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🤞 Servus✌️ OimRausch

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,.......... Organoman.

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 Question I 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.

Are the gals safe to top or are they too stressed?I've heard that you shouldn't top your ladies while there are any deficiencies or issues as it can be extremely stressful. Considering the light spotting and slightly burnt tips, would you say these gals are fine to top or should I wait until everything is perfect and dialed in?

Bottom leaves yellowish - why? And can I top?On both of my plants (C99 & S.A.D.) the bottom leaves are turning yellowish and I can't figure out why. I'd also like to top them this week (above 3rd node), but I'm hesitant because of the leaves. Any advice on what they may be missing, and whether I should wait with topping?

How and when to train?Hi, first grow here. My automatics are at their 16th day above ground. I think I have to top one of my plants to keep her height in check. Where and when should I top her? should I rather only do LST or maybe even wait for now (but they are automatics, so I should be quick?)?

Topping techinque: 4 main colas I'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?
