answered grow question 5y ago
I would wait until she has at 5-6 nodes before topping. Then top down to the third node. Top them again once the two new tops have have enough new growth. Top each cola until you have 8 main ones

Who thinks i should top her? [OUTDOOR]
Who thinks I should top her? She is growing nicely but i am afraid topping can strees her.To get the most of her no topping or topping? Once she is outdoor im afraid if i dont top her not all buds will get the same sunlight but also with the topping she can not grow as big

First time topper
So as a newbie grower I will be trying to top my plant for the first time. The 6th node is developing and about ready to snip off. I was wondering if there is a proper time during day to do it? Does light schedule timing have any effect?

Training Automatics - best practices!
Hi guys. How do you go about training automatics? Some say only LST, some don't hesitate to top several times and some say to just leave it grow by itself. I'd love to top'em a few times but I'm not sure. Please HALP! Thank you! (Pic pretty unrelated, it's my last Mimosa EVO)

Topping or no topping? Or any training?
High! Im wondering if I should do any training to my sea of green grow. I mean I want to have a massive yield, but I donโt want them to grow in each other, so topping might be a bit over the top?๐๐ What do you think? Thank you very muchโ
