Is this junction at Risk. Should I support this joint below the topping-site, a visible hole has formed at the base of the Topping site.

Should I defoliate after topping with LST ?
I just did my first topping and she took it very well, no signs of stress and actually growing really fast I think. I was thinking about LST the top colas so the lower ones can reach that height, should I cut the top leaves shadowing the lower future colas?

Topping, lst
Hi beautiful ppl! I topped and bended my plants over a week ago. Most of them reacted great, and became more bushy. One haven't developed any side branches, and none on the place of topping.. just same number of fan leaves continues to grow 😕 what can it be?

Which node is number 1
When counting nodes for the first topping, which node is number 1? The cotyledons? First single serrated leaf? 1st 3 fingered leaf? I'm counting pairs of leaves as those are where the nodes are, just not sure which to count as number 1. Personally, i say first 3 fingered leaf

Should I top this branch at week 3 of flower?
The thickest branch on my plant is taller than all the rest. Just started week 3 of flowering. Should I top it down to the same height as the rest of the plant?

Topping Too Extreme?
I was trying to even out the main growth area, as this plant stretched between 5&6th nodes. It looked like a palm tree. It's done now, but should I treat the wound?

Too early to top?
Is it too early to top the plant below the top nodes? Trying to not get ahead of myself or be too hasty since this is my first grow. Would it be worth it at this point or would it be better to get some more growth in?
