It looks like you've taken the new growth off when you topped her.....

Always possible that she wont bounce back, but my bet is she starts back up just fine soon enough. Just dont go crazy trying to save her and make big mistakes (like hoping that overfeeding her nutes will somehow help). The key is to reduce all other stresses as much as possible.

hello Join the club friend, we've all had some failed tops. But give it some time and see if some new growth happens, it may just turn out to be one quirky looking plant. I wouldn't do anything except keep her very comfortable for right now.

Just give her a little more time some times patients is all we need to have. I am pretty sure shes going to start two more in MAYBE another week and the stop growing is normal after being topped she just need some recovery time to bounce back.

Topping during Flowering: good or bad?Does topping “fast growing” colas during flowering (for light purposes) help or hinder flower dev and/or harvest? Or should I sacrifice tallest ones to possible bleaching? Canopy was level before flower, but a few colas took off, creating uneven SoG (6" diff)

When do I start Low Stress Training and Will topping help along with LST to increase harvest?When do I start Low Stress Training? and Will Topping help with LST to maximize harvest or Is it better if I just do only Low Stress Training? The Plant is at Day 36th (35 Days and 11 Hours Right now) Are those 2 small dried leaves a sign of a problem?

Did I wait too long to top?I just topped, main-lined, and defoliated. The stem is about the thickness of a pencil, and the nodes are very tightly packed. The reason I waited so long to top was because I wanted to clone the cuttings and give them to a friend. My question is, did I wait too long to top?

Are these plants ready for topping/LST? 2 have just gotten to 6th node and one to 5th (was planted 4-5 days after first two)Looking to top all three and potentially manifold at least one of these plants. Only concern is I just transplanted them in tuesday. They look great but I just want to make sure they are out of the woods on transplant shock before i start hacking away at them.
