Grow QuestionsShould I top a second time?

Should I top a second time?

Jake13255started grow question 4 years ago

I topped these 12 days ago and wondering if they would benefit from another topping before I flip. Or would this not help yield at all. They are under a Mars hydro ts2000

I’ve noticed that unless you veg for at least another week after toppings, yields are not increased. Good luck ✌️🏻💚🌿

Top em and like said already, just give them a week to recover before flip. I just topped an auto 7 times and it's only just 3 wks old. Looks lovely. Good luck mate

I would let them rest a week to recover so would that increase yields?

Bending branch I decided to bend the branch to form a bush.The stem was quite thick and when I bent it, I formed a large bend radius, but the next day I noticed that it took a sharp angle. How bad is it, and if it's bad, how to fix it? Thanks in advance🙏

Outdoor growers: fim/top?I want to make sure to clarify that this question is only for outdoor growers with a photoperiod limited solely by the nature of the changing seasons. Should I even bother with fim/topping? Is the juice worth the squeeze? Let me know your thoughts, or even better, results

Ramo apicale spezzato Nell eseguire un cropping su una piantina, ho spezzato il ramo apicale, che avevo piegato nella scorso settimana con un lavoro Lst. È rimasto attaccato da una piccola parte di stelo, la mia domanda è meglio staccarla del tutto e continuare con i rami laterali?

When to top?When do you start counting nodes? At the first true leaf or the slightly larger single leaves at the bottom? It looks like there’s maybe 4 nodes on that middle plant even tho it’s like 2.5 weeks old. So could I top it soon?

HST pinch/snap method?I want to try the pinch/snap HST method on this plant but she's in my tent with multiple other plants so my concern is stressing her too much and turning her into a hermaphrodite. Has anyone tried this method before and what do you recommend?

Bruce Banner specific needs I was wondering what specific needs does the Bruce Banner #3 strain needs for climate and nutrients, grow calendar and training techniques but my grow space is small : 60 x 40 cm. (23 x 15 inches) so I should probably go for a sog, big bud or lollypopping. Thanks
