never defoliate more than 20% of the leaf mass otherwise it can shock the plant into being a runt. Just to be sure you should space out topping and defol by a week to ten days. Hope this helps ! 🚀

I probably did more than 20% by accident not knowing bit tbh woke up this morning and it's looking happier now than before I did it so might have just dropped lucky the new growth is coming through quicker where it was topped and where I defoliated all shoots we're anchored down and there all angled back up and growing back towards the light it looks like the plant took it with a pinch of salt and hasnt shocksd at all, thanks for quick replies will post picture shortly if problems on the site are fixed

Naah, A little stress at a time, is better than a lot of stress at a time..
- If you did an okay job at topping, and then defoliate, you might end up with the same amount of time healing, as if you did a poor job at topping., While it doesn't take all that much to heal removed leaves on its own, unless you really go for it, and take waaaay too many.

Is it not best to do it all at once rather than multiple shock? It will get over everything all at once rather than bit at a time no?

You don't defoliate after topping.. You give it a few days to rest and heal up.

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?

Topping very bushy plants with low node distanceThis plant is very bushy already in this stage, is this normal?
I wanted to top them and ask about the timing, if its right or not, but it's getting hard to count the nodes and take photos , because there is so much in the way.
Happy growing!

Grow strategy for 2 ILGM Purple Punch AutosI'm told this is a bushy strain and I might want to top the plant?
Suggestions?
If so when/how?
Should I split strategies between 2 plants to see whats better for this strain?
I know I'm probably over thinking it. But come on you remember when you first started. :)Week 1

Late topping to take direct clone from topping after 8 or 9 nodes?Late topping to get a decent clone (two nodes) with first topping?
What do you guys think, is there a too late for topping? Normaly i top only the tip and take clones later from branches.
My girl nr.4 is three weeks behind she could catch up, cutting the clone from branches?Plant. Too tall

Grow techniquesAny of the gurus of LST, main lining and other grow techiques willing to share an idea how to further improve the plants behavior. 🙂
I intend to further remove branches and leave only one at each of the nodes where there are two, make the canopy wide and airy. +root cut branchesa year ago

He visto un vídeo donde hablan de defoliación y poda de bajo luego de pasar las plantas a 12/12, he leido que una vez se coloca las plantas a florecer nono debería; ahora mismo tengo unas plantas que llevan 5 días que las pase a 12/12 y tengo debajo de la malla unas ramas que no llevan luz y en la parte de arriba unas hojas muy grandes que paran el paso de la luz, puedo defoliar y hacer poda de bajos al 7mo dia?
