If it is a photoperiod topping is ideal. If it is a autoflower just do lst. If growing in coco coir add perlite to mix. Also have calmag available. Probably due for a bigger planter looks like soon. Good luck and happy growing. Would wait on doing anything till it perks up. 🌲🌲👊

Thanks guys, I guess I will do LST in a couple of days then and wait for trying topping on photos, I already gave them stress enough in their short life 😅😇 I didn't realize that automatic means more stress for the grower 😬 @Spacecade55, it is growing in hydroponics (100 liters), shouldn't that give them enough room for roots? 😁 @Roberts what would be the perlite for? I think I gonna go for clay next time, the hydroponics reservoir should be cleaner then

No point in topping in a 1 litre pot. It won't have the root mass to bush out . Unless you plan on potting up. You can top autos but it's generally not recommended as they have a limited window for veg and topping will set it back . Use LST in veg for autos , bend the main top down anchoring the bottom , opening up the lower node sites . Do this about 2/3 weeks from seed. If you plan on staying in a 1 litre pot then no LST is required as it will stay small . Good luck 🌱👍

From the looks of it she is still recovering from prior stress, try waiting a couple more days until new and healthy foliage pops out. You want to top your plant when she is at full health to prevent unnecessary stress and to increase recovery time. Hope this helps! Good luck and happy growing :)
