GanjaGoosestarted grow question 4 years ago
Our 3rd grow and the first time experiencing a plant with multiple tops. Have a total of 6 buds on the top (2x3 tops) and 8 on the next level (4x2) tops. Should we be focusing efforts on the 14 bud sites or do you try and promote more sites with super cropping or scrogging?

Just try and focus as much light on all those buds as possible, that could mean removing one or two that don't get light or stretching, training and tying the longer ones and removing some of the lower growth. 👍🌱

The goal should be to make sure the canopy stays as even as possible by tying down taller branches.

First time topperSo as a newbie grower I will be trying to top my plant for the first time. The 6th node is developing and about ready to snip off. I was wondering if there is a proper time during day to do it? Does light schedule timing have any effect?Techniques. Topping

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

Topping Training :)Hello everyone, I just repotted my baby into a 2 gallon bag yesterday. This is what it looks like. Just because of the height of my box (60”) I’m gonna top the plant once, then train it I think this is what I’m most comfortable in. Any better ideas ? + when to top !? :)Techniques. Topping

Topping Vs Not ToppingMy Green Crack Autoflower just started lst and I have been reading alot of mixed things about topping autoflower.
Would you guys risk topping an autoflower, having it stunt or negatively effect yeild OR
Top it to break the plants apical dominance and therefore create more colas?Techniques. Topping
