Yess she is only showing you her sex but not flowering so nothing to worry about, and by doing it do not forget to disinfect your tools with alcohol a clean work is always better. Have a nice grow, good luck! 🙌

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?

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?

Topping ready?
This plant has 4 sets of fan leaves with its 5th beginning to develop. Would this be a suitable time to top the plant?

When to top
Curious when you guys are topping. I have just entered week 4 and the 5th real pair of leaves is just developing. Should I top now or wait for the 6th? Root system should be fine by now for the plant to handle the stress, right?

Topping gone right?
Anybody ever have a topping turn out like this? Just thought it was funny I didn’t even notice. Definitely didn’t get the light it needed to grow but I’m gonna get some big colas from this baby and probably more main ones now too

When to take your top off?
When is the best time to top? What exactly is a node? Is it the start of new growth on the main trunk?

To top or not?
Should I top "No. 3"? She is at 30cm after day 16 and her 5th set of true leaves are starting to sprout? I think she can handle it 🤔

Are those nutrient defficiencies? Which ones?
A plant had interveinal chlorosis on new leaves and then proceeded to show brown patches between veins on middle leaves. Another has coppery brown spots on leaf edges on the middle of the plant. Both were rootbound in living soil (peat/perlite/hummus + ammendments).

First time topping
My second grow ever (and first photo period attempt) involves these White Widows. I want to top these at least twice. Currently have 3 multi leaf nodes. When's a good time to do the first - and then the second - topping? I've heard several opinions. Maybe I could do 3? Thx

Looking to top all of these. When’s the best time? Wanting to train for colas, but don’t want to stunt the tap root before it gets to the bottom of the pot.

Should I defoliate after topping with LST ?
I just did my first topping and she took it very well, no signs of stress and actually growing really fast I think. I was thinking about LST the top colas so the lower ones can reach that height, should I cut the top leaves shadowing the lower future colas?
