Topping or not topping

Celticweedstarted grow question 5y 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 👍

Autoflower topping?... and if so, when is best?My friend is recommending that I top at the fifth node with the knowledge I'm growing autos. However, many grower's here discourage it completely for autos. What's the best practise? I've never topped so this may need spelling out for me. Thanks in advance ✂️

Topping auto northern light I'm considering topping my northern lights auto one of the following days, as it's starting to grow towards its 4th node. Most diaries I've seen for this strain take 12+ weeks, so that seems like it should have some time to recover from that. Anyone has any experience w auto top?

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

When do I start Low Stress Training and Will topping help along with LST to increase harvest?When do I start Low Stress Training? and Will Topping help with LST to maximize harvest or Is it better if I just do only Low Stress Training? The Plant is at Day 36th (35 Days and 11 Hours Right now) Are those 2 small dried leaves a sign of a problem?
