Of course you can, it will only cost you some time, which is not a problem if time does not push you.

You can top as many times as you wish as long as you have the time and space for the plant to grow and recover before flipping to flower. 🤘😤

Fall Recovery
How is the seedling looking? She took a fall yesterday afternoon and I immediately rescued her as I could and repotted into final 3 gallon fabric pot (actually 5 gallon but only had enough Coco Loco for 3 gallons). Thank you for the read, happy growing and learning. :)

How tall will they grow to be?
How tall will these outdoor untrained, soil based photoperiod plants grow to be (best rough guess)? I believe they're a sativa-dominant Sour strain (either Ultra Sour or S.A.G.E and Sour bag-seed). Currently over 1 meter tall from soil at 60 days old in 7 Gallon pot.

Topping/Cloning Question
I am planning on topping at node 5 and using the clipping to plant in a rockwool pellet for cloning. Would I still need a rooting gel if the clipping is being placed directly in a rockwool pellet? Appreciate the read, happy growing and learning.

Benefits of FIMing vs Topping? Specific example.
First grow. Looking at FIM results I'm super confused! It looks like if I had waited for the next segment to emerge and topped it (pics), I would get the same 4 branches (potential colas) AND 4 fan leaves which I have lost now due to FIM? Did FIM benefit here at all vs Topping?

Plant Topped Itself at 3rd node? Stress or mutation/morphology?
This plant split into two shoot apical meristems at 3rd node, I think? Is this due to stress, or a plant morphology/mutation? Pic 1 = weeks before pic 2. Pic 2 = 3rd node & 2 stems. Pic 3 = strain name.

Will this tape repair a broken stem?
Should I re-wrap this broken stem? Bent with too much pressure and there was a snap, though not completely severed. I applied two or three layers of duct tape, not sure if the constant pull of ties will allow it to heal and repair. When should I take the tape off?

Does too concentrated STS cause inviable pollen? Despite dabking seeing "seeds all over", There were none. someone didn't get the joke. This fem seed run failed. Lower concentrationn gave 1000s, instructed concentration gave 100s, this OD gave zero despite 100% conversion.

What is this and what can I do about it?
This brownish peel is on a lot of parts of the stem. It´s looking like it kills the nodes and leaves around it.

Are the gals safe to top or are they too stressed?
I've heard that you shouldn't top your ladies while there are any deficiencies or issues as it can be extremely stressful. Considering the light spotting and slightly burnt tips, would you say these gals are fine to top or should I wait until everything is perfect and dialed in?

New growth looking strange and growth slowed down (wilting?)
The new growth of my plants are looking a bit strange, and growth seems to be slowed down. Could this be that the light is too strong? Or can this happen if the humidity is too low? I already installed an humidifier but looks like its not helping. Whats going on? Info in week 10.

Is this a Male?
Hey growers out there, all my plants already have white hairs, the TP1 doesn't have any yet. It also looks a little strange and I'm a little worried that it could be a male. What do you think? 😰 Its Tropicanna Poison XL Auto. Never had a male before, only banana herm stuff.
