ToppingNever topped plants before, this is my first time growing and with the tight spacing of the nodes might have damaged the little growth in the crotch when I cut... Should I be ok or did I potentially damage the yield potential? Should be able to zoom in on last few pics of week 3Week 3

ToppingHi! How many main branches are best left after topping? In my last grow I left 8 branches (4 nodes) and it was too difficult to train them. Leaving 4 main branches in "plus" shape would be a good solution? Which option will save me more time (fast veg is important for me)? ThanksWeek 3

Too late to top these autos? I'm at the end of 3rd week.Should I have topped this one a couple days ago? These girls have been very vigorous. The only thing that gave me pause was these miniscule white pistils right here. Can I snip em, you think? Or bad idea? And if yes, should I FIM instead?4 years ago

Putting back into veg before pistils and sexual maturity?Can you veg even after a 12/12 from seed has been in flower room 3 weeks shes just not big enough and would also like to top her so I really am considering it, the reason being is I can't see one pistil yet which means she's not mature, I don't see why it would make a difference4 years ago

ToppingHi guys. Do my plants need topping if I have little space (60x40x120cm) and I am planning a scrog? Are the plants ready for topping? After topping, I plan to use only lst + scrog, no mainlines/manifolds. I also plan to turn on the lights 12/12 in a week or two. Thanks!4 years ago

How to top to make more colas (mainline)I was curious if anyone could help me understand how they train their plant to separate into like 7 or 8 different branches right down at the bottom of the stem. Almost looks like multiple topping on top of each. Any advice? Added a photo for more clarity.Techniques. Topping

second topping @third weekI would like to perform the second topping on saturday (at the end of the 3rd week) on the two top branches. I've drafted a sign on the picture where the cuts will be made.
Do you think they are ok ? In your opinion the timing is ok ?
