Topping or not topping

Celticweedstarted grow question 4 years ago

Hia, from the litterature from different blogs I guess it is time to top those babies. What do you think, they are feminised and are producing (in theory) xxl buds? I would top it down and leave 6 main branches per plant. Would I be right?

Yes definitely top it . It helps even out the structure of the plant and bud size. You only have to be cautious about topping auto flower plants. Happy Growing and good luck 👍

Dudas sobre Topping Tengo varias dudas. La planta está por 6 nudo de crecimiento ¿Hago el topping por encima del 4 nudo o por encima del 5 nudo? ¿El corte debe ser a 90 grados o a 45 grados? Leo muchos artículos y foros con distintas opiniones, pero no me queda claro... Gracias!

Next up is...Should I top the plant? Or look to give it 12hrs darkness every day? I´m guessing not to expect something from the plant, so I can try anything right...

4 Branch or 2 Branch Grow?After a 2-node top, I left 4 main branches for this 18 x 24 cabinet. 8 branch grow is a jungle from experience, but any idea if a 2-branch grow would be better than a 4 branch grow with my given space?

LST and Topping I am starting to feed them nutrients and they are growing faster lately. I am considering starting LST and topping next week. LST when it reaches 4/5 nodes, and topping above the 5th node. Do you have any tips on how to perform this the best way ? Thank you in advance !
