Hi mate, i would say she is a little young to start topping. I would wait till the forth node in established before cutting anything off. Good luck and happy growing

Which node is number 1
When 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 leaf

Should I defoliate after topping with LST ?
I just did my first topping and she took it very well, no signs of stress and actually growing really fast I think. I was thinking about LST the top colas so the lower ones can reach that height, should I cut the top leaves shadowing the lower future colas?

Begin topping the plant?
Hey growers, it’s day 26 this is plant #1 - Am I a bit late on training and topping? I need some advice as to what I should do next - I am very limited to spacing, growing in a 24x24x48 tent. I only have 15 inches of space left I will like to clone one and grow it outdoors

I over watered them and I think I used too much nutrition. But they look to be recovering nicely!

Topped the same way with 2 different results?? First time grower
I 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. Video to show...
