Yeah I would wait until the plant gets bigger. It is usually done between the 3-5th node with full leaf sets ( I don't like the 3rd because plant is small and that stresses it) with that said, you got a little more to go before topping. let it grow and get up to like the 5th node with full leaves, so about the 6-8 node from bottom. That is not a definite but pretty close. once it gets up there and the plant is healthy you can top at the 5th with full leaves or the 10th all about how big and what you want the plant to look like. they are looking really good keep up the great work👍 hope this help you if you have any other ?'s don't hesitate to ask😊

Hi Bob, topping can be done at different times depending on the growth strategy you are going for. If you are topping for a mainline, then you want to top after at least 6 nodes have grown. top down to the strongest 2 and remove any other nodes. If you are wanting to do a proper SCROG, you top at the 3rd, and remove the 1st, leaving node 2 and 3. With a SCROG the idea is to keep it low, and flat, so every cola gets the same amount of light and breathing room. With a mainline, your goal is to get your weight in a couple really long dense spears, so you focus all the growth on the most productive main nodes. Have fun with her and try them both at some point!

Hey ShotGunBob, for topping you should wait until you have more than three nodes and preferably wait until you have 6 or 7 nodes. Topping now my stunt the plant permanently making it grow real slow "forever" and that will turn into a damn pain over time. I'd wait until node 7 then top at the 5th node, hopefully getting 4 mains. Hope this helps ! 🚀

translucent pest in soilHi, last watering I've seen tiny translucent insects (about 1 mm) emerging from the soil. They are fast and can jump like a flea. I assume they live in soil. What are these little monsters, should I worry about them and what should I do ? TIA

First Grow 4 weeks into Veg - Let my humidity get too high for 1 night. Need help with mold/septoria/?Last 3 days I've pruned diseased leaves every morning, foliar sprayed peroxide leaves & topsoil, & added some to watering solution. Is only affecting one plant in tent. Humidity no longer issue (was waiting 4 inline fan). If I keep pulling off leaves it's going to die anyway.

What and why?What are these and do I need to address it?
I'm a couple of weeks in to my grow and just spotted these little critters when I was cleaning my run off saucers. I'm guessing there's more inside the soil are they harmful to my plants?

As I mentioned above, I will need to harvest around the end of week 13 with just shy of 8 weeks of flowering. Just from seeing how the buds have developed so far, how much will the quality/quantity of the final product suffer from harvesting that early?Week 10

I’m not sure, but I feel like I’m getting slow, compact growth. The fan leaves are coming in pretty fat. This my 3rd grow. Still in the middle of flowering my 2nd grow. So I’m not exactly sure when things are going right, just notice when the start to look off.Week 3

So I am currently week 5-6 with Crocketts Confidential. I have not been seeing a lot of upward growth, but mostly just bushyness. The plants themselves look happy and healthy to my eye. Any recommendations to get these girls growing upwards?Week 5
