Topping !
Hi! I transferred my plant into a bigger bag 2 days ago, itโs looking very positive and it bounced back. The 5th node is just coming up. I think Iโm going to top tomorrow morning, Seems good ??plus should I train the plant straight away at all? (Iโm gonna top only once) THANKS!

Grow strategy for 2 ILGM Purple Punch Autos
I'm told this is a bushy strain and I might want to top the plant? Suggestions? If so when/how? Should I split strategies between 2 plants to see whats better for this strain? I know I'm probably over thinking it. But come on you remember when you first started. :)

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?

Should I top this again?
I'll need to flip it to flower in about 3 weeks or so and I'm curious if I should top it again before I flip the light schedule or would it just hurt me in the long run?

Topping an auto flower
I want to top the big wedding cake but I'm worried I waited too late and at the rate she is growing I think she is an auto (wasnt supposed to be). Should I go ahead and top her or just let her go? I have read lots of mixed reviews about topping autos.

Putting back into veg before pistils and sexual maturity?
Can you veg even after a 12/12 from seed has been in flower room 3 weeks shes just not big enough and would also like to top her so I really am considering it, the reason being is I can't see one pistil yet which means she's not mature, I don't see why it would make a difference
