Organomananswered grow question 4 years ago
Personally, I remove the bottom 2 / first 2 branches closest to the soil, (at the first knot/node) as they usually grow rather weakly.
I also prefer to have 8-10 growing branches, so topping at either the fifth or sixth knot/node is my preferred method, remembering the first/lowest node will have no branches with the method I employ. Tying the branches down in a radial pattern outward from the main stem, once they grow long enough, will also limit height and increase the yield too.
Hope this helps,..... Organoman.

Topping can be done once there is 5 - 6 nodes.
Fimming can be done with there is 3 - 5 nodes as the stress is not as great.
Once done either process give your plant 2 weeks to recover before performing another.
The below article I found was informative with great detail and pictures regarding both processes.

I personally topped mine at the 6th node when I had 12 nodes so that I could clone my clipping, as I'm not proficient in cloning yet 😁
Great Luck & Happy Growing 🍃

By knots you're referring to nodes. A node grows on each leaf. Ide count 5 leaves up and remove the top. Resulting in 10 branches growing.
In this photo. The next set of leaves growing out the top are your 5th nodes. Wait until these new leaves grow out and remove the top above it.
And you'll have a nice bushy plant in no time.

HST at week 2.5 in flower?I’m roughly in between weeks 2-3 of flowering and was wondering if I can still high stress train at this point? Some of the tallest branches are within 6 inches of the light and I expect them to gain a few more inches even. Light is also at max height.Week 7

Training Automatics - best practices!Hi guys. How do you go about training automatics? Some say only LST, some don't hesitate to top several times and some say to just leave it grow by itself. I'd love to top'em a few times but I'm not sure. Please HALP! Thank you!

FIMIN During Flower?Hey guys. I'm wk 3 in flower and I was just wondering how far into this stage yall will continue to FIM for tops? I have held off for the logic that they need energy for bud form but how far have yall pushed them? Do you have a specific time that you just refuse to touch the girl

Why do you top your plants?This isn’t really a question but I just wanted to show you guys the effectiveness of LST/HST. I did an 8 cola mainline last grow, so I’m very familiar with topping.
This is definitely a good method to achieve a topped canopy while reducing veg time:)
