Hi there, I would still top that plant as long as it's still in the vegetative stage for a week or longer! And don't worry about losing bud sites she will put her growth energy to the lower branches and increase the yield! You will actually increase the amount of bud sites by topping her. You also have the choice of doing some low-stress training instead. This will increase your yields by opening up the canopy to those lower bud sites. I can't tell by your diaries but if it is an auto I would recommend the low stress training over the topping. ☺️

Go for it! Plants like 1 to multiple toppings! I have outdoor ladies that I’ve topped already five times to control height! It will increase your yield too! Do it! ✌️🏻💚💨🌿

Yeah it will still grow fine like a normal topping.. you just have a plant with nice lateral branching.. so it’s growing wide and like it’s been topped already.
If you haven’t flipped to 12/12 - go for it! It will recover fine. I’d probably top all those tops personally and really spread that canopy well. Looking great

Topping techinque: 4 main colasI'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?

Cuando hacer corte apical en automáticas?He visto que muchos cultivadores tienen buenos resultados junto al LST, por ende, cuándo debería hacer un corte apical a mis automáticas? Es realmente recomendable o debería dejar que los fenotipos muestren si genética original?

He visto un vídeo donde hablan de defoliación y poda de bajo luego de pasar las plantas a 12/12, he leido que una vez se coloca las plantas a florecer nono debería; ahora mismo tengo unas plantas que llevan 5 días que las pase a 12/12 y tengo debajo de la malla unas ramas que no llevan luz y en la parte de arriba unas hojas muy grandes que paran el paso de la luz, puedo defoliar y hacer poda de bajos al 7mo dia?
