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 :)

First time topper
So as a newbie grower I will be trying to top my plant for the first time. The 6th node is developing and about ready to snip off. I was wondering if there is a proper time during day to do it? Does light schedule timing have any effect?

GDP2 "Retopping"?
So... is it normal for the plants to "retop" themselves? I topped GDP2 like 3 days ago and now it looks as though what I cut off is growing back again. Should I top it again in the same spot?

4x4 16 Plant Veg Time and Training
Hello guys, I am planning on flowering these 16 ladies in my 4x4, but I am unsure of how long to veg and what training to utilize for maximum yield. I was thinking 3-4 weeks? Or maybe longer? Is topping in such a tight space a good idea? If yes then at what time? Thanks!

Did I do this right? Also did I just do unnecessary labor pitting this up?
My plant is about to start flowering and my branches look kinda thin so I thought maybe the netting g would help with that if the get too heavy. I'm not sure if I did it right though or if it was really necessary

Trellis Net?
When would be the best time to set up Trellis Net? I also did a little research on it, read that it's a difference between Trellis, and SCROG, I'm thinking I'm wanting to do SCROG, to be able to keep training plants. If you have more information on this let me know 😁 Thank you!

Topping early at the third node
Hi. I have topped two plants above the third node but I don't intend to main-line them. They both had developed four mature nods. Was I too early to top and I cut at the wrong node? Can they develop enough branches to Scrog a 70x70cm grow? They kept growing after the topping
