I topped on day 18 from seed. You can check out my Cap'n style grow. Couple pictures there. Topping is fairly easy and lots of literature online. Good luck.

NL #5 x Haze (70% sativa) height control At what height would you recommend initiating 12/12 to prevent this strain from over-stretching after topping each plant twice to produce four tops? I hope to finish them at 3-4ft. Would I get away starting 12/12 at 9-11 inches?

When Should I Top My Plants?I plan on moving the plants outdoors within the next week or two. I'm going to be topping them, but I'm wondering if I should do it now during their last week inside or wait until I transplant and they're accustomed to the outside weather. Thanks in advance!

Topping early at the third node Hi. I have topped two plants above the third node but I don't intend to main-line them. They both had developed four mature nods. Was I too early to top and I cut at the wrong node? Can they develop enough branches to Scrog a 70x70cm grow? They kept growing after the topping

Are these autos stunned after topping Are these auto's stunned? Seen few of ppl say on here can not top autos - that is a lie. You cant top autos once the pistils show. Proof. Side by side. 2 topped. 1 without.

Top now or wait? Growing 4th node.I'm about a week into veg, plants look to be about 4-6 inches tall. Most are going into their 4th node. Should I wait longer or is now a good time? Also, should I wait for all plants to be at around the same stage or should I top the ones that are ready first?
