Topping question....

eldruidamxstarted grow question 6y ago

I want to continue training according to the "topping" method, but I have a question ... Tell me, please, who knows. I want to prune all 4 colas on each plant to bifurcate them. Can I do this one day? Or should it be done intermittently?

Hello! Watch some videos on YouTube. You basically cut the main cola between the two newest growths. It better to wait until 4-5 nodes. I’ve done multiple toppings, but it lessens yield—- unless you are growing outdoors... better to do one main topping at around week 4, veg it for 1-2 more weeks and flip!

NL #5 x Haze (70% sativa) height control At what height would you recommend initiating 12/12 to prevent this strain from over-stretching after topping each plant twice to produce four tops? I hope to finish them at 3-4ft. Would I get away starting 12/12 at 9-11 inches?

Topping techinque: 4 main colas I'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?

Suitable growing techniques What would you recommend: low stress training (such as bending, ScrOG) or high stress training (such as topping, fimming) for my strain? I read different things about it.
