Topping or LST after 1st topping
Last week I topped this little baby, the plant now is growing ok. I noticed that not only the two top side branches are growing a lot, but that the ones on the node under it too. I would like to make the 4 grow and like that I don't have to top more, is it ok? How can I do it?

To top or not to top. That is the question.
Hey Growers. Looking for some advice. Would you suggest flowering next week-10 days with 7 big tops/plant or top and veg 1-2 weeks having 14/plant and maybe Scrog. This will be in my 2x4x5 with the XS2000. Thanks in advance for the help. Happy Growing π±

Autoflower Topping
Can one top an Auto (10-14 week strain) in late 4th week? Iβve been topping on day 21 since growing autos but feel there room based on past grows. Advantages/Disadvantages if done before preflower?

Topping autoflower?
I topped my RQS Medusa F1 autoflower at 2 nodes but topped my RQS Milky Way F1 autoflower at 3 nodes. My question is which is better or should I have done it at 4 nodes? This is my first time topping autos and I'm experimenting. Would appreciate some advice. ππ±βοΈ

Fuck. First week of 12-12 and I almost accidentally top this plant. Broke the stem enough to cause it to bleed on one side. Think it will hold/heal?
Accidentally broke one side of this stem while attempting LST through a lattice. My idea was, instead of simply topping, to bend the plant downwards into the lattice to keep it down. Problem I'm trying to solve is plants keep growing too close to lights. Thoughts? βοΈ

Outdoor topping?
Wondering if I should top my outdoor grow. I have read both directions. Topping will make bushier and seems to be the thing to do indoors. Should I top my outdoor plants? This is my first grow. Or Should I just let them be to flourish?

Auto's topping
How about Topping, Fiming, Lst, etc with Auto's? and whats better in outdoor? Is just willing to don't have a taller plants (in the case it happens) so the neighbour can't see, and increase the yield of course ehehe

Benefits of FIMing vs Topping? Specific example.
First grow. Looking at FIM results I'm super confused! It looks like if I had waited for the next segment to emerge and topped it (pics), I would get the same 4 branches (potential colas) AND 4 fan leaves which I have lost now due to FIM? Did FIM benefit here at all vs Topping?
