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

Benefits of FIMing vs Topping? Specific example.First grow. Looking at FIM results I'm super confused!
It looks like if I had waited for the next segment to emerge and topped it (pics), I would get the same 4 branches (potential colas) AND 4 fan leaves which I have lost now due to FIM?
Did FIM benefit here at all vs Topping?1y ago

Show I cut main stem?Should I get rid of the main stem and just grow the surrounding bud sites? The main stem is getting too tall compared to the other stems so thinking I have to do something to help them catch up? Or just cut the main stem entirely? Finished 1st week of 12 12 tonight.5y ago

Top or lst and whenShould i top her and if yes, when? She is a fotoperiod but a very fast one, and she is probably ready to harvest around the beginning of September. She is about 3,5 weeks old now so she doesn't have that much time to grow I think. Same for my other plant, that us an auto.or lst?Week 3
