Topping question....
eldruidamxstarted grow question 5y 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!

How and when to train?Hi,
first grow here. My automatics are at their 16th day above ground. I think I have to top one of my plants to keep her height in check. Where and when should I top her? should I rather only do LST or maybe even wait for now (but they are automatics, so I should be quick?)?

Is it bad to top an autoflower at this stage?I accidentally broke off the top of the plant while attempting to low stress train and now it came like this, kinda like topping.. is it bad to stress the plant this much since it's an auto on week 5? Honestly I think it's a mutant as it has lots of growth but stayed quite small.

Outdoor topping?Wondering if I should top my outdoor grow. I have read both directions. Topping will make bushier and seems to be the thing to do indoors. Should I top my outdoor plants? This is my first grow. Or Should I just let them be to flourish?

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)
