It's normally around the 4-5th node (sets of leaves) if it's a auto I wouldn't do it because they don't have time to recover properly.

You could top it now if you wanted but if you wanna play safe, wait for one more node pair to grow and then top.

LST during flowering?Hey all, do you keep adjusting and opening up the plant throughout flowering to improve light and air penetration into the canopy? She's getting further along flowering and I don't want to negatively impact it but the branches were so tight they weren't drying after rain.5y ago

Late topping to take direct clone from topping after 8 or 9 nodes?Late topping to get a decent clone (two nodes) with first topping?
What do you guys think, is there a too late for topping? Normaly i top only the tip and take clones later from branches.
My girl nr.4 is three weeks behind she could catch up, cutting the clone from branches?Plant. Too tall

Are my plants too little for LST?When should I start LST my plants? They are coming up on being there weeks old and I was thinking I'd start soon, but I think they might be too small and I'd hate to hurt them. Any advice would be greatly appreciated? And thank you!Techniques. LST

LST during flower?LST during flower?
I'm pretty happy with the size and shape of them, except PPP3! However I'm not sure if I should continue to keep them as short as possible, or let them just grow up now.
I've never used LST before, so any help would be greatly appreciated! Week 9

Should i take off the hooks (LST)Someone here told me that it is not fair to lay the girls on the ground as i did, because the leaves touches the soil.
Should i set them free to go up and continue the LST once the plant is some centimetres up?
Or should i leave it like this and keep going? I dunno what to do.Week 4

Grow help and adviceHey guys little help.
Need an opinion on how my plants are looking. I’ve successfully LST the one but left the other. Both are topped under 18/6 light. Watering .75 L with bio buzz grow and add bloom and top max every other watering.
