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

Topping at two weeks?
I wonder what the effect of topping so early will have? Week two is pretty unconventional, with most preferring 3-5 weeks. She seems pretty happy though. Hopefully this will give maximum uninterrupted ( minus of course the LST ) veg time now.

Dudas sobre Topping
I have several questions. The plant is at the 6th growth node. Should I do the topping above the 4th node or above the 5th node? Should the cut be at 90 degrees or at 45 degrees?

Tropicana bananna-стресс или моя ошибка
Hello guys Help.... 700W LED Full spectrum IS IT TRUE?!?!.. Tropicana banana - week 11, growth has stopped, fertilizer - florra trio (according to the chart), could it be that I got stress during LST? Or during topping? The main thing! I don't know when to switch to 12/12. This is my first photoperiod.

Hey Guys! I’m doing two autos - Runtz Auto by Zamnesia. Currently entering the 3 week. They have precisely 15 days from seed. What do you think of topping? Or half topping? Regardless, i found some different answers, positive and negative about this method of training.

Topping question.
The question is experienced. Today I cut all 4 colas into two of my plants to bifurcate them. I have read many articles and watched many YouTube videos, but there is no definitive information. Will this increase yields and help fill the skrog net? Or was it not worth it?

How is it looking?
How are the plants looking? Adding a new light soon so they can get extra space, however im a bit worried as the fan leaves are growing huge shadowing the nodes. The strain is mother gorilla from RQS
Leaves. Too many

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?

autos growing too tall?
First time grower, 5 plants (autos) just over 5 weeks from germination in greenhouse (50-60cm in height), wondering if they are growing too tall and if it is too late to either top or carry out some low stress training at this stage? Any other advice welcome. Thank you all

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.
