Help trying to top plant for 2nd time

if you top yes you will cut at the new shots after they grow out a bit just like you waited for the five, this one you will do at 3 nodes, cut the top third remove the bottom leave the 2nd. if you dont top you will have a few nice colas there already and you can loli pop them by removing the lower areas that do not get light. either way though she will be a nice plant as she looks happy so great job to you

I let various factors dictate -- things that help maintain even canopy. if something is more vigrous, i may cut it back slightly further for 2 new tops. I'll try to find a level where i can cut everything relatively to the same height. how many shoots do you need to fill space? figure 1 per 6 sq. inch. is good to go with excellent airflow. Fill space as needed with as many as needed. you want about 1/2 your intended bloom area... the stretch will take care of the rest. (assuming these are photoperiods.) i'd also consider how many vertical shoots are sourced from "1" branch. I'd stil to 2-3 per axillary growth from apical meristem. Maybe 3 on the thicker ones and the former tops on apical meristem, as those will get more resources to share and vascular tissue to support it.
