TheNewNoobOnTheBlockstarted grow question 4y ago

Top her or not? It's my first time grow ever, so would you say it is advisable to do that and when is a good time to do so? Also she already seems to be stressed by my borderline abusing care 😅 Besides I think I gonna do LST on them

Hello, no don’t top it yet, you should only top when you have 5-6 nodes then you top on the 5 or 4, but be careful cause you can damage your plant. Also I thin your plant is underwater, that’s why the leafes are curling, be careful and let the top dry. Careful too to not put your light to close to the plant. Good luck!

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?

Topping Vs Not Topping My Green Crack Autoflower just started lst and I have been reading alot of mixed things about topping autoflower. Would you guys risk topping an autoflower, having it stunt or negatively effect yeild OR Top it to break the plants apical dominance and therefore create more colas?

Topping Training :)Hello everyone, I just repotted my baby into a 2 gallon bag yesterday. This is what it looks like. Just because of the height of my box (60”) I’m gonna top the plant once, then train it I think this is what I’m most comfortable in. Any better ideas ? + when to top !? :)

LST after Topping When would you start doing LST after doing a topping? I have topped about 3 days ago now, and have good growth from the new sites, about 1/2 inch of stock coming from the tops. Worried if I LST a little too early those new tops might not be grown enough yet!

Topping an auto flower I want to top the big wedding cake but I'm worried I waited too late and at the rate she is growing I think she is an auto (wasnt supposed to be). Should I go ahead and top her or just let her go? I have read lots of mixed reviews about topping autos.

When do you start topping? Photoperiods need to LST? Can ya'll just go look at my diary and tell me if my ladies look like they should LOL.When to top or LST? Do these look stunted? I'm super curious about methods for best yield. I'm already worried my girls are leggy (but I've gotten some great advise already to let them rest but also give them bigger pots soon). Planted March 20th. Pictures from today.
