Topping

Bigrobbudstarted grow question 5y ago

I think it’s time to top it at the 3rd node, your thoughts? It’s at the 4th with the 5th coming, maybe a day or two more?

Hey! I would go with low stress training on an auto flower because they can stress easily but if you want to top her anywhere between third node and fifth is fine. I wouldn't wait too much, the sooner the better. But only do it if you think they're strong and vigorous enough o bounce back. Hope this helped. Good luck and happy growing!

If it’s an auto I wouldn’t top it since the life cycle is so short. If it’s a photoperiod then top it and I would do some LST also.

To top or not to top an autoflower As I can read when googling, it’s a hit or miss to top and auto. What’s your experience? Should I go for it? My plant just started her third week.

Topping LSD and Acapulco Gold Anyone have any experience topping LSD or Acapulco Gold Strains? I've never grown these strains before and am curious how they respond to topping. Going to do it anyway, just looking for any insight from someone who's done it before. Thanks!

What is the risk to apply HS training(Topping Defoliation) to the strain for which LST/SCRoG is recommended?I am growing Auto Black Opium(Divine Seeds). The description says SCROG and LST work good. I started bending it recently and did 1 time topping earlier. I feel I need to do some defoliation, but it will be 2nd HS technique, which contradicts the recommendations. Should I?

should I top some more?I topped once.. from one main high cola I got 4 per plant.. on one plant after LST it seems next small ones are appearing. Should I top again to get more colas? My original plan was to go with SCRoG and I still haven't decided if I'll do it (I think there's still time)

Top her a second time?Do you think I should top her a second time, or is one cut enough? Should I consider flipping to 12/12 soon? I don't want to fill the outer squares of the net and give her some space. Thank you very much :)
