second topping @third week
GoldenWeedGrowerstarted grow question 3 years ago
I would like to perform the second topping on saturday (at the end of the 3rd week) on the two top branches. I've drafted a sign on the picture where the cuts will be made.
Do you think they are ok ? In your opinion the timing is ok ?
Thx

Hi there, I belive this is a auto plant, so taking that in to consideration the tend to pre flower at day 28-30ish if not shocked to be earlier, so I would say you have 7 days left until pre flowers, take into account the healing time of a topping which is recommended 7 days, this will slow growth down at a vital point that you do not want, I would say leave it let it grow but its totally up to you. Haply growing my friend 💪💚

Is this the autoflower shown in your diary. If that is the case I would not have done any topping and certainly wouldn't do any more.

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

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?)?9 months ago

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?Techniques.

Are the gals safe to top or are they too stressed?I've heard that you shouldn't top your ladies while there are any deficiencies or issues as it can be extremely stressful. Considering the light spotting and slightly burnt tips, would you say these gals are fine to top or should I wait until everything is perfect and dialed in?Week 3
