Day 31: Top After a FIM-job?
Could I top this FIM from a week ago? I have lateralized all her branches, but feel there is a lot of catching up to do. Branch spread is ideal for this grow space, but comparatively low. Am I really effecting yield, if I am satisficed with the growth in place and take the top?

Topped the same way with 2 different results?? First time grower
I tried to top 2 plants in the same way but one main shoot stopped growing, but the other had two new growths come right out of the old stem, as well as 2 bushier side stems. I am just wondering what I did differently and if both plants should work out fine. Video to show...

First time topper
So 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?

4 Branch or 2 Branch Grow?
After a 2-node top, I left 4 main branches for this 18 x 24 cabinet. 8 branch grow is a jungle from experience, but any idea if a 2-branch grow would be better than a 4 branch grow with my given space?

When to top
Curious when you guys are topping. I have just entered week 4 and the 5th real pair of leaves is just developing. Should I top now or wait for the 6th? Root system should be fine by now for the plant to handle the stress, right?

Late topping to take direct clone from topping after 8 or 9 nodes?
Late topping to get a decent clone (two nodes) with first topping? What do you guys think, is there a too late for topping? Normaly i top only the tip and take clones later from branches. My girl nr.4 is three weeks behind she could catch up, cutting the clone from branches?
