Should I top it or not.
marzadzstarted grow question 3 years ago
Just planted my germinated seed into soil, now I’m really debating if I should top my Wedding Cake. Or just let it go. I have 60cmx60cmx140cm Mars Hydro Tent. I just don’t want it to go too tall... why do you guys think ? thanks !!!!

To make the most out of that space I would definitely top it and then put up a scrog net to make use of that area.
If you don’t want to scrog I would even top it, let the two new shoots grow out and then top those too creating 4 main heads. By the time those have grown out the side branches should have caught up almost to the height of the new 4 main heads giving a more full canopy.
You tend to find the more heads a plant has at one level the less it stretches as the plants energy is spread across multiple sites rather than a single main branch. Also you will get a better yield this way too.
Hope this helps buddy and happy growing👍

I would top 4-5 times everything.
After use a net.

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?

Light distance and when to top?I'm using a 300W LED. What distance should I keep the lights at now that I've transplanted and the plants are doing well? I'm thinking 24" and then move up as they grow until flipping. Also, when should I top? I've read that waiting for 6-8 nodes is the right way to go.

ToppingSorry - Another topping / training question: When is the best time to "Top" your plants in regards to time of the day, e.g. morning/midday/night in terms of light schedule?
In short: do you cuts your plants when the lights come on, before they go off, or somewhere in between?Week 4

New nodes after topping very small, should I top more?I topped my plants a few days ago, but just the tips when the side nodes where just as little as a few mm. I've seen a lot of you topping like a whole bunch of the top. I mainlined my plants but I dont know if I should top them again so the nodes under the top become main nodes.

Is it bad to top an autoflower at this stage?I accidentally broke off the top of the plant while attempting to low stress train and now it came like this, kinda like topping.. is it bad to stress the plant this much since it's an auto on week 5? Honestly I think it's a mutant as it has lots of growth but stayed quite small.
