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

I have a short tent so the plants shouldn't grow higher than 70cm. What would you recommend to make sure it doesn't grow long? Maybe flowering early?

LST/Topping for autoflowers?
Growing an afghan kush auto and a skunk villain auto (both 5 gal pots) in a snug 2.5 x 2.5. Wanting a uniform height I wasn't sure if I should top and/or train either- was thinking LST for the Skunk? Would also like to keep height mod. without sacrificing too much on the harvest.

Are the girls ready for flower??
Hi all! I’m wondering when will be good to switch to flower? I’m at start of week 5 & I topped them 1 week ago. Did a small amount of defoliation today to get rid of some yellow leaves that were laying on the soil. Do they look almost ready? Or wait due to topping & defoliation?

When am I ready to start topping my plants?
I was thinking of topping my plants in about a weeks time after they're a little more established in their larger pots unless the stressed one doesn't start to bounce back. Does it seem to early for that?

LST after Topping
When would you start doing LST after doing a topping? I have topped about 3 days ago now, and have good growth from the new sites, about 1/2 inch of stock coming from the tops. Worried if I LST a little too early those new tops might not be grown enough yet!

Too late to top?
Is it too late to top this lady? I have want to remove the small nug at the tip so the energy can be diverted to lower nodes. Or should I just leave her be?

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.
