no! definitely not......!!! topping only after 3 nodes that means let it grow 4 or 5 nodes... then top above the 3rd

My plants are topped and i used lst to pull my branches horizontal. When i flip to flower, i am going to place a scrog net. Should i top my main tips again before flipping to flower or just let them grow? Don't want them outgrowing other branches when i let everything grow up.

Make LST or not?
Is it better to continue with defoliation only and switch lights 20th of January, or make some lst now and let her evolve longer (until the end of January...)? She had topping already💀

3 weeks in. Fan leaves the size of my hand. Topped today. How long until 2nd topping?
Directly planted seeds in organic living soil. These plants are vigorously growing, topped today. By the way things are going I believe that the recovery time will be very short. All organic ingredients. De chlorinated water with vitamin c. Fan leaves are larger then my hand

When do you start topping? Photoperiods need to LST? Can ya'll just go look at my diary and tell me if my ladies look like they should LOL.
When to top or LST? Do these look stunted? I'm super curious about methods for best yield. I'm already worried my girls are leggy (but I've gotten some great advise already to let them rest but also give them bigger pots soon). Planted March 20th. Pictures from today.

Changing light for flower?
Hi Guys, Just topped my ladies today, they are on their last day of week 2. And I was wondering if it would be best to give them a week rest with another week of grow or should I turn my light to 12/12 already? Thanks !

Praying leaves
The leaves are stretching up (praying leaves as I understand). It's just 1 day after topping and I would expect some stress, is this a good or bad sign? I fear I might have topped them a bit too early.
