Grow QuestionsTopping during Flowering: good or bad?

Topping during Flowering: good or bad?

BigBaldBuddystarted grow question 4 years ago

Does topping “fast growing” colas during flowering (for light purposes) help or hinder flower dev and/or harvest? Or should I sacrifice tallest ones to possible bleaching? Canopy was level before flower, but a few colas took off, creating uneven SoG (6" diff)

Daft question time pistils Might sound really stupid question but still. Two plants same strain big one has been fimmed twice and has lots of branches and bud sites, small plant only 1 main cola. Small one has lots of big pistles the big ones alot slower is it because its much bigger & has more work to do?

Supercropping during flower?Is it fine to super crop my plants now during week 2 and 3 of flowering to thicken up stems in order to support bigger bud growth and to open up the center of the plant for better light penetration?
