Time to top?

TheBonnieRobinstarted grow question 4 years ago

Is it time to top? I feel like I need a little bit more stretching first. Maybe even allow another node to develop? When should I top in relation to feeding/watering and lights out?

Wait another week. Top only if your plant looks healthy. If not then you can just LST without topping. Good luck.

Hi there, As you are growing Auto flower,I recommend to do LST rather than topping or fimming.For an auto flower,you shouldn’t top more than one time.They have short life cycle and don’t have so much time to recover.You can get the same result or may be better one by doing LST.So I encourage you to do only LST rather than top or fim.Happy growing... ✌️

Howdy, most folks top at the 3rd or 4th node. There’s no exact way to do it. It’s up to the growers preference. There are many great step by step topping and training videos and websites for greater detail.

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.

Outdoor Topping Limit?Hey Gromies! My outdoor girls still have till October to grow. They are in 10 gallon smart pots in the ground to combat the high temps here. I'm hoping to keep them under my fence line but I'm starting to think I'll need to top them all a second time. Will that be an issue?

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.

Topping Topping Question: When Topping, tutorials state to wait til you have 4-6 nodes. Does this count the cotyledon leaves, or for that matter the first single serrated leaf? Where do you begin counting nodes? Thanks in advance!

As you can see, one of my plants is a few inches taller than the others. They've all been topped 3 times for 8 mains, but I'm wondering whether I should top the big plant 1 more time in an effort to achieve a more uniform canopy height before flipping to 12-12.
