now. in short you want as many tops as you can with Scrog so you can guide each of the tops into its own square of the netting a repeat that process until every square is filled it takes alot of time but its worth it in the end :)

Top now or wait? Growing 4th node.I'm about a week into veg, plants look to be about 4-6 inches tall. Most are going into their 4th node. Should I wait longer or is now a good time? Also, should I wait for all plants to be at around the same stage or should I top the ones that are ready first?Week 1

Getting anxious to see some buds.
Have 3 Black D.O.G. From HSO that have been in veg for almost 12 weeks and begging to flower. Do you think I will run out of room from stretching if I let them veg much longer?Week 11

Topping/Cloning QuestionI am planning on topping at node 5 and using the clipping to plant in a rockwool pellet for cloning. Would I still need a rooting gel if the clipping is being placed directly in a rockwool pellet? Appreciate the read, happy growing and learning.Setup. Clones

Topping or LST after 1st toppingLast week I topped this little baby, the plant now is growing ok. I noticed that not only the two top side branches are growing a lot, but that the ones on the node under it too.
I would like to make the 4 grow and like that I don't have to top more, is it ok? How can I do it?3y ago

Training techniques. DWC indicaIn a mostly indica strain, for a 2x4 tent and a 240W LED. Does it pay off to top 2x? I have 5 nodes of new growth after topping and not sure what my next steps should be. I am training the entire thing but feeling like I should do something additional. Thx for any suggestionsWeek 5
