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. 🤘😤

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?

Im already seeing recovery after the cats have damaged her a bit; Should I keep growing her or germinate a fresh seed to ensure quality and yield?

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.

Male or female
I haven't cultivated for 8 years, I came back this month. In the first photo, can you see a small bract forming, indicating that she is female? And in the other 3 photos, do they look like balls formed or about to form? I don't want to waste time with males, and afraid to kill F

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?
