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!Techniques. Topping

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?1y ago

Did I wait too long to top?I just topped, main-lined, and defoliated. The stem is about the thickness of a pencil, and the nodes are very tightly packed.
The reason I waited so long to top was because I wanted to clone the cuttings and give them to a friend.
My question is, did I wait too long to top?5y ago

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?Leaves. Color - Yellow

ToppingHi! How many main branches are best left after topping? In my last grow I left 8 branches (4 nodes) and it was too difficult to train them. Leaving 4 main branches in "plus" shape would be a good solution? Which option will save me more time (fast veg is important for me)? ThanksWeek 3

Topping In Tiny PlacesIโve been topping my autos in a 3.8 sf stealth cabinet religiously at the 20ish day. In hydro that is around node 6-7. Would topping earlier giving the speed of growth that hydro provides, say at 3-4 node, make the plant less bushy and easier to manage? Ideas for tiny places?Week 1
