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,..........

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?

First time toppingMy second grow ever (and first photo period attempt) involves these White Widows. I want to top these at least twice. Currently have 3 multi leaf nodes. When's a good time to do the first - and then the second - topping? I've heard several opinions. Maybe I could do 3? Thx

Topping question.The question is experienced. Today I cut all 4 colas into two of my plants to bifurcate them. I have read many articles and watched many YouTube videos, but there is no definitive information. Will this increase yields and help fill the skrog net? Or was it not worth it?

Training techniques. DWC indicaIn a mostly indica strain, for a 2x4 tent and a 240W LED. Does it pay off to top 2x? I have 5 nodes of new growth after topping and not sure what my next steps should be. I am training the entire thing but feeling like I should do something additional. Thx for any suggestions

When to start 12/12Hi people. My plants are on vegetation day 26 and are 8 inches tall. My tent setup can give them room for 15 more inches for a total of 23 inches height from soil to top.
So, when do you think I should start 12/12 to maximize the plants height and yield? Thanks.3y ago

When do you start topping? Photoperiods need to LST? Can ya'll just go look at my diary and tell me if my ladies look like they should LOL.When to top or LST? Do these look stunted? I'm super curious about methods for best yield. I'm already worried my girls are leggy (but I've gotten some great advise already to let them rest but also give them bigger pots soon). Planted March 20th. Pictures from today.
