Hey Steve, What a great name that is :) hehe I would advise training gradually as to not cause her too much stress at one given time you may slow her down or at worst stunt her I mean it seems you have been pretty heavy with the defoliation anyway so I would advise letting her recover abit from that first and then when you have some fresh new growth then start to top them one at a time. :)

New nodes after topping very small, should I top more?I topped my plants a few days ago, but just the tips when the side nodes where just as little as a few mm. I've seen a lot of you topping like a whole bunch of the top. I mainlined my plants but I dont know if I should top them again so the nodes under the top become main nodes.

As you can see, one of my plants is a few inches taller than the others. They've all been topped 3 times for 8 mains, but I'm wondering whether I should top the big plant 1 more time in an effort to achieve a more uniform canopy height before flipping to 12-12.

Topping Sorry - Another topping / training question: When is the best time to "Top" your plants in regards to time of the day, e.g. morning/midday/night in terms of light schedule? In short: do you cuts your plants when the lights come on, before they go off, or somewhere in between?

Topping Topping Question: When Topping, tutorials state to wait til you have 4-6 nodes. Does this count the cotyledon leaves, or for that matter the first single serrated leaf? Where do you begin counting nodes? Thanks in advance!

Is it bad to top an autoflower at this stage?I accidentally broke off the top of the plant while attempting to low stress train and now it came like this, kinda like topping.. is it bad to stress the plant this much since it's an auto on week 5? Honestly I think it's a mutant as it has lots of growth but stayed quite small.

Outdoor Topping Limit?Hey Gromies! My outdoor girls still have till October to grow. They are in 10 gallon smart pots in the ground to combat the high temps here. I'm hoping to keep them under my fence line but I'm starting to think I'll need to top them all a second time. Will that be an issue?

Light distance and when to top?I'm using a 300W LED. What distance should I keep the lights at now that I've transplanted and the plants are doing well? I'm thinking 24" and then move up as they grow until flipping. Also, when should I top? I've read that waiting for 6-8 nodes is the right way to go.
