Topping gone right?

Staple_1started grow question 5y ago

Anybody ever have a topping turn out like this? Just thought it was funny I didn’t even notice. Definitely didn’t get the light it needed to grow but I’m gonna get some big colas from this baby and probably more main ones now too

Its not going to effect it but I think you've over topped it. Energy will just be put into the other stems if it doesn't grow out. Always easier to top with your fingers bending it 👍🏻 happy growing 🌱

ATTENTION!!! Blue dream 420 fastbuds harvesters Blue dream harvesters I need your help! I was reading the strain info on 420 fastbuds and It looks like they are suggesting to top it! I was under the impression that u won't supposed to top an auto. Have any of u topped this strain with success? I'll be growing this strain next!

Topping In Tiny Places I’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?

Grow strategy for 2 ILGM Purple Punch Autos I'm told this is a bushy strain and I might want to top the plant? Suggestions? If so when/how? Should I split strategies between 2 plants to see whats better for this strain? I know I'm probably over thinking it. But come on you remember when you first started. :)
