not yet, maybe a week from now. top either the 5th or 6th node. let it grow where yu can leave around a half inch of stem to make sure it strong and that yu actually top not fim. if yu cut it to close to the node below it may split later when yu doing lst or scrog .

Top your plants after they've developed between 3–5 nodes, as this is when their roots and stems are strong enough to recover from the stress of the process.

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.
