You can top anytime .... I like to wait until it's good and booming before I put heavy stress on them but they are resilient little buggers and always bounce back we topped about 3 weeks in the first time but u can do it as many times as you need to keep you canopy level...

I topped on day 18 from seed. My plant is huge! If you have healthy plant you can top early.

Usually they will wait until the 4th-6th node up before starting training this is because it can stress a small plant alot and could kill her if done too soon but anywhere after the 4th node you should be fine :) Best of luck my friend :)

Topping techinque: 4 main colasI'm approaching topping for the first time. The aim is to get 4 main colas, without FIM. The intention is to cut at the 3rd node (cut C) in order to develop the branches of nodes 2 and 3 as main ones. Does this make sense? Has anyone already had any experience with this?

Which node is number 1When counting nodes for the first topping, which node is number 1? The cotyledons? First single serrated leaf? 1st 3 fingered leaf? I'm counting pairs of leaves as those are where the nodes are, just not sure which to count as number 1. Personally, i say first 3 fingered leafWeek 2

Topped the same way with 2 different results?? First time growerI tried to top 2 plants in the same way but one main shoot stopped growing, but the other had two new growths come right out of the old stem, as well as 2 bushier side stems.
I am just wondering what I did differently and if both plants should work out fine.

Topping In Tiny PlacesI’ve been topping my autos in a 3.8 sf stealth cabinet religiously at the 20ish day. In hydro that is around node 6-7. Would topping earlier giving the speed of growth that hydro provides, say at 3-4 node, make the plant less bushy and easier to manage? Ideas for tiny places?Week 1
