Something grows out there even though it has been topped and it only grows very slowly compared to the others. should we leave it on or remove it?

You're probably safe to remove that now, or let it grow and see what happens 💪

How is it looking?How are the plants looking? Adding a new light soon so they can get extra space, however im a bit worried as the fan leaves are growing huge shadowing the nodes. The strain is mother gorilla from RQSLeaves. Too many

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.Leaves. Too few

Topping an auto flowerI want to top the big wedding cake but I'm worried I waited too late and at the rate she is growing I think she is an auto (wasnt supposed to be). Should I go ahead and top her or just let her go? I have read lots of mixed reviews about topping autos.Week 3

to top or not to topI would like to top my plant but this is my first time I am doing this. The plant is in veggie week 3 under 16/8, about 19cm tall. What do you think? Can I cut in two days? Should I cut at the red line or at the blue line (see picture attached)?Techniques. Topping

Did I wait too long to top?I just topped, main-lined, and defoliated. The stem is about the thickness of a pencil, and the nodes are very tightly packed.
The reason I waited so long to top was because I wanted to clone the cuttings and give them to a friend.
My question is, did I wait too long to top?5y ago
