I topped my plant at day 18 from seed. I wouldn't recommend that unless you have a very healthy plant.

Hi there, You can topped a plant when she has 4 to 5 nodes.But for your plant, you've done a strong LST.If you don't have intention to topping more than one time, I recommend to continue on LST.Bend the main stem, spread the branches and make an even canopy.Happy growing... ✌️

I have a full tent of plants with level trained canopies. I couldn't get Banana Purple Punch B to bend at the top, so I just tied down the side branches. However, I'm afraid of her growing taller than the rest of the canopy. Should I top her?

Topping techinque: 4 main colas I'm approaching topping for the first time. The aim is to get 4 main colas, without FIM. The intention is to cut at the 3rd node (cut C) in order to develop the branches of nodes 2 and 3 as main ones. Does this make sense? Has anyone already had any experience with this?

How and when to train?Hi, first grow here. My automatics are at their 16th day above ground. I think I have to top one of my plants to keep her height in check. Where and when should I top her? should I rather only do LST or maybe even wait for now (but they are automatics, so I should be quick?)?

Bottom leaves yellowish - why? And can I top?On both of my plants (C99 & S.A.D.) the bottom leaves are turning yellowish and I can't figure out why. I'd also like to top them this week (above 3rd node), but I'm hesitant because of the leaves. Any advice on what they may be missing, and whether I should wait with topping?

Time to top?Is it time to top? I feel like I need a little bit more stretching first. Maybe even allow another node to develop? When should I top in relation to feeding/watering and lights out?

Topping question.The question is experienced. Today I cut all 4 colas into two of my plants to bifurcate them. I have read many articles and watched many YouTube videos, but there is no definitive information. Will this increase yields and help fill the skrog net? Or was it not worth it?

Topping question....I want to continue training according to the "topping" method, but I have a question ... Tell me, please, who knows. I want to prune all 4 colas on each plant to bifurcate them. Can I do this one day? Or should it be done intermittently?

Training Automatics - best practices!Hi guys. How do you go about training automatics? Some say only LST, some don't hesitate to top several times and some say to just leave it grow by itself. I'd love to top'em a few times but I'm not sure. Please HALP! Thank you! (Pic pretty unrelated, it's my last Mimosa EVO)
