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. :)

Topping Never topped plants before, this is my first time growing and with the tight spacing of the nodes might have damaged the little growth in the crotch when I cut... Should I be ok or did I potentially damage the yield potential? Should be able to zoom in on last few pics of week 3

NL #5 x Haze (70% sativa) height control At what height would you recommend initiating 12/12 to prevent this strain from over-stretching after topping each plant twice to produce four tops? I hope to finish them at 3-4ft. Would I get away starting 12/12 at 9-11 inches?

Topping Hi guys. Do my plants need topping if I have little space (60x40x120cm) and I am planning a scrog? Are the plants ready for topping? After topping, I plan to use only lst + scrog, no mainlines/manifolds. I also plan to turn on the lights 12/12 in a week or two. Thanks!

Top her a second time?Do you think I should top her a second time, or is one cut enough? Should I consider flipping to 12/12 soon? I don't want to fill the outer squares of the net and give her some space. Thank you very much :)

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?
