to 12/12
Happy growing!

Topping techinque: 4 main colasI'm approaching topping for the first time. The aim is to get 4 main colas, without FIM. The intention is to cut at the 3rd node (cut C) in order to develop the branches of nodes 2 and 3 as main ones. Does this make sense? Has anyone already had any experience with this?

Autoflower topping?... and if so, when is best?My friend is recommending that I top at the fifth node with the knowledge I'm growing autos.
However, many grower's here discourage it completely for autos.
What's the best practise? I've never topped so this may need spelling out for me.
Thanks in advance ✂️
