Hey Servus Mate,
With a fem, no Problem. In case she wouldn't take the topping well you could extend Veg for a few days until she's better on.
Personally I wouldn't do it to an Automatic plant. Too less time to recover and additional Stress because of the transission from Veg to bloom. Don't think that would be a smart idea.
Good luck and happy trails for the rest of the way🤞

If it is an auto, I would say don't do it.
If it is a photoperiod plant, I would say it is not ideal, but probably do-able. Usually it takes 2-3 weeks for a plant to fully recover from topping and resume normal growth. Hope this helps,..........

Day 31: Top After a FIM-job?Could I top this FIM from a week ago? I have lateralized all her branches, but feel there is a lot of catching up to do. Branch spread is ideal for this grow space, but comparatively low. Am I really effecting yield, if I am satisficed with the growth in place and take the top?Week 5

LST after ToppingWhen 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!Techniques. LST

Benefits of FIMing vs Topping? Specific example.First grow. Looking at FIM results I'm super confused!
It looks like if I had waited for the next segment to emerge and topped it (pics), I would get the same 4 branches (potential colas) AND 4 fan leaves which I have lost now due to FIM?
Did FIM benefit here at all vs Topping?

Topping/Cloning QuestionI am planning on topping at node 5 and using the clipping to plant in a rockwool pellet for cloning. Would I still need a rooting gel if the clipping is being placed directly in a rockwool pellet? Appreciate the read, happy growing and learning.Setup. Clones

To top or not to top. That is the question.Hey Growers. Looking for some advice. Would you suggest flowering next week-10 days with 7 big tops/plant or top and veg 1-2 weeks having 14/plant and maybe Scrog. This will be in my 2x4x5 with the XS2000. Thanks in advance for the help.
Happy Growing 🌱

Topping techinque: 4 main colasI'm approaching topping for the first time. The aim is to get 4 main colas, without FIM. The intention is to cut at the 3rd node (cut C) in order to develop the branches of nodes 2 and 3 as main ones. Does this make sense? Has anyone already had any experience with this?
